What was a really clever excuse you just made up on the spot?

#1

The trick is to explain as little as possible. Example: Hey, I left something, gotta go.

    When I forget to do hone work and the teacher asks: "VÄINO, WHERE IS YOUR HOMEWORK?" I say "Uhhh ma'am, I lost it in the snow.."

    And then if someone asks me to help them in something, I say: "Sorry I've to take my snake for a walk"

    For ppl in their parent/guardian's house:
    Sorry, my parents said I have to be home by ______.
    Oh, my mom just texted and told me I have to go.

    For students:
    Shoot, I forgot I have an assignment due! I have to go finish it.
    Oh, I have a meeting with my teacher soon. See you later?
    Gah! Lost track of time! I have to run to make it to class. Bye!

    My mother was not speaking to me. When I found out she was very angry that I was moving out, I told her that I was hoping she would tell me not to go. She got teary and forgave me, and I moved out!

    I was on a date with a guy very uncomfortable in social situations. Going out was a big effort for him. Then a very intrusive and insistent guy came to us trying to sell him some "flowers for the lady". I saw how anxious it was getting him, so, I started sneezing hardly and said something like "omg!! I'm so allergic to roses!! Please stand back!!" And the seller went away so fast and apologizing so much! Haha

    It turned an awkward situation to a fun one for my date and me 😁

    I was on the verge of an anxiety attack, someone asked if I was ok, hating when someone brings a lot of attention to these things,I just said it was allergies.

    I was late for work a lot and pretty much was told that it wasn’t going to be tolerated much longer.* So, inevitably I was late about a week later and my boss told me that it better be a good excuse so I did my best. I said, “I was abducted by aliens last night and needed to shower because of…the a**l probe.” Boss had nothing.
    *True story, I worked at a detox at the time and was going through some stuff. Please don’t judge me. I did get my stuff together. Promise.

    Me: like a ninja at 2am army crawling on the floor over to my BFs jeans laying in a pile next to the bed. **checks for sounds of snoring** red team go! Take about 15min to delicately reach into the pocket and extract phone. Just when I have it 3/4 of the way out… snoring stops… abort abort! Quickly push the phone back in his pocket right as he sits up. Me: already flipped to my back bringing my knee up to my chest. BF: what are you doing? Me: stretching…. BF: ………………. Me: I had a leg cramp

    My OCD is bad bad. When caught in thought situations sometimes I force myself to the bathroom. To go pee cause my brain can't handle s**t sometimes. And that's okay.
