history: I get annoyed when someone is not sincere I as my friend a questipn and he lied to me I absolutely hate liars.   Are you sure he is really a friend if he lied to you?
current: He is a friend i have for sometime now
next: Oh, I see.   I guess its kinda hard to give a friend you have a long time over a lie they told.   Hopefully he/she had a good reason to tell the lie then.
