Strangers lie to each other three times within the first 10 minutes of meeting, on average.

College students lie to their mothers in one-fifth of all interactions.

This is the OT. We are the exception. No lies are told here, am I right?

If I catch someone lying, I usually punch them in the face and frick their wife.

Why wouldn't you include the lies within your post?

Touching their nose or mouth is a tel tale sign that they are lying or saying something without confidence

Have you ever met someone who has told a lie so many times that even they believe it's true?

My Fianceé's old roommate is a compulsive liar. She's the only compulsive liar I've ever met and caught, and it was honestly fascinating the webs she would spin. Really not sure how she kept up with some things, but I'd always lay traps and get her in a frenzy. Good times watching her get so worked up and try and get out of a hole.

Yep. My ex-mother in law. Dumbass told so many lies that it was easy to trap her. So easy. And she'd get all worked up, too.

Damn I enjoyed doing that.

If someone is lying, and you know they are lying, can you shoot them?

Serious question.

There are some people that I either know or that occasional stranger I talk to at a bar or something that seems to lie every time they open their mouth. It's especially annoying when they say something, like a little factoid or some other statement that I know for certain is untrue, and then the rest of the discussion I am just nodding saying "uh huh" without even listening.

1 - If their OT screen name begins with or contains "Ow" you can be pretty sure they are lying.

People who would rather go out of their way to tell a lie rather than just simply tell the truth when the truth is no big deal anyway are truly fricked in the head.
And I see that a lot.

10. Contempt
Married men know all about these 2.

Go ahead and add breaking eye contact, especially when the person looks up and to the left, and a rise in vocal pitch, especially when answering one of your follow up questions.

There are many more. OP only scratches the surface.
