Messed up relationships

I was at the airport yesterday to pick up a friend who's visiting me for the weekend, and as I was walking through the terminal a woman stopped me and asked if I would do her a favor. Sure, I say, always willing to be of help. She says, "I'm going to call my boyfriend on my cell phone, and would you mind telling him that we're at Tysons Mall? He doesn't know I'm traveling." Um, okay.

First I thought how terrible it is that this woman's boyfriend trusts her so little that he's more likely to believe a stranger telling him where she is than he is to believe her. Then I realized he's right not to trust her, because she is in fact lying to him.

So glad my life is not that messed up.
