Lies of omission

  • I’ve run 18 marathons
  • (But I haven’t done a sub 3 hour marathon. I haven’t run Boston. I’m actually a mediocre runner relative to the amount of runs I’ve done)
  • I was homeless for a week
  • (But I did have a camera crew following me around filming me)
  • Tattoo pain is ok
  • I’m happy!
  • (I have at least 3–5 ‘wtf am I doing moments’ weekly)

Lies to deceive

  • Yes I’ve done an ultramarathon recently
  • Before I did a 115km event. I hadn’t. I lied on the form
  • ‘Someone stole my mobile phone’
  • Away on military training. I lost it. I just didn’t want to get punished
  • ‘No I’ve not used Tinder much’
  • There I am on Tinder Plus swiping away

Lies to protect

  • I’ve got no injuries
  • I had a fractured toe. Going ‘toe-to’toe’ for my first Muay Thai fight
  • Sure I got into Deloitte. My maths is perfect
  • Looking over my accountants numbers. Not having a clue wtf they mean
