Lies that turned out to be true.

[Xyphon]

So, I was just thinking upon my school years and how many times I lied about an ailment to get out early. One instance caught my minds eye because not only did the lie turn out to be true, the lie most likely saved my life.

One month during my first 6th grade year (Yeah, I failed 6th grade. Shaddap ;-, I decided to lie about not being able to breath on 3 occasions. After the 3rd time, my parents took me to the doctor whom proceeded to take a chest X-Ray and found a lot of crap in my lungs. The next day, I took a Pulmonary test (I believe that's what it was called) and was diagnosed with severe asthma and given an inhaler and nebulizer.

Not one week later I had a severe asthma attack. The only person home besides me at the time was my sister. She called 9-1-1, but all of the ambulances were already enroute to another location. I told her I had a nebulizer. She got it ready, I started it up and 15 minutes later I could breath normally again.

Now, if I hadn't lied and gotten my nebulizer, I most likely would have died from that asthma attack since emergency transportation was not available. To this day, I can't decide whether it was luck or if it was karma biting a big chunk out of my ass.

So, have you experienced a lie that turned out to be true?

...Whoa. That's just...whoa.

I've lied about things in the past, but that mostly just led to teachers seeing through them or to me getting chocolate.
Not saving my freaking life.

I want your luck Xyphon.

When I was younger I would tell myself I'd get a girlfriend (I have the face of a badly beaten horses arse and the personality of what comes out of it), I never actually thought I would but apparently someone out there likes people with the face of a badly beaten horses arse.

You want my luck with living and I want your luck with relationships. xD

Thats pretty amazing. I remember once when I was younger, concucting a foul smelling liquid out of household chemicals and claiming that I had vomited it. My parents did not believe me, sent me to school and I broke my foot.

So... not really a lie which became true, but perhaps a subconcious, psychic attempt at self-defense?

Last year we had to write and autobiography on our selfs. In mine, at one point I had said I'd never broken a bone and my teacher said that was too borring and told me to spice it up by saying I had acturally broken something. I went for my left leg and I somehow broke it when I fell off my bike. Later that day at school I managed to brake my left leg, (a fat kid fell on it but I'm not going into that). While in work it was a clean brake, in real life I broke off the end of my tibia and that end when into my ankle joint. I needed three pins my index finger size and 8 weeks of my leg in cast. If that wasn't bad enough I was on cruches throughout one of Britain's coldest, snowest winters. Trust me, cruching on ice is NOT fun.

For the record: I fucking hate Karma.

Ha, apparently.

But really, wow. Maybe it's fate? Buuut I guess it could just be luck.

Personally, I haven't lied about anything that ever turned out true. I've bent the truth, or have been able to convince people that a lie was true (I know, for shame!).

"I hate you"

In a joking way to a now ex-girlfriend.

I hate to break it to you but if it can't be a lie if it's true.
Perhaps 'Statements that you presumed were false yet were proven true do to experiences that had not yet occurred.'

It doesn't quite roll of the tongue, does it?

 

[Betancore]

Even if that was karma, it was lucky the way it worked out. Nothing that extreme has ever happened to me, but almost every time I chuck a sickie I end up actually sick, or my mother freaks out due to my very realistically faked symptoms and takes me to the doctor.

I was 16 (or 17) and over at a girls house and I lost track of time so I called my parents and apologized for being late by saying I saw an accident and was caught in the traffic. On my way home I actually hit a kid (he ran out in front of me, hilarious story in the end) and ended up getting home about 2 hours late.

You want my luck with living and I want your luck with relationships. xD

You can't have your cake and eat it too. You either die young and in love or you live really long and die alone.

You can lie if it is the truth. Lie is just the telling of something with the intent to deceive.

Not personal experience, but there were (then false) rumours that Dio was dead circulating the very day he died.

People talked about him being dead... when he died. What a shocker.

Also, like someone said - it's not a lie if it's true.

No, the rumours started before he actually died.

Sorry, cake was the only thing that came to mind.
