I never had it be a problem, or really noticed, other than people blatently telling me directions or instructions that they fabricated on the spot. 'Sorry, I don't know' would be much nicer. Doesn't achieve the 'looking polite' they are aiming for; achieves 'looking like a fucking idiot'.
I treat people's words as a mere 'mild hint' as to what they have actually done or are going to do, though, so maybe I just don't notice lies that well. Avoids disappointment when you are already assuming poor behavior.
