Well, if part of his career has to do with working with people from his home country, it very well could be.... once you get shunned for something like this, the people he knows will not stick around for fear they will be looked at as the same, so no more contacts for his career..... you see it as an overreaction because in your life and your country, it's not so much like that..... if it was, I'm sure you'd understand better

Oh it was worse then that.... not a jar it was a circle cut out of the entire bakery display case (I was meant to reach in by hand) but I heard my brother say the magic words.... "do it you won't" and I definitely did..... it took about 4 hours for them to cut the glass out of the display then cut a chunk out so I was free!! (Might not have been that long but certfelt like it!!

It's not the worse lie.... and honestly if you were young when you made it up people won't be hurt or anything like that it's the literal definition of a white lie...... I dated a guy in high school and over a year in he randomly one day told me that when he was 6 he lied and convinced the doctors he couldn't see right and they gave him glasses (which made him strain at first then he could see) and the dummy permanently needs glasses now all because he thought they were cool as a kid !! Our entire friend group thought it was hilarious! So I would be to worried about it! If they are real friends they will 100% just laugh at how silly it is and move on

Ok if giving up the lie and telling the truth isn't an option for some reason then make sure you tell your friends that it's only a percentage of people that the glasses work for so make sure to get ones that are returnable "in case" they dont work! Then they get to be amazing friends who did something great for you, and it's no ones fault it didn't work... and you can keep on lying.....lol Truth seems the easiest here but your call

Edit forgot word!
