People Who Got Caught With Their Hands In The Cookie Jar

Since social media took over all our lives, it's become nearly impossible to get away with a lie. Anything that gets put online is instantly vetted by a community of people who are bound to figure out the truth. It's no longer a matter of if, but when. When are your Facebook friends going to figure out you and Ashley were never dating? How long before your Instagram followers realize your trip to Cancun was photoshopped? Those of you who have been caught up in a lie know what it's like. Those who don't can live vicariously through the cheatings husbands and cold-hearted criminals on this list.

When He Offers To Clean The House

This lady's husband said he'd do her a favor by cleaning up the house while she was away for the weekend. When she returned, the house was clean. As it turns out, he used a cleaning service and would have gotten away with it had he simply removed Merry Maids sticker from the toilet paper roll.

I've never heard of a state-issued cellphone before so this is definitely a first. Also, you gotta respect this man's hustle. Even after being outed by one of his Facebook friends, he keeps plugging that supposedly free phone. Talk about ambition. This kid is going places.

This is what they call being caught with your hand in the cookie jar, or more simply put, caught red-handed. At this point, if you're this guy, you're pretty much screwed. I see no way out other than running for your life and playing it off as if it wasn't you who she saw in line at the club. At least he wasn't caught cheating like the guy further down on this list.

If music pumping he's talking about is the theme music from Modern Family and by other girls, he means his dog Stella, then yeah, he's definitely been getting the VIP treatment since he plopped his butt on the living room couch. Still, this doesn't sound like a completely awful night to me.

Who actually reads these things anyway? Companies are very aware people don't read the licensing agreements, that's why they bury all the consequential details somewhere in the middle. I'd say 2.3 seconds is longer than the average person would give to one of these things. I bet I could do it in under 2.

Cheating is never okay, but sometimes it's funny, especially in a scenario like this one where the wife sets out to embarrass her unfaithful husband. I think it's safe for us to laugh. I beginning to sense that men who lie to their wives are becoming a theme. There's another example of it later on.

if their wives didn't actually know that they were at the game and were instead under the impression that they were both at work then this was an incredibly stupid thing to do. If they did know, then these signs were a very clever way of getting some screen time at the match. Speaking of clever people, a few slides down the list you can find a mother who cleverly exposed her son's lie.

How are you going to get out of this one? You've told your mother several times when questioned about your red eyes and sluggish speech that you were simply "tired" from a long day at school. Now she has evidence and you're fresh out of excuses. You plead ignorance by telling her that you have no clue how it got there. You could blame it on a friend. Or, you could tell the truth. That's a piece of advice everyone on this list should consider, especially the Facebook user who thinks she's going to marry her high school boyfriend.

Ashley tried to pull a fast one on us. She would have succeeded were it not for the fact that her store hadn't even been built yet. Unless Ashley is selling merchandise from the back of a van around the corner I'm officially calling fiction on this. You spread nothing but lies, Ashley.

I think doubtful is putting it lightly. This statement flat out wrong. Great, you love Jacob. But that doesn't mean you have to make up false statistics to profess said love. The truth is only 2 percent of people marry their high school sweetheart. About 17 percent of those people never attend a post-secondary institution. This is all beginning to make sense now. This isn't even the most blatant lie on the list. That honor goes to the person just a few slides later.

I feel like cops do stuff like this all the time. I remember one time my Korean friend was trying to get into a bar using a white friend's ID. He was turned away at the door by the bouncer. That's when a policeman standing nearby asked if he could see the idea. We all thought our buddy was about to be in trouble, but the cop laughed and asked if he could take the driver's license over to the squad car so he could show his partner, which he did, before giving it back.

If I had to guess I'd say the company that is advertising this computer-assisted language learning software doesn't offer a money back guarantee. There's no way anyone can learn Spanish fluently in three weeks. I took the language in high school for an entire semester and can hardly string a sentence together. The bearded man's face says it all.

So that means, no one ever. If what this fortune is saying is true then the United States is populated by exactly zero real patriots – unless we're counting the sick puppy who wrote this fortune in the first place because that would make one.

Sounds Like An Oxymoron

Something doesn't quite add up here. Aren't antiques supposed to be objects or furniture from a different century? In recent years, the term antique has been thrown around more loosely. For instance, pieces of furniture that have been built with similar design and craftsmanship to those of a past century have been called antiques as well. So maybe that's what this is referring to. Still seems kind of ridiculous.

You have the advantage of being the teacher so you could probably do more damage with the knowledge that your student skipped class than vice versa, and they know that, which is why you silently agree to both pretend you never saw the other person.
