Let’s be honest, sometimes we commit to things that in the back of our minds, we know we will never do. Sometimes, you just run out of excuses. I took to social media to make people very uncomfortable and ask the worst excuses they’ve used to get out of something- from laziest, to most morally corrupt/messed up, to just stupid, here they are:

1. “My pet was sick.”
2. “I just straight up told them I was hanging out with someone else.”
3. “I have a debilitating, contagious disease.”
4. “My dad is being rushed to the ICU in Massachusetts.”
5. “I have a boyfriend. (Side note, I’m gay)”
6. “I haven’t used any excuses since I got out of rehab.”
7. “I have an exam to study for.”
8. “My blood pressure is really low.”
9. “One time I faked a leg cramp in high school so I could ride in the elevator.”
10. “I think I slept with oneDy of your friends.”
11. “I’m visiting family in Maine. (Side note, no family in Maine)”
12. “Way too much homework.”
13. “My mom is in the hospital. (Side note, my mom hasn’t been around since I was 16)”
14. “I’m violently sick to my stomach.”
15. “My house is on fire.”
16. “I need to take my roommate to the hospital.”
17. “I faked a leg injury to get out of sprints in practice.”
18. “My aunt fainted, we’re very close and I need to go to New Hampshire to take care of her.”
19. “Can I give you an excuse later? My fish isn’t feeling well.”
20. “I have to pick up my brother at a friends.”
21. “I need to walk the dog. (Side note, I don’t have a dog)”
22. “I have to do my laundry”

25. “I have a doctor appointment.”
26. “My grandmother died.”
27. “I’m actually moving to Florida.”
28. “I heard you’re bad in bed.”
29. “My father is back in the ICU, he’s battling cancer (the second half was true)”
30. “I broke my arm. (Side note, wore a sling to make it realistic)”
31. (When caught making excuses) “I lied to see if you were telling the truth..”
32. “Told my boss I had to leave to get a tetanus shot so I could spend the evening with my girlfriend.”
33. “My mom says I can’t go.”
34. “My neighbor’s house burned down and they don’t know if everyone made it out.”
35. “My computer crashed this morning and I lost all of my homework.”
36. “After hooking up with a girl I told her I had to leave because I had a paper due the following day.”
37. “I said I broke my toe to avoid an ex-girlfriend’s family dinner. (Side note, wrapped it for weeks to make it more realistic)”
