1.I've Only Slept With 3 People
Sleeping with three people seems to be the magical number, and lie, that a lot of women tell a new man that they've just met. It's usually their first love, the recent ex-boyfriend and you. This makes them appear less slutty, but not inexperienced. Men buy it because they want to believe they are blazing a trail in uncharted land, or least the path less traveled.
2.Size Doesn't Matter
Whoever said size doesn't matter was small. That's all there is too it. Size matters in many things, but we don't want to offend anyone. However, when someone does tell you that size doesn't matter, rest assured it does matter to them, and they think you're smaller than an acceptable size.
3.Let's Keep In Touch
When someone says "let's keep in touch," they often mean via social networking, but not in real life. With FaceBook, Google Plus, Twitter, Pinterest, and many others, we can spy on other people's lives without actually having to talk to them. Most times, "let's keep in touch," is the kiss of death of any real, in person, relationship.
4.I Wasn't Checking Him, Or Her, Out
Sometimes we can't help but check out a good looking person as they walk by, or as we walk by. It's perfectly fine if you're alone, or your significant other doesn't see you do it, but what happens when they see your wandering eye? We just tell them we weren't checking out the other person.
5.Misplaced My Phone
We all expect our friends and family to be available to us 24/7, or at least 16/7, we'll give them a break if they're sleeping. However, sometimes we just don't want to be bothered answering a call. How do we get out of it? We misplaced our phone, of course.
6.There Was Really Bad Traffic
Traffic is another good excuse, that is if it's really true, but many of use that lie if we are late to pick someone up or meet someone. With traffic being unpredictable it's a believable lie, unless you make it a habit. Employers don't usually fall for it since you are supposed to be better at managing your time.
7.My Phone died
This is a great excuse, and lie, that almost everyone has told at one point or another. Now that we have our phones on us constantly it's hard to say why you didn't answer, or at least call back within a reasonable amount of time. Saying your phone died involves no further explanation.

8.This Is Delicious
If someone goes through the trouble of cooking for you, it's hard to tell them that you don't like it. Instead you try to get it down as quickly as possibly, or maybe even spit it out in a napkin, all the while telling them it's delicious. It's like the mutton episode of Seinfeld, when Jerry spit the mutton out in a napkin and hid it in his jacket pockets.
9.I Love It
It's not nice to admit that you don't like a present that someone just gave you. Instead we act appreciative and say that we love it, and then take it back to the store the next day. When someone really does tell you what they think of your present you get upset, like as if you were the one who designed it.

10.It's Really Good To See You
Sometimes we are not all that glad to see someone. Can we say so? No. We have to feign excitement in order to not insult them. We feel bad if someone knew our true feelings about seeing them, but maybe if we were more truthful we wouldn't have to endure seeing them again.
11.You Look Great In That Outfit
We do it mainly not to hurt people's feelings. Even when they ask for our honest opinion we don't want to make them feel bad by telling them how awful their outfit really is. Instead we praise the outfit, telling them they look great. It's a little white lie, but sometimes the truth can top them from making a fool of themselves in public.

12.I'm On My Way
How many times have you done this very thing. You're late to meet someone, but you don't want to admit it. You say you're on your way to avoid them being mad at you. But what happens when it takes way longer to get there because you haven't even left the house yet?
