Silly lies

I think everyone has these silly lies that they say at times. Very silly actually. Thing is, work on our building expansion is on. It was decided that the electricity supply will be provided by the people of the floor in which the work is currently happening. Now one day the guys from the flat below, said that the point from which they were supplying power was not working and the wire wasn't big enough for another point. So they requested us to give. We thought it was a genuine problem and agreed. Soon we realized that every other day, something is wrong with their board and the workers come to us for power. So we finally refused to give anymore and said that let the work stop, we don't give a damn. Miraculously their board started working :)

That reminded me of these little lies I used to say as a kid. Seriously stupid and at the same time worthless lies. One of my favourite was, "Paani jutha hai. Nahi de sakta" :P Whenever someone asked me for water. I used to carry one of those Milton water bottles to school. I was quite young back then. The second was when I was older. Still in school but maybe class 8 - 9. I used to hate people sitting behind my cycle. My favourite excuse, "Peeche ke tire mein hawa kam hai. Mat baith warna fuut jayega" Heheheheh!! God knows what my problem was.

After growing up I think the best excuse to avoid anything is, "Sorry dude, can't make it. I am a little busy". I think Man started working just so that he could use it as an excuse to avoid going to places he doesn't want to, meeting people he just wants to stay away from and generally avoid anything he dislikes. :) Mobile is a source of EVIL!!! One can create such awesome lies using it :D
1. I am sorry. I can't hear you.
2. I was just about to call you.
3. Sorry my phone was in silent.
4. It was in another room.
5. My outgoing was barred (This used to be one of the best ones)


Disclaimer: I am not saying that these aren't genuine reasons. They are, but seriously don't you think you have used one of the above at least once to wiggle out of calling someone or avoid talking?? I know you did! Come on Don't Lie!
