ORIGINAL: MzTlaz The same 'unusual' skills or traits I want in anyone....honor, integrity and an inability to lie. And...yes...I find these highly unusual in people these days. Yes, I know a few people who are so used to lieing they do it without realising they are doing it. Had one friend who couldn't say no to a party invitation. Instead he would come up with elaborate and detailed plans on why he couldn't go. I was standing right behind him when he was doing it on the phone, he claimed he was going out with me on that night, he even came up with a fake play name, author, theatre company, time, where we were going for dinner, the works. The guy on the other end was trying to hang up but he kept elaborating. The thing is 2 minutes later he had forgotten what he said so he started contradicting himself. Then he had to lie to that person to avoid them long enough they would forget to ask how the play was.
