Lies that went on too longWhen you lie you often have to keep lying. Share your pain. When I was 15 I pretended to be 16 to help get a summer job. Then had to spend a summer with this nice shopkeeper asking me everyday if I was excited about getting my GCSE results. I felt like an utter shit. Thanks to MerseyMal for the suggestion.

It works the other way tooWhen I worked in a call centre I would attempt to relieve the boredom by answering in a randomly selected regional accent and trying to keep it going. More challenging when the customer replied in the genuine accent.

I'd find that easier.I often have to stop myself mirroring the accent of whoever I'm talking to. I learned the hard way that people often think I'm taking the piss, when I'm not even fully aware I'm doing it.

My Dad does this.He's not fully aware of it either, so I have to kick him discreetly under the table whenever we're in an Italian restaurant and he starts ordering by saying "I'm-a gonna have..." in an "It's-a me, Mario!" voice.

A-Haaa!..Brilliant.
Should pay the bill in change, making the coin collecting noise as he drops shrapnel into the waiters hands.
