How often do you lie to your supervisors (or superior) to avoid reprimand from a mistake you made?

A lie, an white lie, omitting the whole truth, blame someone else, play dumb, etc... to avoid punishment, reprimand, just to keep life simpler, or to help with a promotion, keep your job (or stay in command), get a job, etc....

I suspect a lot of people won't answer this question out of fear. But a quick response should not cause any issues as probably everyone has told a fib at work sometime in their life. This question is not to get anyone in trouble but to gauge what a company can expect from employees. So if you don't want to answer about yourself in your current job, perhaps you can attest to a colleague or from a past job....
