Whats it called how do you do it? for when i try it turns in my face "They remember exactly what i said word for word. I can't deny it they can"?What is the name of the "Thing" Called when you Twist/ lie and contradict what you say?
We all have our own maps of the world held in our brains; hence when an event occurs which is witnessed by 10 people, 10 different maps are created.



When one witness tries to describe the event to someone else, they must take a stored memory, replay it internally, turn what they saw/heard/felt into words, which are then interpretted and turned into a different map by the recipient.



As you can imagine, there is a large scope for error - an event that took 10 minutes can literally be reduced to a couple of 20 second soundbites. Add into this the fact that people delete, distort and generalise their experiences, and it's a wonder we ever communicate at all.



So you ask a question, the cashier interprets, gives an answer based on a set of assumptions and remembers what was said with distortion/deletion/generalisation applied.



Examples - you say I was late for work today - generaliser replies - everybody is always late. Deleter remembers it as you were late, or perhaps you went to work today. A distorter may relate the tale as: this guy came in today, he has a really high powered city job and they let him come in late every day!



Once someone has commited a fact to memory (with faulty logic applied), they will swear that they are right, and if you produce a tape recorder will accuse you of making it at home.



The best advice I can give, knowing the above information to be true, is to observe the world going about its business, communicating hopelessly, yet getting on - and have a little chuckle to yourself.

hypocrite? Manipulating? White-lie? None of those are quite right. Perhaps there is no word for that in English
Lie.

No matter how you attempt to soften the fact.

It is a lie and this person is a liar.
Being a two-faced hypocrite!
bait and switch
Double-talk. Or in the case of the shop owner stating different prices...Price gouger!!!
