New Yorkers are notoriously honest, sincere, cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die folk. Wait, you believed that? Must not be from around here. Seriously though, who can't related to using a little white lie to impress a stranger, get out of a sticky situation, or break up the monotony of everyday life? Here are 14 fibs every New Yorker has told. Promise.

3. "Yes, new subway friend, my phone number really starts with 555 just like in the movies. Isn't that weird?"
4. "I love my job."
5. "That Xbox belongs to my roommate. That's his dirty dish too. Man, how did his Spider-Man sheets get on my bed?"
