Your questions are rather vague. Yes I should be honest with my co- worker about the job assignment I didn’t complete since they might have to finish it for me but I certainly shouldn’t share with them that I had a fight with my husband (for example) as it’s not their business. I am puzzled re honesty with stranger. I mean I shouldn’t steal their wallet but other than that what kind of honesty do you mean?

Well certainly I wouldn’t greet my boss the way I greet my husband as it would be highly inappropriate. Nothing to do wuth honesty but more to do with social norms. In fact most of your questions aren’t really about honesty but more about social norms and societal constraints.
