In retelling my journeys, as in making them, I do not know how to stop -- Rousseau

So today I learned a lesson in why you should not lie. I had previously talked to my apartment managers about getting an extra key for my place. They said no, one key per person on the lease and the keys say do not duplicate on them. So because I have people staying with me this week and I need an extra key to make things easier, I decided to pretend to lose my keys so I could get an extra set. I usually don't lie but it is an annoying rule. Well, I started calling/pretending I had lost my keys at noon but no one called me back until 8 pm. By that time I had gone home. So I talked to the manager, he said that he would make me a new set. So as I was sneaking out of my apartment to go get my new keys I passed my manager on the stairs as he was going to check to see if the new key worked. Then I went over to his apartment after taking my hair down and taking off my jacket as to disguise the fact that I had been in the building and passed him on the stairs. It turned out that they had the wrong key for my lock so then they started talking about getting a locksmith to open it.... So then I "went back to the park where my friends daughter dropped my keys in the lake" (lying is in the details) and magically found my keys. So now I still do not have extra keys and I wasted two hours. So remember kids, Don't lie. It only leads to trouble.

Dude! Just go down to the local hardware store and get a spare key made. There's nothing illegal about copying an apartment key except that the manager doesn't want you to. It's not like P.O. Box keys. Plus, it's much easier to omit information than to lie.
