The Lies Never End | Reading Reddit Stories

Hello, and welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shayne, and today the theme is liars. All things lying. And I am joined by someone who can only tell lies and someone who can only tell the truth. But I don't know which one's which. Trevor and Arasha.

**Arasha** (0:19)
Yeah, I don't know why I was even casting this.

**Trevor Evarts** (0:21)
Yeah, I've never lied in my life.

**Arasha** (0:22)
This is ridiculous.

**Trevor Evarts** (0:24)
Oh, maybe it's because we've never lied. So we can offer some unique perspectives. We can now be like as strictly truth tellers.

**Shayne Topp** (0:32)
Okay.

**Arasha** (0:32)
Yeah. You've got honesty over here.

**Shayne Topp** (0:35)
All right. All right.

**Trevor Evarts** (0:36)
All right.

**Shayne Topp** (0:37)
Do you think, okay, we joke a lot about lying here at Smosh, but how good do you think you are at spotting liars or catching people lying?

**Trevor Evarts** (0:48)
I'm really bad. I'm like a very trusting person. I think like I may be to a fault. I just really lean on the side of trusting someone unless they give me a reason not to trust them.
Smosh, and someone here at Smosh has certainly given me reasons not to trust.

**Arasha** (1:04)
Totally, totally. Yeah, Amanda.

**Shayne Topp** (1:07)
Yeah, definitely.

**Arasha** (1:10)
I don't think I'm really great at catching other people's lies. I think when people are telling me the truth, I think they're lying to me. I think I'm like, I don't believe that.

**Shayne Topp** (1:19)
Right, because you thought Amanda was lying about being pregnant.

**Arasha** (1:22)
Yeah. I mean, I'll believe it when I see it.

**Trevor Evarts** (1:25)
Yeah. I just saw her a few days ago. She's not pregnant.

**Arasha** (1:28)
Right. Like, where did it go?

**Trevor Evarts** (1:29)
So what happened?

**Arasha** (1:30)
What happened?

**Shayne Topp** (1:32)
No idea.

**Arasha** (1:32)
Right.

**Shayne Topp** (1:33)
No idea. I don't know how it works. Exactly.

**Arasha** (1:36)
All right.

**Shayne Topp** (1:36)
Well, we're going to read some stories about liars. And we'll gauge who is the best liar by the end. First story comes from Am I the Asshole? Posted about August of 2023 Am I the asshole for lying to my girlfriend's parents about being on a diet so I won't have to eat their cooking?

**Arasha** (1:57)
Right after that, I'm going to say no.

**Shayne Topp** (1:59)
Food lies are tricky.

**Trevor Evarts** (2:01)
Yeah. From the start, it seems harmless. But I feel like with these, there's always like, there's more contact.

**Arasha** (2:07)
There's more.

**Trevor Evarts** (2:07)
More has to happen.

**Shayne Topp** (2:08)
And food lies are tough. I feel like they build. Because we had that guy who lied about having a peanut allergy.

**Arasha** (2:14)
Yes.

**Shayne Topp** (2:14)
And then everyone started accommodating him and it got worse and worse.

**Arasha** (2:19)
Totally.

**Shayne Topp** (2:20)
And he really loved peanut butter.
All right, let's see. My girlfriend's family are animal lovers and have several big dogs with long coats. A couple of cats, birds, and her younger siblings have rat pets. Their entire house is covered in a thin layer of hair. If you sit anywhere in the house, it's guaranteed you'll have animal hair joyriding on your clothes. It's so bad that their food will have animal hair in it. These people will pick the animal hair out of their mouths and keep on chewing like it's the most normal thing in the world. I've seen their cats use the litter box then jump on the counter while their mom is cooking. Sometimes her mom pretends she's on a cooking show and narrates to the cats while the cats are pawing at the ingredients. Also, when I walk into the house, I'm immediately hit with the pungent animal odors. I don't know if it's from the litter boxes or the bird and rat cages, but I've gagged every time I've ever entered their house. Outside of these issues, they are great people. So her parents had a dinner party and were cooking lots of food because they were expecting about 50 people. I knew from past experiences that I can't eat there, so I told my girlfriend I will meet her there instead of driving together because I had some stuff to do at work. I stopped at a restaurant after work and before the party. When I got there, her mom tried to make me a plate, but I told her that I was on a diet and trying to lose weight. My girlfriend overheard and glared silently at me. Her mom tried to get me to eat, and I kept on saying how great her food smells, but I could see hair in it the entire time. When we got back to our place, my girlfriend tore into me as soon as she walked through the door. She said I was being disrespectful to her family by not eating their food and lying about being on a diet. That exploded into her asking what else I am lying about. She wants me to admit to her parents what I did and apologize, but I don't think I should as I did lie, but it was to save their feelings. It's been a week and she's still mad at me and told me she'll remain mad until I apologize. She's angry sleeping on her side with her back to me right now. I never knew there was such a thing as angry sleeping, but I swear her snores are more aggressive than usual.
