Guys, Lies and the Element of Suprise.

I hate being lied to, I absolutely cannot stand it. What makes being lied to worse, is when you're lied to by someone you trust and don't ever expect to lie to you.

As I've said before I rarely share stories with real names or situations so not to 'bash' anyone via internet so I've written a little fictional story that explains how I feel right now.

Imagine you call up a friend and ask them to see a movie with you. You really want to see this movie with them and have been thinking about it for a while. They say that it is a stupid movie and would rather not go. Sure you're not very happy but its no big deal. The next day you find out that that friend went right after you called with another person to see that very movie they deemed stupid.

(now remember, I'm going to keep speaking about this situation as though it were the movie metaphor but thats not really the case. The real story is on a larger scale than some silly movie)

First off, is that really worth lying about? I'm not crazy, I'm not going to blow up at you if you had simply said that you wanted to go to the movie with someone else. You know we spend lots of time with all these people, I was going to find out sooner or later, it was honestly not a smart move on your part.

The part of this situation that really confuses me is that the friend who called the movie stupid isn't someone I'd expect this out of. There are the jerks you know that you just expect them to pull things like this, and you think nothing of. When someone who is usually thought to be trustworthy, a good friend and a person of integrity does something like this, the element of suprise hurts just as much as the lie itself. Ah, its just frustrating...
