Who Are You Again?
We’ve all been there: someone waves in your general direction, and you mistakenly believe they’re waving at you, so you return the wave. When you realize they weren’t waving at you at all, it’s awkward. This scenario is a little different in that there is some waving, but it was done on purpose.
Who Are You Again
Even though they had not met, these two had waved at each other for two years. Even though they were strangers, they continued to do it regularly, and they didn’t reveal that they were both perplexed until much later.
A Worthy Sacrifice
This story is a little sad, but it proves our point about how small lies can have a long-term effect. Because she didn’t think it would matter, this nurse told a patient that she liked black coffee despite her dislike for it. However, as their friendship grew, she found herself drinking black coffee every day.
A Worthy Sacrifice
She would not have ended up in this precarious situation if she had simply been honest about her coffee preferences. But, in the end, her coffee misery was almost certainly worth the friendship that resulted.
