How many lies do you tell?
Are we a nation of liars? Or do we tell our lies because we think they don’t hurt anyone? Sadly, we are too obsessed with how others perceive us and what everyone else thinks if us rather than being happy with who we are so we end up lying our asses off, every chance we get.
Here are some of the most commonly lied about things that Pakistanis never seem to get rid off:
1. Almost every auntie (or uncle) lies about their age
2. People lie about their heights
3. Every child lies about their grades, at least once in their academic lif
4. Your best friend totally lies about their favorite TV shows
We know how they watched Humsafar with they mother every night but pretend they know nothing about it.
5. You definitely lie about the party you voted for in the last election
That is, if your friends are mostly inclined toward parties you didn’t vote for and you intend to keep those friendships.
6. Your brother lies about that girl you think he has a crush on because he knows she is way out of his league
7. One of the most common lies you’ve probably told is where you bought that coat everyone was raving about
we know you borrowed it from your sister and didn’t just buy from “Burberry”.
8. You lie if you actually read that book everyone of your friends is obsessing over
We know you’ve only seen the movies because Hermoine does not look like a super model in the books.
9. You lie to your parents if you were out smoking with your friends
they can smell it on you, you know.
10. The number of rotis you ate at lunch
11. Girls lie to their parents about going to “Ayesha ke ghar” when in reality you’re sneaking off with Ayesha’s brother (behind Ayesha’s back!)
If only society (and parents) weren’t as discriminatory about forcing girls to be stuck in the chaar deewari while letting ” boys be boys”.
12. Everyone lies about internet activity when you want to avoid work or friends
And the biggest lie told by every Pakistani ever:
