What's the worst lie you've ever told?

[candidrachel]

This doesn't have to be photography related.

I'll start.

When my hubby and I decided to get married (he's a non believer like Max Harvard ) I said either we get married in church or there's no wedding so I got my way with that.

Next we had to visit the church to book the date. The priest asked if we are both baptised. I know I am because I have seen photos of me as a baby wearing a frilly dress with water sprinkled on my head and hubby said yeah definately!

I asked what would happen if either of us wasn't baptised and the priest said that the non-baptised person would have to attend bible reading classes something that I know my hubby would never attend!

Fast forward to his grandmothers 80th birthday and somehow the subject of conversation went on to being Christened and his mum turned to hubby and said "OH but you were never Christened it was something we never got round to getting done". We were a bit oh well to late now...

It gets worse......

A fire broke out at the church so all the computer records got destroyed so we or rather I had to go back and re-book the date and the priest once again asked if we were both baptised and I lied and said yes. It was so much easier to lie than tell the truth in that moment.

In the actual ceremony I was dreading the moment when the priest addresses the congregation and says "Does anyone know of any lawful impediment why this man and woman cannot marry?" and someone at the back standing up and declaring "Yeah he aint baptised!!" Not that being baptised is not lawful but still fancy telling lies to a priest!

What are your "confessions" or "lies"??

Just saying you don't

hehe - this thread does not seem to be going very far. Nobody seems to be keen on 'fessing up

I think my biggest lie was waiting 5 months before I told anyone I was pregnant.

I'll play along...

The worst lie I ever told was going back to when I was 19. My dad had just gotten his car repainted after my step mother got it all scratched. She drove me to the garage and I was going to drive the car back home.

Now, in our old car park there were the big colums... now, I've parked by that colum so many time that I sorta became less attentive to it. So as I pulled the car into the spot I hit the side. Oops.

At the time, were were a few days away from me moving to Holland to go to Uni (we lived in Thailand at the time). Now, it was already a rather touchy and emotional time so I thought best to not bring it up. Hey, maybe no one would notice right?

Now... fast forward a few weeks in time.

My parents just left me in Holland and they were back home. One the calls my dad asks me if I had happened to hit the car. (let me just add that I had just gotten in trouble for nearly ruining the car engine before the paint job)

So... I lied. I said that I had nothing to do with it, wondered why they were blaming me when I was far away.

Now what has eaten my guilt for years... I blamed it on someone else. Of course no one believed me and its been left as an unspoken incident for years to come.

Ha! Not something to lie about for long lol!

And as for scratching and denting cars in the long run is so much easier to 'fess up straight away - believe me!! Having said that some idiot scratched my car in a car park recently and for once I was not responsible! Don't know if hubby believed me or not.

Hahaha, true... I have learned that lesson.

karma did manage to get me back... 2 years ago I left my car parked at a lot and someone hit it, ruined the back bumper and I never found out who it was.

I think it was someone at my work - grr. The other day my colleague was looking out the window and she said that "they" are all taking the piss out of my parking. Granted I'm not the best driver but I was really busy - too busy to check what they were laughing at and so gave it a big "whatever!!". A couple of days later my hubby said "What have YOU hit because it all scratched at the front on the side - blue paint". I was honestly it was not me! I explained about the laughng and I reckon someone hit me and they all fell about laughing like shhhh don't tell

Its the Easter holidays (I work in a school) so when I go back I shall check all the blue cars for damage (hubby said check the cctv lol).

Grrr!

Good luck! I hope you find who did it!

Even though I was at a parking lot with cameras they didn't find anything. The only reason why anyone believed me was that I was with someone at the time so they were "witness" that I actually didn't do it.

Cannot really say that for all the other little bumps my car has.
