I was a justice of the peace (public notary) for many years and witnessed many declarations etc - I was surprised at the number of people (even my friends) who expected me to say I had seen someone sign the dec when I hadn't!!
isn't it odd that these people expected me to forswear myself???

I swear just to prove a point. That I am right. No corners cut at all.

I think that is odd. I mean that is the reason for a public notary, to make the document legal and binding. Maybe they didn't understand the true depth of responsibility you had.
Some people...I swear.

i hate lieing i just feel so guilty afterward so when i was a teen and my parents would ask me something i need to lie about i told them the truth but in sarcasm like "oh yeah i got so drunk dad" because i was saying it with sarcasm they didn't think to ask again and assumed i hadn't done what i had. or i bend the truth, i never really did that much wrong anyway.

That's not right for them to have done that to you. But, yes, I have cut corners a bit.
