Seriously, how many people has not lied about that.
Another lie is "No", or "I understand".
My personal favorite:
Q:Are you paying attention?
A:Yes.

What do you think is the most common lie?

"I have read and agree to the terms of use"

Wow, I would of never thought of that one, but what a good possibility! Smart thinking! I have scrolled past so many of those it's not even funny, knowing you have to check the box at the end of the list of rules and you can't sign up if you don't so why bother reading?

My guess for most common lie is either I love you, or I didn't do it! Certainly, I'm innocent is way up there too. I wonder if the dog ate my homework would even make the top 10? Then there is always, Your my favorite. Or, I didn't mean it. I'm sure we've all said things that didn't come out right, or sounded a lot meaner once we said them and realized how they could of hurt someone's feelings.
How about, Yes, I am 21 years of age?
This could get really difficult deciding which would be the most popular.

Q:How do you like those clothes?
A:I love them.

I'm not scared/afraid.

I can *insert random skill here*.

I love *insert item/place here*

When a few people (including me) was asked why we didn't turn our work in, everyone replied "I lost it". I was little more honest though. I said, "Because I didn't do it, and I lost some of it." I really did lose some of it.

I've lost count of the number of times I've told that lie myself. By far the most common one. And so far people always miss the fact I'm lying, or they just don't want to ask again :P

Hah, I loved the one about agreeing to the terms of use. It's amazing how many people download programs or books and things like that and then try to sell them under the basis that "I didn't agree to any terms." When you *show* them the terms they agreed to it turns into "well, they should have made it more obvious what they meant. Since they didn't I really didn't agree to them" and things like that.

It happens a lot with people on CraigsList who buy something like Adobe for $1k and then sell burned copies for $40 under the condition that they never agreed *not* to burn and sell the copies.
