2. The Lie: If someone irritates you while on a date you can simply storm out of the restaurant leaving a plate full of untouched food or dessert
3. The Lie: You can go to the Airport last minute and stop a plane from flying off with the love of your life
The Truth: No matter how romantic your intentions are the airport security will have 10 men take you down before you even pass the booking counters.
4. The Lie: Pressing 5 buttons on a Computer should allow you to copy the owner's darkest secrets into a flash drive/USB in less than 10 seconds right?
The truth: No, Steve Jobs would probably laugh at you. Who keeps their secrets in a computer anyways?If and When they do, wouldn't they make sure they don't leave the Computer accessible to anyone? Lets not even get started on Hacking, its a complicated process, you can't just press random characters on your keyboard to hack into SAPS server to delete someone's criminal record using your PC, that is why there are IT people, looking forward to the day i see them on TV for real.
5. The lie: The proposal. Women love spectacularly odd displays of affection. You can stand in front of a restaurant full of customers and declare your undying love for a waitress, Manager or another customer, usually with a good response from the other person. After that, everyone applauds.
The truth: At best she dumps you.
At worst, showing up her doorstep with a collection of grossly inappropriate cue cards lands you with a restraining order.
6. The lie: Your make up is on point, your hair is not messy and your breath doesn't stink in the morning.
The truth: If you sleep with makeup on you wake up looking like a Drag queen, your hair makes you look like a Porcupine and your breath smells like a there is a dead cat in your mouth.
7. The Lie: Anyone can afford to wear a new outfit everyday.
The truth: Characters hardly ever repeat clothes. Television makes it seem like its easy to shop for and afford a new outfit for every single occasion while everyone in real life lives by the "Same outfit, going to a different place-No one will know i wore this yesterday" motto.
8. The lie: Waking up in the morning is easy.
The truth: Although Movies might try to make waking up in the morning look Jolly and Happy, everyone else in real-life goes through 5 stages before coming out of their deep slumber. [Stage 1: Denial-" I still have much time to sleep".
Stage 2: Anger- "Why did i sleep so late anyways?".
Stage 3: Bargaining- "Just 5 more minutes,i'll have to take them out of breakfast time".
Stage 4: Depression- "Now i won't be able to wear my hair nice today, i'm late".
Stage 5: Acceptance-"I'm black/a woman anyways"(Yepp, Black people and women are always late and we try to act like its a cultural expression)
9. The Lie: When you hear a strange noise in the basement, its time to go and check it out.
The truth: No, look for the closest possible exit and run!
10. The Lie: When you are in danger your phone suddenly looses signal
The truth: This is an astounding coincidence. Which means 10 111 is not necessary then, i mean why would we have Police numbers if we can't use them when its necessary?
11. The Lie: Love at first sight is true love
The truth: Love at first sight doesn't always have a good ending, and chances are if a girl finds out you are a vampire, witch or werewolf she is not gonna wanna be with you forever... and if a guy finds out you are a mermaid or death bringer he is not gonna wanna marry you.
12. The lie: The Killer/Ghost suddenly appears behind you when you close your bathroom mirror cabinet.
The truth: This one doesn't even need explaining, its just plain ridiculous!
13. The lie: University is ONLY fun and games
The truth: it only seems to appear in Movies or just American movies. i don't remember partying and playing all the time then acing my exams/assignments during the 4 years in tertiary, i do however remember Having a mental breakdown, getting ulcers, loosing sleep and wanting to go home because of a heavy workload. All work and No play!
14. The lie: All nerds and geeks are beautiful after a makeover
The truth: No, people don't look 9 times hotter after taking off their glasses (why would they even take them off, glasses are quite cute)
15. The lie: No disguise is more effective than slipping into a floral dress and a wig.
The truth: Movies might make it look like once you are dressed as a woman, black people can pass for White people, adult males can pass for teenagers and fathers can trick their children into loving them. In real life if you know what an Adam's apple looks like, spotting a man in a dress shouldn't be too hard
16. The lie: Being caught in the rain is pleasurable. There is nothing like getting soaked to the skin to make you feel 'alive', Whether you are sharing a passionate kiss, performing a song or dance, no pleasure is too intense that it can't be enhanced by a spot of drizzle.
WRONG!
The truth: Rain is miserable, if you get caught in it chances are you won't enjoy it. maybe only the mentally deranged would. jokes.
17. The lie: All Bombs are always equipped with a handy digital clock. its common courtesy!
The truth: Not all bombs are time-bombs, they require manual trigger by the bomber either in person or remotely. Other forms include trigger by heat, movement. Its a bit unrealistic that a terrorist would wait to count down from 60 to bomb a place, most just do it!
18. The lie: You can survive a massive fall from a skyscraper or airplane provided that you land on a water body.
The truth: The law of physics still apply. Unless you are Van Damme, Chuck Norris or Arnold Schwarzenegger, without a parachute you are dead. simple as that.
19. The Lie: Surprising news makes you clumsy. Coincidentally bad news is 76,8% more likely to arrive if you are carrying an expensive piece of glassware.
The truth: Receiving bad news doesn't automatically cause you to drop whatever it is that you are holding.
