When you know someone is lying to you do you call them out on it?

Or if you have a strong suspicion of them lying?

Yesterday my landlord called to get the rent check. Well it was a message at around 7:45 pm but I had gone out for the night and when I got back it was to late to call her back.

She said she would be in the area and wanted to pick up the rent check. Problem is that I had already given the super the check on Thursday.

She had said that she was gonna be here at 7, I assumed am but I was gonna be asleep and I had already paid rent so i didn't care.

This morning she called at 10am. I was asleep so didn't get the phone in time. Then I called her back. For whatever reason she didn't answer until about the 7th continuous time I tried. Then I explained that I had already paid it to the super. She said okay, but she's Korean and almost impossible to understand the little bit of English she speaks.

So after I told her I called the super and told him she left me a message last night and to let her know next time when he gets the check. Then he tells me he told her he had the check this morning. That was the lie. I then told him that I just spoke to her a few minutes ago.

I wanted him to know that I knew he was lying, but I played it off like maybe she didn't understand him either. But if you are not a good at telling lies than don't try it.

Problem is that people think they're good at it when they're really not.

My best friend/roommate tends to be a bit of a bullshitter, in a harmless way though. About non-important stuff but I always call him out on it and he tends to get very irritated when I do. He won't join discussions or talk to me about certain things because of it.

Has this happened before? You might want to get her address and mail the check if you've lost faith in the super.

The super and the landllord are nice, but both kind of ditzy. Usually she never asks for the check, so I'm assuming she's going out of town and wants to deposit it. One time she didn't cash the check until around the 27th which sucks. I asked the super if he wanted me to mail it and he said it wasn't necessary. I've been thinking of moving anyway and hope to be out in 3 months, I want to find something cheaper, bigger and closer to Wilton Manors. My place is a little more expensive and smaller because I am 3 short blocks from the beach.
