Have you ever heard that a white lie isn't all that bad? That a small lie such as that can't really lead to any serious trouble? Well think again, because that just isn't true. Even a small lie can lead to pretty serious repercussions. From changing your future to accidentally deceiving someone for years, or even just being identified incorrectly for the rest of your life. White lies can lead to big problems, no matter how petty they may seem. This article will prove exact that by sharing some stories where people reveal how a white lie led to a serious outcome.

If you need to lie about something, it probably shouldn't be a lie that can be easily confirmed or denied. Like owning a duck. If you own a duck, people will find out. If you don't own a duck but claimed that you did, that too will become obvious pretty quickly.
