What would you do?

Someone lies right to your face. You know it's a lie. You have proof. Do you call them out immediately or hint around a little to see if they'll come clean?

    I would call them out and even show proof. That'll stop them from lying in the future, or at least they'll be more careful.

  • i call them out right there WITH the evidence, but i'm kinda subtle/sarcastic about it (a gentle mix of both)

    for example:

    them-"the reason you're safe in a car when lightning strikes it is because of the rubber tires"

    me-"actually that's not it... it's cuz it's a completely enclosed metal cage..."

    them-"no that's not it it's the rubber tires. seriously."

    me-"well i mean i only watched it on discovery channel but whatever you're right..."

    I would hint until they realize that I know and feel humiliated.
