I will back up Bob 100% on his "everyone lies" statement. I work with the public for an airline.
I run across people that "lie" almost everyday. Here's any example: When all our regular priced
seats are gone--people are put on the "I need a seat list" and we give out the seats that are left
over upstaires at boarding--usually about the time we start to board so we can offer to sell those
seats as long as possible. The other day a genteman came up to me and didn't have a seat so
I explained the whole procedure to him (he didn't travel much) and ended by telling him we'd make
an announcement at boarding for those that didn't have seats. He left and headed to the gate. So
did I by another route. Once up there--he approached me and told me that "the girl downstaires said
I should ask and I could get a seat". I told him that I was that girl downstaires and that he'd have to
wait and we'd call him up--just like I told him previously. He kept looking at me--to bad he didn't have
a better memory for faces! I've also had this happen numerous times with size of carry-on, payment of
baggage fees etc.-"-well, they didn't charge me for my bags coming here" me: "Ahhhh, yes they did I see the
charge in your reservation" them: "OH!" It happens sooooo much that I kinda feel like law enforcement on those
"Cops" shows -- where it seems like they catch 99% of the folks they stop in lies! And it also got to be
a constant point of "discussion" between myself and another guy I worked with that seemed to always
want to give people the "benefit of the doubt" . . . . and when an incident would come up--say about 1 time
per week with him--of course, we'd catch the pax in a lie but "oh, no! people don't lie!"
Now don't get me wrong--sometimes things are just as folks tell me--I do listen and there's also times that
I have to tell the pax that I wasn't there/originally so I don't know what was said but we go from our point of contact.
But, I've learned --the hard way--people lie. I'm not even sure they realize they are doing it. . . .

A long time ago, in an Internet conversation, I said that everyone
lies. The person with whom I was having the conversation was so
offended that he said he was sorry that duels were out of fashion.
Partly spurred on by the impending anniversary, I've been reading some
books by Vince Bugliosi, who agrees with me that the greatest liar is
the one who says he never lies. Deception is an inherent aspect of
competition.
