True Lame Excuses. I have to be somewhere, uh... now?

[SuperK]

Have you ever been in a situation where you just suddenly gave a truly LAME excuse?

OK, I think this one is pretty good. Bout a year ago I was serving this one good-looking chick, just her. She was unhappy, so... me, being such the caring person I am (AKA working for his tip) decided she needed a good flirting-with.

Now mind you, I don't have any interest in her. She smoked, she drank, and she apparently liked to get into trouble. Not my type, you know? But heck, I'll (or I HAVE) flirt with a whale if it means she'll drop a few more $$$$'s into the wallet. (Swear I'm not a bad person!)

So I have no problem flirting with a cute one, even if I want nothing to do with her...

So the meal ends with her saying, "Do you want to get some drinks at the bar and hang out after work?"
My eyes dart back in forth in sudden mental panic, trying to find some object or instance that will be my way out. in 5 seconds, I kid you not, this is what went through my mind
"Ohmygodohmygodohmygod I need an excuse... thinkthinkthinkthink FASTER! I'm completely not busy tonight DAMNIT! I'm wearing glasses and I ran out of contacts but my perscription is a few years old which means...."

And out loud, I say,

"I uh actually have an... eye exam appointment right after... I get off of work. So uh, yeah, I'll be busy this evening."

SuperK Did NOT receive the tip he worked so hard for

I once told a girl that my roommate was out of town and i had to take care of her cat - so i cant take her to my place or go to her place. I was a "little"drunk though when i said that....

Last year this girl that I had known before I go tmarried asked me if I wanted to "come over" and I told her, and I quote, "I think my cat died".

I'm sure she bought it.

LOL! I wasnt expecting that. I was expecting her to give some type of excuse...

yeah me too... kind of reversed... I guess SuperK is just a pimp and has so many ladies he can refuse even the "cute" ones

I don't have any good ones off the top of my head, but I remember reading a novel in highschool where the protagonist suddenly had to get off the phone with a girl he liked, so he said "uh.. my cat's head is on fire."

Kris... are you perhaps a homosexual???

Lamest dodge I used: "I'm sorry, I just remembered that I'm gay."
Lamest excuse: "I just washed my car so now I'm blow-drying it" (Pulled over for speeding)

Excuses I have used that sound fake, but were true:
"I missed the test because my wheel fell off." (See this topic)
"Can't go, computer's on fire." (May my old laptop rest in pieces)
"I did the assignment; I just sort of accidently forensically sterilzed my USB stick." (Digital Investigations class)
"I'd go, but I sort of got stabbed...by myself...about thirty seconds ago" (Spinning a knife around fingertips)
"I have it done, I just don't know where it is." (CCNA lab book, gave it to my friend to do his part, he dropped out)

Excuse I should of thought out before yelling it accross a crowded classroom:
"Have the other group go first, I still need to get the condoms and duct tape." (Television Arts class, I needed those materials to make blood packs for a specific scene. Didn't help that my partner was female...)

"Have the other group go first, I still need to get the condoms and duct tape."

*Takes notes.*

Soon my Craigslist ad will be complete. (Se7en knows what I'm talking about)
