>Lying isn't inherently wrong.

Perhaps not to you. Morality is personal, and to me this comment is abhorrent.

Let me pose to you another scenario, and you tell me if you think my actions where abhorrent:

Whenever I work from home, there's often a knock at the door from someone trying to sell me solar panels. It's always a hard sell, they don't take "no" for an answer, and I don't have the time to deal with it. So when they ask if I'm the homeowner, I respond, "No, I rent.". They thank me and continue on their way.

Yes. Just tell them you're not interested or don't answer the door. There's no need to lie.
Do I look fat in this dress?
