Geoff: "If you haven't anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me."
Alice Roosevelt Longworth

Of course, I find myself using entirely honest but slightly bowdlerised responses to get by at work, such as:
1] That wasn't in the brief.
2] It does work, you just use a browser/OS that we haven't tested on yet.
3] Your email services are working fine at this end.

100% honesty would translate these to:
1] You are having a laugh
2] Your budget didn't stretch to us finding a 18 year old PC running Windows 95, then checking the website in IE5. Oh and in 256 colours.
3] You have been told about this before - I am not here to deal with you not being able to send email because you've typed an address incorrectly.

Geoff: I am not saying that - I was saying that there is difference between being honest and being right.

orkanen: I've seen two plaques, one states as follows:

The boss may not always be right, but he is still your boss.

The other:

§1 The boss is always right.
§2 In case the boss isn't right, §1 stands.

Both, equally ridiculous.

Geoff: Actually, you're right, Ork

And my boss is a hippy turned capitalist.

And the difference between honest and right is who you hurt.
