Some Black Lies!

Well, I wonder. I sometimes really wonder why people speak Black Lies. My definition of Black Lies is that the black hidden at the back of grey is so BLACK that you cannot see the grey in front at all. I received a call from a friend in the morning. I was supposed to help him in finding a job in the NCR. For that, I needed his resume and he said he would be sending it to me a week back. I gave him my E-Mail id over the phone. Today, I received a call and he said he had sent it a week back. I said I had not received it. The conversation went like this:

Friend: Oh, I had sent it a week back.
Me: I did not receive it. Maybe you can send it again.
Friend: Can you give your E-Mail id once again?
Me: Its vaibhav.madan@gmail.com
Friend: Can you spell it out for me?
Me: V A I B H A V . M A
Friend (Interrupting): Oh, is there a DOT in between. I forgot lost time.
Me: Okie, its fine. Mail Id is V A I B H A V . M A D A N @ gmail.com
Friend: Okie. I will send it again.

Now wheres the lie in this conversation! Google actually has the feature where the DOT in between VAIBHAV and MADAN is redundant. So according to gmail,

vaibhav.madan@gmail.com ===== vaibhavmadan@gmail.com

So even if he had sent the resume and forgot to walk on the DOTTED line, I should still have received it. So why did he tell me a black lie when I have absolutely nothing personal in it and I would be taking someone elses help to help him out.

I WONDER WHY :)
