Don't you just HATE it when people lie?

Question

Even the little ones, the little ones p**s me off the most, because they have no purpose... as if lying is a natural or automated thing,... people cant stop themselves. I hate the exaggerations and little fabrications laced in peoples stories just to impress. I hate the lies which are supposed to make someone feel better.

what is the trait you hate the most and what is the trait you like the most?

I value honesty, and dislike its opposite.

Answer 1

yes totally agree i got a best friend who lies to me i know this because i ask the person what she said and they say what thats not true which annoys me the most !!

also i am sure its either to make me jealous or for her to feel better about herself  

Answer 2

Yes.

Truth hurts!

But it does depend on the situation.

Answer 3

Yeah.. it's so annoying and even heartbreaking sometimes..this guy I used to know he always used to say '' I love you'' and other really sweet stuff to me.. so I f*cking ended up falling in love with him then one day I heard him say the same thing to someone else then I found out he just says it to make people feel better and not really mean it..

It would've been better it if didn't lie and just be himself.. I bet he's broken many other hearts too.. b*****d >.<

Answer 4

HATE it?  Nope.  No point in getting twisted around the axle about it.

Our culture actually promotes lying, though.  Look at how we've made the "Little White Lie" socially acceptable.

And, yes, I too place high value on honesty.  As long as I have accurate data I can go forward with some confidence.  False information is more unhelpful than no information.

Answer 5

I don't like blatant lies. Little white ones save a persons feelings sometimes and do not hurt anyone.

I hate mean people - mean in mind or mean in the way of generosity.

Mean with smiling, any kind of mean.

Answer 6

Yes, I do hate it when people lie. It's like seeing an ugly side of them, even when they seem innocent.

The trait I like the most is honesty in a sense that people don't pretend to be someone they're not, and I hate to see their masks. It just looks so fake.

Answer 7

i like a person who's humble and empathetic....dislike the opposite

Answer 8

For me it’s probably hypocrisy. Along the same lines as yourself. It’s the realisation that people preach to do one thing, but do the opposite given they're in your shoes. I can’t handle it, it really winds me up. I understand ppl aren't perfect robots but they should standby what they say.

Answer 9

I hate it when people lie all the time. I had this friend when I was younger and she lied 24/7 you never knew when she told the truth.

But if someone asks you something and you know the reply would hurt them wouldn't you maybe tell a white lie?

Im the type of person that cannot lie for my life- and being honest and nice all the time gets me in trouble.

Answer 10

When people lie, you have no respect for them, plus usually you can see straight through them. Makes me wonder what the point of it is...

Answer 11

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! me and my cousin were just discussing this today-we have a mate who lies about SILLY little things and its got to the point where you cant believe a single word she says! its quite sad as when she says something bad/tragic is happening you still wonder if she is telling the truth!

for example she once told someone that my cousins were her stepsisters!!!!! weird!

Answer 12

YES!!!!!!!   it's something i hate in a person

i understand if someone is lying to keep a suprise like a party or something but if they lie it does my head in!

to be honest if people lie to me to save my feelings getting hurt, i'd rather have them hurt.

Answer 13

Yes.

We Sagittarians are extremely honest people, it is rare that I lie.

Thus, we should be friends xD

Answer 14

Well I believe there is a need to lie sometimes.  To spare someone's feelings, for example.  Yes, I hate it when people fabricate stuff to impress someone.  It's pathetic and fake.  But I believe it's unreasonable to expect people to go around telling the truth about everything all the time.  "Yes your butt is huge"  "Yes I think you're a dumbass"  You've watched Liar Liar with Jim Carey right?  Thats what it would be like to not be able to lie.

Answer 15

I can't stand people who exaggerate or add untrue parts to their story to make it more interesting.  Especially if they do it ALL the time.  I've known a few people like that.

Answer 16

i hate it when people lie one of my friends well my old friend lied every word that came out of her mouth was so annoying and she makes everyone hate me after we get in fights

Answer 17

Yes i hate in when people lie as well its like they're taking you for a goon or something kmt! The trait i hate the most from lying is the exaggerations (like is it really necessary to make the lie that your telling even worse by telling more lies to turn it into an even BIGGER lie?). But then again no one is human if they never lie are they?? I value decent honesty nothing more nothing less. i also feel theres no need to lie unless necessary for example if ur holding a surprise party or something. =]

Answer 18

I agree that it is very irritating when people lie on even the simplest things. I have an immense amount of respect for very sincere people. These days meeting such people is like a breath of fresh air.
