ASK QUESTIONS IN REVERSE ORDER
Most liars practice their stories from beginning to end, so asking them to convey information out of sequence can trip them up. “Someone who actually had an experience will have no problem explaining, but a liar will struggle to tell a story backward,” Woods says. So if your idiot buddy starts to tell a long story about why he was so late meeting you at the bar, interrupt him with questions rather than letting him tell the story from beginning to end.
