When you're out on a job interview and they ask you "Are you interviewing with anyone else?" or "Do you have any other offers?" or "What's your current salary?"

  "Would you always answer these questions completely and honestly" Pretty much. If they ask something that's none of their business, I tell them that, too, as tactfully as possible. Answer completely? No, not always; people are not entitled to information just because they ask. What I try not to do is get people to make decisions based on me willfully and deliberately making shit up. When I read stories such as the "custom porn" tale, and people's reactions to it, I get the sense that the bravado and cleverness of it absolves (or at least obscures) any issues with deceit. There are times when lying is not only needed, but the absolute right thing to do, but that's not decided by what a good story it makes to tell your friends later.
