Not asking about lies of which harm or cheat others. But do you have a memory of a lie that made the listener accept the request?
For example, when I was in college, I had little fever, but I claimed it as I had 102 degree F fever. And I got the leave sanctioned immediately. The skill here is what if I said 104 F fever? That could be too much and I wouldn't have granted the leave.
Yes I have lied before. When I was younger I convinced my mom that I was sick just so I could miss school. I got to stay home that day.
