Do you lie to friends?

[brwneydgirl]

Ozme, are you really trying to deceive the client by not admitting to a headache? Or are you simply rehearsing formalities? After all, if you said, "Oh, I have a headache," wouldn't the client simply respond, "I'm sorry to hear it," and then move on to inspect your price list?

And using that logic, if said client responded with, "I'm sorry to hear it..." when what he really meant was, "Oh stop complaining you pain in the ass. No one cares about your headache. My dog just threw-up on my new carpet." then he would be a liar too.

However, by answering in a polite manner, (white lie or not), he just made your meeting a whole lot easier to get through.
