The first one, I am not sure if you were over reacting or not. I don't blame you for being upset about that one. The second one I think you over reacted, but I can see how it was bad timing because of what had happened in the OP. Being honest is important. Perhaps as someone else said this time you can let both parties know that you are cool with them keeping any part of their lives private, and that you are sure they just didn't want to offend you, and so they lied about it.
I'm still confused. It sounds like you overreacted in the 2nd situation. One of you two should admit to being drunk and settle it.

Ultimately, the whole thing was obviously a bad prank, but not a good one. And it was simply the wrong time to do it. That said, I gave him my say, and no fists were thrown. I know I can be extremely verbally violent, so I'm hoping he figures that part of me out. He's known me seven years, but that was the first time I've let him have it, although he's seen me do it to others. In the end, I just hope he understands that while he may be able to lie to others, I'm not cool with it. Best to simply state you'd rather not say. And don't risk my license on a prank ever again.

Jeez. And I called a girl who wanted me to come over today. Albeit, I was running an hour late, but I get there and she ain't. This is not a good weekend...
I think I need to reread this thread to maybe come up with a few more clues on what the hell is going on.
Don't bother with the girl thing I mentioned in my first post. This has nothing to do with women, at least after my first comment.
OK, I spam texted a few people this eve. First thought, I got a girl that called me, said she thought I was being bitter about Pink. PINK Said she had a call from her mom, and bailed. That took me a millisecond to realize she was a r****d. Second one I spoke to just came back into town, so we're having lunch tomorrow. The only sad part is I don't recall who the f*** she is. So we have Sunday Funday, followed by Unknown Monday. If it weren't for the 9 day weekend, I'd no idea what to do.
I consider my reading comprehension skills to be above average. I don't understand much anything whats going on here, what the points of the scenarios are, what the lies are about... No need to clarify, though I'll still add that I value honesty and trust, and probably from that I'm not an easy guy to play a prank on either.. Cuz I consider them a waste of MY time - giving other people pleasure on my expense and the whole scene generally leads to zero gain, since I'm kind of a point A to point B person who likes my efforts to go toward something... I cant say that you should stop being trusting to them, but definitely do understand why you'd be fuming mad. There's just those times where everyone around you lets you down and disappoints... The question of honesty & how important it is - Doesn't seem to be that important now. I'll keep placing a high value on it. Not even being paranoid about it, just seems emphasis to honesty is lessened and its more about boosting and protecting one's image, even if it means being wishy-washy and fake to a fault.
I'll have to assume Fatty is posting drunk or mad, because he usually makes more sense. Anyway, yes you way over-reacted. Saying you'd rather not disclose information itself discloses a lot of information. Especially if you've asked a direct question, the only option is a lie. Maybe it wouldn't matter to you that a person doesn't want to say where they were, but they'd rather you didn't know and they'd rather you didn't know that they didn't want you to know. Respect their space.
Sorry FB, even after your attempt to clarify the second scenario still isn't clear. What do you mean your friend's friend had friends over? Like, your friend's girlfriend had brought other girls over, and that would make it "worth your while?" to come over? What exactly did this guy lie about?
Secondly, it seems you want to discuss the topic in general, which is cool, but it would be a lot easier to get started if you gave us more background on the first scenario. Why were you asking about their whereabouts? Did they lie to hide something they were doing behind your back? Why did they lie?
