Lying for a Good Cause: Wholesome Secrets People Keep from Their Loved Ones

This next one is a story that could have gone really badly. Have you ever tried to use one of those claw machines? They are basically impossible to win at, and that’s by design—the company doesn’t make any money if people are winning nice prizes with every quarter they put in, after all.

So there was a very real chance that this story ended with this guy embarrassing himself by losing at the claw machine and two small girls dissolving into tears. Luckily, luck was on his side (or was it good karma?), and he was able to make their day and look like the coolest claw machine expert ever.
