Cheating cheaty cheats
I'm rubbish at cheating. I was asked to help run a stall at a local fair. We sold squares on a treasure map for 10p a go, with the one closest to the "hidden treasure" winning stuff.
I told my sister where it was. I'd not really thought through how obvious this would be. I've kind of avoided cheating since, what have you cheated at? Confess all, it'll make you feel better.

I've often pretended
to have some sort of long-standing girlfriend, so I could rent nice houses decreed by God to be inhabited by "professional couples" only. Invariably, thenon-existence absence of said girlfriend at the viewing could be explained by her being away on business, and her complete absence when it came to moving in could be explained by her having had an affair with a similarly imaginary random bloke all along. My not inconsiderable skill at lying coupled with having scrupulous landlords has paid off quite nicely so far.
The only disadvantage to this technique (apart from having to pay twice the rent and it being completely unconvincing in my case) is that if you do it repeatedly, you'll be screwed if the landlords' union get their hands on you; it's also highly illegal to impersonate other people on a contract (even if they're fictitious), so if I get caught, you ain't seen me - right?
