What harmless lie do adults tell each other all the time?

[IronFist56]

Adult life is full of tiny polite lies that keep society moving. Things like, we must catch up soon, I will only be five minutes, or I am just having a quiet one tonight.

Most of these are not evil lies. They are little cushions placed around social life so nobody has to say the sharper truth out loud.

Which harmless lie do you hear most often?
