Many Americans lie about their vacations. They say the trip was better than it was, that they did more sightseeing than they actually did, that their accommodations were great. They even lie about how much fun they have.
Maybe you said you went to Cuba for your vacation. Put seven people together who gave that answer, and according to the survey, one of you is fibbing. People don’t always tell the truth about their destination.More than a quarter of us fib about sightseeing and culture. For instance, maybe you said you went to the Sydney Opera House while you were in Australia, leaving the impression that you actually sat through “Turandot.
We guess the latter, based on statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In March 2018, the CDC reported thatAlcohol or not, almost 70% said they had a better time on vacation than they actually did, and more than half said they wouldn’t tell anyone if their vacation was a complete fiasco even if it was.
The photo above was taken after a hard rain — in fact, a flash flood — near Hilo, Hawaii, in August. Hilo is the wet side of Hawaii Island so of course it’s going to rain. But the survey says that more than a third of respondents exaggerated the weather. It doesn’t say whether they made a place sound postcard perfect and left out the part about the rain and the humidity, or whether they said the weather was much worse than it was as, maybe, a bid for sympathy.
