yeah - similarly - if I actually saw anybody drop something - including money - I'd let them know. But if I saw a £10 note on the ground and there was no immediately obvious sign of who dropped it - it's mine.
The bike question - I just know it wouldn't occur to me to lie in the moment.
And the hair question - as you say, is silly - there are other options and it's contextual: friend says 'what do you think of this hairstyle?' whilst messing around with styles preparing to go out- be honest. Friend asks how hair looks as we're getting into a taxi with no options for doing anything about it anyway - white lie.
