25 times people lied just to get what they wanted

Everyone tells little lies now and then. Sometimes it’s just to be polite. Sometimes it’s to avoid conflict.
However, not every lie is little or to protect someone else’s feelings.

Here are 25 people who told lies solely to get exactly what they wanted. You won’t believe some of these.

#1 A big one

Most lies only change things temporarily. This one may have come with some life-long consequences for the person being lied to.

#2 For George Michael

Who wouldn’t want to see George Michael in person? The month of being grounded after was probably worth it.

#3 Moving in

He just wanted to move in with her. Any excuse would do.

Want a drink? Don’t want to pay? All you have to do is lie and not mind a little damage to your ego.

#5 Just to wear the hat

What’s a little lie if you get to dress up like the pope? They definitely had a blast.

#6 A lie for a good reason!

Who wants to date someone who thinks you look like a corpse and finds that attractive? Creepy!!!

#7 Faking those qualifications

It’s hard to get that first job. We hope she at least knew CPR!

#8 On a mission

Well, it was only a half-lie. She did go on a trip. It just wasn’t to where they thought it would be.

#9 Getting to a concert

Concert tickets can be expensive! Also, we wonder what they spent the extra money on.

#10 A leaf of a lie

This is slightly concerning. We hope he could at least identify poison ivy.

#11 So many layers

These are just lies heaped on lies. Where does it all end?

#12 So many holy days

Who hasn’t wanted to skip class sometimes? Now, there’s a made-up holiday for that!

#13 Deceptive dating practices

When nothing else works, use jealously. That’s the key point of this short tale.

#14 All to avoid the dorms

There’s lying, and then there’s next level lying. A real marriage certificate definitely makes this one a next level lie.

#15 Level 5 vegan

College meal plans are expensive, and there seems to be no way to avoid paying for one. Well, that is unless you epically lie.

#16 The icebreaker

Telling a joke probably would have been easier. It would also be easier to explain later on.

#17 Playing innocent

This was a little lie to get someone out of a lot of trouble. At least they had their dog with them.

#18 “Oops, sorry!”

It’s just a little sleight of hand (or sleight of file). Nothing to see here. Time to move along.

#19 Fake it until you make it

What harm could ticking one extra box do? At least they managed to pull it off.

#20 Grabbing that cash

It was probably for a good cause. Still, that was shady.

#21 Not practicing what you preach

This is right up there with a person who says not to drink while holding a bottle of beer. At least they got the paper done.

#22 Getting out of homework

This is a classic. However, it goes above and beyond the “dog ate my homework” line.

#23 Taking advantage of a situation

We only have one question. Did the other students notice?

#24 Procrastinator’s lie

No one actually wants to get every assignment in on time. Here’s one way around it.

#25 Pure manipulation

Playing on emotions is kind of evil, even if it is for a new job. The fact that it was to meet a quota might actually make this worse.
