What do you do if somebody lies to you point-blank about something trivial?

People
lie
and lie
and lie.

It makes no difference if it is something 'trivial' or not!
They don't want to have to admit the truth, or
get caught out, or look stupid ......or........100
other reasons.

A Lie is a Lie.

I have it happen to me by certain people I know, every now and then.

What I do.

Thank the dear Lord, I am not LIKE THEM!!

It is a 'delusion' that they use.....

We can not change people.
They need to wake up, and grow up.

It's usually him and I usually scream. I hate lies and trivial, pointless lies are just that - pointless!

I suppose it would depend on who it was and what it was they were lying about. It would also depend on how important what they were lying about was to me. Did so and so call in while I was out? " No". I might know they did because they texted me and told me. Lying whether trivial or not makes me angry. Why does the other person feel the need to hurt me but betraying my trust. They obviously feel that protecting themselves is more important than being TRUTHFUL to me. My husband and I and my kids are very honest and they don't lie to me. So, it would be people I don't know well who do this to me. I make sure that I let them know that they are lying to me and that I don't appreciate that or them for doing it.

I don't care whether it's trivial or not, I wait until there's an opportunity to come back at them, in the most embarrassing way possible to them.

It may take time, but I DO remember, & am a patient person.

I absolutely abhor liers'. And there's plenty of them around.
They're gutless, sneaky, you don't know where you 'stand' with them, & quite possibly thieves' as well.
