No Reservations.

Many say “Lying is like wearing makeup, people do it to look good.” – Unknown. Well lying doesn’t make a lot of people look good especially when there’s no good reason for doing it. I have this friend who’s a habitual liar. The funny thing is that I’ve known her for more than four years now. I mean at first it was funny because she would make funny wishful thinking comments that she would laugh along with our closest friends.

For example, she would tell us a story about her hanging with Beyonce & Jay Z; she always creates a story about chilling with them. ( Her stories were so vivid that you would have thought she was living with them, it was a hilarious, simple,  funny joke that was highly unlikely to have happened dealing with this particular friend of mines. The 1^st time she ever said that it was funny until (doom, doom, doom... my dooms day sound effect LOL).

Somehow it became a tradition for her to talk about her “activities” with B&J and artists who were upcoming. Her stories were growing with her nuisance behavior that we actually asked her to be serious. Every time we asked her to be serious about something, it seems as if she never heard of the word serious or honest.  

I would have thought that by now she’d given up her pathetic habit of lying to someone who is supposedly her friend. As well as a friend that knows her well enough for her to be herself. Nonetheless, I was starting to think that she doesn’t even know herself. I started to think that this was the only side of her that I knew and will only know.

For example, last year a few days before her birthday, she wanted to go to this nice moderate Asian restaurant for her birthday. (We were speaking over the phone) she says “Oh, my gosh I know too many people, this is going to be a big dinner” (-_-) I said, “ Did you make reservations” she says “ Yes, I made it for fifteen people, I put a DOWN PAYMENT on the seats and everything” me, “ down payment? Just to eat at their restaurant?”, she said "Yes", (we hung up the phone). She calls me back  saying she sent out a massive text to everyone saying that she wants to go out to eat for her bday, but NO ONE responded back to her. (I mean she has friends, don’t think she doesn’t)

She said she doesn’t know if she’s going to eat at that restaurant again, I said, “Well then get back your money (LOL) she says, “No forget it I’m just going to go to the hotel party with my friends from school” (You see, I’m genuinely a concerned person if any of my friends need help planning something for their birthday. I told her the less people the less confusing the CHECK would be at the end of the dinner) I told her to give me the number of the restaurant, she says, “No just forget it, I know who my real friends are hmm, don’t want to hit me back up for my bday”.

I told her to give me the name of the restaurant she said “I forgot what it started with,” (but she gave me the address, so I said I’ll call you later. I had to go on my CSI type sh*t smh). I typed in the area of the restaurant called and asked the lady if she had reservations for my friend (I won’t disclose her name, but I said her name) she said, “No we don’t take reservations or down payments?

I hung up and called her closest friends asking them why they didn't reply to her message? (I know majority of her friends because we have the same circle). They all said they never received a text message and they asked her what she was doing for her bday days before I called them and she never responded to any of their text messages.  

AS OF TODAY I BARELY SPEAK TO HER AND NEITHER DOES A FEW OF OUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WHO WERE CLOSE TO HER. YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME.  SHE WON HER CAUGHT OUT THERE MOMENT & SHE LOST MANY FRIENDS (FOR ONE, I WAS OVER THE LIES.
