I went back to my fiancee's parents' place over the weekend, and I called a friend and let him know I was going to be in town. I asked what he was up to, and he said going to Costco to pick up a few things. I politely asked him to pick me up a couple boxes of cedar shoe trees if he saw them (they don't have them where I live), and I would gladly reimburse him for the costs and buy him a drink for the trouble.
Anyways, he didn't ask any questions about it, but when my other friend saw me take the shoe trees and put them in my car, he proceeded to ask me how I knew the whereabouts of said trees, why I would ask somebody to buy shoe trees, etc. I proceeded to tell him that I used to buy them at the local Costco, but they no longer carry them (which they never did) as opposed to revealing this site, which would've been far more embarrassing, i.e. "I actually go on a men's clothing internet forum to discuss items such as these, and therefore knew that they could be purchased at Costco, etc."
Anybody else been in a similar boat, one where you have to make up a lie or divulge SF?
