Observation #5
For this observation, I had lunch at Ninja in Cedar City. I saw a few couples that were eating and was trying to notice any deception cues. One couple in their late 20's were having lunch and the girl had good posture with her hands clasped together. She would seem to be telling a story and the gentlemen had his elbows on the table with his right hand on his left wrist and would nod along to her story. Over hearing the story, it was about how the woman wasn't getting along with her manager at work and the manager was doing all of these crazy things and when the woman would say something far fetched, such as being caught drinking on the job, the gentlemen would act surprised and then restate the phrase back to her. Girl - "(So-and-so) was caught drinking on the job!" Boy- "What! She was drinking on the job?". However, some of her story didn't add up either cause she wasn't telling the truth or she was leaving parts of the story out. Eventually, the gentlemen lost interest in the story after what I believe is he caught onto the falsehood or exaggeration of the story and began to look around or would go on his phone. Other couples were out of listening range, but some men sat cross legged and would scratch their beard, pick their ears or nose, and even yawn loudly. I assumed that the group that they were involved with were all friends because this type of behavior was almost rude like.
