The Drunk Confession
Your close friend gets drunk at a dinner party. They pull you aside and tell you a terrible secret about their marriage. They tell you their partner hits them. The next morning, they call you. They are sober. They say they made the whole thing up for attention.
Do you stay friends with them?
Then ask
- Which part of their story do you believe?
- Who in your life would you drop immediately if they lied like that?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
