Hey Pandas, What Is One Lie That You Told And Never Came Clean About? (Closed)

When my son was applying to colleges I did not want him going to one school. A bunch of his friends were applying there and I knew it would not be a good thing for him to be around them in a college setting. Plus the school did not have a good rating. I made sure his application was never sent. He was bummed about it at the time since he was accepted at every school he applied to. Now he looks back and says it was probably one of the best things that happened. Many of his friends dropped out or were kicked out during the first semester. A lot of illegal substance abuse.

As a 12 yo kid I overheard my mother telling one of her friends that she would sign me up for sports at the YMCA (basketball in this case which I despise) then not go to games so she could have free time. Need less to say I never went to one practice or game, it became MY free time as well! I never told her or anyone until I was over 40 years old!

This was in the 90s. I was living in a different country as a student, and as you do, I would call my mom back home via an overseas call from a payphone (that's a public phone that you put coins in to make a call, for all you kids).

Overseas calls were not cheap so I would only maybe talk for about 3-4 mins tops. Until one day I started calling more frequently and for longer periods of time. My mom noticed and would ask how am I affording all these calls?! I told her I got a job and not to worry about it, I'm just happy that I can talk to her.

The reality was I had figured out a way to hack the public payphones so that I could make calls literally anywhere, domestic or international for free. I was scared of course of being caught when I did that so I never used the same payphone more than twice. Man that was ages ago! Had not thought about this for decades. I might actually tell my mom the next time I see her. I think she would enjoy the story.

When I was like 8 or 9, I told a kid I met in my neighborhood that my name was Bob. It was not. He never found out even after a year of us living near each other and playing together.

In high school, I once put my boots on the opposite feet after gym class. When other students noticed and started pointing (you know how kids are), I simply explained that I had been born with a deformity. During Technical Drawing class, due to all the attention I was getting, the teacher came over, rolled up his shirt sleeve, and said, "I can also charge admission." The hair on his right arm was pure white, and the hair on his left arm was all black. I changed my boots back, and never said a word about it until now.

I'm fine.
I have never hurt myself.
Both are lies

That I tripped on the cat and hurt my hand. The truth was my mother was beating me and felt so guilty about it that I lied.
I shouldn't have lied. Her abuse ruined my entire life.

When I was in 8th grade, we had handball practice after school. We used to change to sportswear from school uniform in the washroom (we don't have lockers/locker room). Those were the times when we had a practice of locking the washroom door from the outside (it was supposed to be a harmless prank...). I did that while my classmate was changing and totally forgot about that. Poor girl was slamming the door for over an hour and since it's after school no one heard her until the cleaner came to lock the washroom. I never told it was me. There was after-school rush in the washroom and no one knew it was me. I felt really bad and wondered how traumatic it would be.....

Those assignments that "deleted themselves"? Yeah, I didn't actually do them. Kinda surprised anyone believed that tbh but in my defense I was 12.

I managed to convince my 2 little brothers with 3 siblings of mine (we are 6 kids) that you had to get training and papers to be an uncle, you had to exercise with crying babies for months and pass tests and stuff in order to get your certificate (we called it "carné de tío") or you would never become a true uncle. We never came clean but they eventually figured it was a bluff.

I cheated on a test once and my friend snitched on me and I played innocent and got away with it…I really did cheat on it though and I’ve never cheated again cuz I felt so guilty 😭

It was estimated that 400 thousand people attended Woodstock in 1969. I am among the millions who claimed to be there but never came clean about it

Uh, no sir, that's not "Bored Panda" I have open on my desktop...it's uh, a research study on human response studies (kinda true)...

Not my lie. When I was 8 yo my oldest sister told my mother I was the one to flush the kotex down the toilet and my middle sister backed her up (she did it). We had to call a plumber. My mother is giving me a talking to and I'm crying telling her I don't even know what a kotex is and then confessed to cutting daddy's Brylcreem tube in half because it sounded springy sproingy when I hit it.

Told my parents, that I travel to a city in my country, but I booked a short trip to London instead. Best time of my life and a secret till today. ;)

100's of them. I was a compulsive liar before I was diagnosed.

But the one I can't come clean about...

That I exactly where my friend's wife and child are, and why they left.

“I’m fine.”

“I love you mom.” (She’s not the nicest person…)

That i -didn't- hear his last words.

told my parents the reason i was in a ditch in their car was because a deer ran out in front of me. i actually fell asleep while driving. never told them. this was around 1971
