The top 10 things Brits lie about the most revealed including salary and sporting ability
A THIRD of Brits have admitted to lying about their personal life - by exaggerating their salary - sporting ability - and knowledge of current affairs. A study, of 2,000 adults, found 59 per cent of these have done so at a dinner party, while 38 per cent have exaggerated funny stories for full comic effect - with 66 per cent most likely to embellish to their friends and 44 per cent to colleagues. 3 And childhood tales aren't safe from a little creative rewriting at the table (27 per cent), according to the poll - with 13 per cent even inflating the facts to their in-laws. But the deception doesn't end at small talk - when it comes to hosting themselves, the study also found 14 per cent of all respondents would lie about how they prepared food. Additionally, 24 per cent of hosts have served food cooked in an air fryer but present it to others as having been cooked via another method. The research was commissioned by Bosch, which has teamed up with TV duo Harry Clark and Mollie Pearce, to help quash myths around the quality of air fryer food following the release of its new air fryer. The two reality stars invited sceptical members of the public into their studio kitchen to try two identical-looking dishes: one cooked traditionally, and one using the air fryer. Harry Clark said: 'It's funny to see how many people will lie at the dinner table to make themselves look good. 'But it's not just embellishing their tales to others –-clearly, some people feel the need to be a little deceptive when it comes to how they're preparing their food. 'I've got a decent nose for spotting when something's not quite what it seems - and food's no exception. 'When we watched people try to guess which dish was cooked in the air fryer, it was hilarious as most of them got it wrong." It also emerged 28 per cent of those who fib have been caught out telling a lie - with friends most likely to be the ones playing Sherlock (42 per cent). Britain's biggest train 'icks' are revealed in new study Despite bending the truth, 24 per cent worry others will find out the reality if they inflate their stories too much. However, when attending a dinner party, 19 per cent would be willing to lie and tell the host they enjoyed the food, even if they didn't. Just under half (45 per cent) of Brits don't trust their air fryer to cook their food as much as traditional cooking methods. However, 37 per cent have proudly shown off something made in an air fryer to their dinner party guests. A Bosch spokesperson said: 'When it comes to new cooking tech, people are divided - some are devoted fans of the air fryer, while others just don't trust it yet. 'That's why we created Air Fryer or Air Liar - to prove you don't need to fake it.' 3

EXCLUSIVE I lied about everything on my resume and put fake companies as references... and it got me a six-figure job
A man who never even graduated college has claimed he got a six-figure senior position by lying about everything on his resume and putting made-up companies as references. Noah Reedyson, 21, from New York, explained exclusively to the Daily Mail that he decided to fib on his resume out of 'desperation.' He said living in Manhattan is 'expensive,' and he was struggling to 'make ends meet' while working a 'normal job.' He set out to find a higher-paying gig but knew he wouldn't get hired with his real experience... So he made stuff up. 'Besides my name and address, I lied about everything [on my resume],' he confessed. 'I would make up fake names of companies I worked for and I [said] I have a college degree which I don't.' Noah explained that when he'd apply for a job, he would watch 'YouTube day in the life videos' of people who worked that job so he could 'learn the right buzzwords to say' during the interview. 'I just said everything with enough confidence that they believed me. I just treat it like a game,' he continued. 'The biggest lies [I've said during interviews] is that I am an NCAA champion and that I played saxophone for Shania Twain. Nobody ever questioned it.' He insisted that he 'never felt worried about getting caught' because he has nothing to lose. And once he started lying, he loved the feeling it gave him. 'Once I started lying I found that I really liked the way it made me feel.' admitted the 21-year-old. 'Like I had some type of power over my own life. 'I was never worried about getting caught. What are they gonna do? Fire me from a job I don't have? 'To quote Marcus Aurelius - "What are you afraid of losing when nothing in this world belongs to you?"' Noah recently went viral on TikTok after he posted a video confessing to his lies and urging others to do the same. He explained in the clip, which was viewed over 55,000 times, 'I've been job searching lately and I'll be honest it's going pretty well because not one word on my resume is true. 'It's literally all f**king made up. You would not believe the insane lies and I'm killing these interviews. 'I Googled a few terms and I just throw them out there. [During one interview] I was like, "I exceeded OTEs [on-target expectations] by 25 percent, retaining customer growth." And they were very impressed. '[During another] I said I worked as a sales representative at Prime Seven real estate. One guy took one look at my resume and he goes, "Prime Seven is a really good company." 'I made it up. It's not even real, that's how stupid these people are.' Noah revealed to the Daily Mail that he was recently hired as a senior director at a mid market company, where he now earns $150,000 a year. But he admitted that he 'struggles' at work because he has no real prior experience. 'Yeah I struggle with all of it right now but every job you [get you have to] learn how to perform [and it takes] a few months,' he said. 'I would feel unqualified if the current job market rewarded actual skill.' In the end, he said he's going with the flow and has no regrets - and he's just happy to be earning a high salary. 'I mean how many jobs have you worked with complete idiots and wondered how they got that job? I'm just one of them,' he joked.
