Spin Ring
Wouldn’t it be great if we were all born with a lie detector so that we could tell when someone was lying to us? Unfortunately, none of us were born with this gift so we are going to discuss the traits of a habitual liar to help you identify when your partner, or anyone else for that matter, is lying to you.
We all lie occasionally for various reasons, especially when we don’t want to hurt someone feelings. But a habitual liar doesn’t seem to ever be able to tell the truth and lies for no good reason at all. These people see no reason to tell the truth and truly believe that they will never be caught.
Some people out there are gifted liars and they really have honed this skill to levels that most people will never achieve. As I said earlier, people lie for a variety of reasons but when you are the person being lied to, do you really care what kind of liar you are dealing with?
So let’s discuss some of the traits of a habitual liar and the best way to catch a habitual liar. A habitual liar doesn’t need a reason to lie. They love to spin lies and live with the belief that they will never be caught. The habitual liar usually has the gift of gab and can spin elaborate stories without any thought. They provide a lot of details to their stories and can be completely believable. One of the best ways to catch a habitual liar is to study body language because a habitual liar will usually have certain habits when they lie.
Tends to avoid eye contact. Usually this person will not look you in the eye while they spin their elaborate tales. Their eyes may be shifty and they usually don’t know that they are exhibiting this trait. A professional liar will be trained to know this but a habitual liar hasn’t had any training and just loves to lie so this is a good indicator of lying.
Tends to fidget while lying. Again, this person will not usually be aware that they twist a ring on their finger, twirl their hair, flip their cell phone from hand to hand, shift from side to side, etc. while they are spinning their lies. They will usually put something between themselves and the people they are lying to. For example, they may stand behind a counter, hold a cup of coffee or text while they are lying to you to help cover the lies they are telling.
Tends to have overly detailed answers when questioned. This person usually doesn’t actually know any facts concerning the subject they are lying about and will tend to fumble around, spewing irrelevant details.
Will usually side step any attempt to ask direct questions and will usually make up an excuse to leave or change the subject abruptly when they feel threatened. By changing the subject or simply leaving, they are able to avoid answering questions they can’t answer.
While no one is born with a lie detector system, by being aware of body language, you can usually spot someone that is lying to you pretty easily. Non-verbal cues are traits of a habitual liar that are easy to observe and this person usually isn’t aware that they are giving themselves away with they easy to monitor gestures and facial expressions.
These are just a few traits that you can look for and by honing your powers of observation, you can be confident of your ability to deal with lairs whether this person is your boss, your friend, your partner or your spouse. If you think you are dealing with a cheating spouse or partner, these tips can be invaluable to you. Get more tips on how to catch a cheating spouse lying.
What is the purpose of the strange rotating ring around the face of my watch?
Ever since purchasing my current watch eight years ago, I’ve been mystified by a particular feature it contains. Around the face is a gold ring that rotates. It makes a ratcheting sound when being rotated, and can only be spun in one direction (counter-clockwise). On the rotating ring are marked the numbers 5 through 60 in intervals of five (Obviously something to do with minutes or seconds). In addition, the rotating ring also has the four intermediate compass directions (NE, SE, SW, NW) marked on it. Between the rotating ring and the watch face is a second smaller ring with the numbers 30-330 in intervals of sixty (Something to do with degrees my guess). This smaller ring cannot be rotated.
Now, even though I can kinda guess at what the markings indicate…I still cannot figure out how they are combined into a useful function. What is the purpose of this mysterious rotating ring and the markings on it? I bought it at a garage sale, so I don’t have the instruction book to help me.
Yes the outer ring is usually set up for diving. The compass points are there as it is possible to get a good idea of north if you are in the southern hemisphere and south if you are in the northern hemisphere with an analog watch or clock. If the watch is set to the correct solar time, (not daylight saving etc) then point the 12 position at the Sun. North/south is then half way between the hour hand and the 12.
So at 10am, point the 12 at the sun and north/south is in the direction of the 11 mark.
Obviously this is difficult to use if you are in the tropics as the sun is usually close to overhead in the middle part of the day but it is easier to use at higher latitudes.
