What would be a good reason to give to get out of doing a favor?

I’ll start with one.
I don’t mind lending you the dress but you have to send it to the cleaners because I haven’t cleaned it since I threw up on it.

I took Viagra 5 hours ago and it won’t stop working. I am waiting to hear from my doctor.

My dog has uncontrollable diarrhoea, and between the mess I have to clean up and the poor sick dog, I simply can’t leave the house right now.

I knocked down a huge hornet’s nest earlier today and they are all mad and swarming all over my house, I can’t get out now.

The sewer backed up into the basement to a level of nearly three feet and I have to clean and disinfect everything that does not need to go in the trash. I smell like a sewer myself and just can’t leave what I am doing.

I could keep on going for quite a while.

Good one. LMAO, Love the first excuse best of all.

It can always be your time of the month.

But really, just say no. You gotta learn sometime.

@tinyfaery Its mostly for amusement, besides some people don’t seem to understand the word no or take it as a personal rejection. In truth I have no problem saying no unless it will be more of a headache dealing with the person later. Most people know not to ask me because no is my favorite word.

Can’t answer now, I’m having a senior moment and have to run to the bathroom.

:D Took me a few seconds to realize that was your reply. LOL
Awesome.
Hello….. Are you still in the bathroom?

I’m sick (I’ve used it before).

how about – “sorry, can’t do, I have a date”,
or “I have an infection, and need a rest” ?

I’m thinking some people aren’t getting the idea behind this question. It is simply for fun and creative purposes. For laughs.
Doesn’t even have to be for getting out of a favor. But even calling out of work simply because you don’t feel like going in to work but you don’t want to have to go to the doctor because he will say your not sick.
Or an excuse for being late again.

Here are a few more:

I just can’t _____________, I started my car and there must have been some furry animal warming up on the radiator and well it’s a real mess and the serpentine belt won’t grip with all the fur and goo all over it. I’m so upset and grossed out.

I just can’t, I’m fluthering right now and I can’t handle the new ones because of all the old ones I have to deal with first. I just have to get this under control!

I have to go out and find the darn dogs. Someone left the inside door open and now they’re running all over the neighbourhood and I need to get them back before one of them scares someones child or before they get hurt crossing the street. I just have to get out there right now.

I just can’t, my eldest used crazy glue to stick his brother to the little potty chair and we can’t get it off and he’s hysterical.

There are probably more where those came from.

Ewwwee. The first one is gross. I got a mental picture with that. Had a friend who that actually happend to his car.
The last was was really funny. LMAO
The fluther one. Well I would think you lost your mind.
I’ve used the dog one. Except my dog is small, so in the winter, I would say he ran out and I’m afraid he will freeze to death if I don’t find him soon.

Really did love the crazy glue one.
Your great at this game.

@Pandora Careful not to keep encouraging me. I want others to have a turn.

nah, keep going. I don’t think anyone else is interested. :(

I have another one. I did use once for being late to work. I told my boss that I would be late because my dog just puked on my clothes and I had to press out a fresh set.
Told her I could bring it in if she liked.
Surprisingly she declined the offer and wished my puppy well.

Had a power surge in the house and it set off the alarms. The dog was freaking out.

I was so looking forward to wearing the costume but when I threw it in the wash it got shredded.
(Holidayin a store. The manager wanted people in elf costumes, but she wouldn’t wear one)

I can’t be your bridesmaid. I slept with your fiance’s brother and I’m afraid I’ll laugh in hysterics all evening if I have to stand next to him. he has the smallest penis I’ve ever seen!

I can see that would definetly get you off the hook.

Well off to bed I go. I’ll check in tomorrow.

My snake got out and I have to stay home to keep looking for it… and my cat. Here Fluffy!

My son knocked over the tarantula’s critter keeper, it ran under the couch and now we can’t find it.

My teenage son took our snake over to a friends house without permission. He had it in the floorboard of our car, and it crawled inside the dash while he was driving. I can’t drive the car until I get it out.

My five year old poured a whole jar of honey on the cat, and I had to give the cat a bath. I’m on my way to emergency care now. I don’t think any of them need stitches…

(Pet emergencies were common at my house.)

First one. I hope you found fluffy. :(
2nd. (Fluffy doesn’t have a chance)
3.rd. (make the kid look for it)
4th. (who won, the cat or the kid?) LOL
Loved them all.
Thanks for playing.
:)))

It helps to be on fire ;)

lost the keys, lost the glasses….....

dog sick…i’m sick, mom sick

cant get out of the driveway in the snow

waiting for plumber

Excuses for not showing up to work:
—My dog ate my Blackberry and I didn’t know what day it was.
—My mom didn’t wake me up again
—My work clothes are in the wash.
—There was a spider in my bathroom so I couldn’t get dressed.
—My dog is sick
—I didn’t have money for gas.
—You mean I have to go to work EVERY day? LOL
—My dog declares a snow day
—Nobody woke me up!
—My dog ate my briefcase.
—I think I am pregnant.
—Someone stole my car.
—I only work when the stock market is up.
—what are you talking about – i was here yesterday!

@Stasi I loved a spider was in the bathroom and I only work when the stock market is up.
I’ve actually have known someone to use all of these except for the two mentioned above and my dog ate my briefcase and my dog ate my blackberry and my dog declared it a snow day.

However she did give an excuse of I’m late because my mom took me to get a new cell phone because my boyfriend broke my old one.

I so wanted to fire her but my boss was pals with her mom.
She was a nice kid. She just never could be trusted to show up for work.

How about these:
I was on Fluther and I lost track of the time.

I was poisoned by my mother-in-law.

A buffalo escaped from the game reserve and kept charging me every time I tried to go to my car from my house.

I was feeling all the symptoms of my pregnant wife.

(Calling from a cellphone) I’m locked in a restroom stall and no one is around to let me out.

I broke my leg snowboarding off my roof while drunk.

My wife said I couldn’t come into work because I had a lot of chores to do around the house.

One of the walls in the my home fell off.

My mom’s in jail.

A skunk got into the house and sprayed all of my uniforms.

I have a bad case of the hiccups.

I got hit by a bus.

My dog swallowed my bus pass.

#1 fired
#2 Sounds like a personal problem. (not fired but not getting paid)
#3 In the city??
#4 Take a midol
#5 Tell me where, I’ll get u out. (fired)
#6 (inner thoughts would be), WOW, special)
#7 Fired
#8 (inner thoughts would be) Sucks to be u. I want pics.
#9 Let her rot unless she was there for stabbing your mother-in-law
#10 So maybe its not your normal smell?
#11 Put your head in a toilet. That should stop them.
#12 If your able to call that means it didn’t back up on you and you should be at work. Fired!
#13 squeeze the sucker till it comes out the other end. LOL
LMAO, all pretty good.

I woke up in an alternate dimension where people are compassionate, honest and reliable, so I knew I was in no fit state to deal with the reality to which I am accustomed today.

My future descendants dropped by to meet me and it would be so rude to walk out on them.

My house has been turned literally inside out and I am in what is normally the outside and my keys are outside in the inside. Did I say that right? Anyway my car is inside the outside and I can’t get in to get out and if I did, my car would not be then anyway! I can’t get anywhere!

#1 ok, pass, that would throw me for a loop. LMAO
#2 Get to work before you can’t afford the little bastards.
#3 I want you to bring me some of the stuff your taking. In the meantime break through your window and grab your keys and drive your car throught the house.
Just make sure you don’t hit @Stasi, she already missed work because the bus hit her!
And if you do see her, pick her up off the road before she gets canned or gets run over again.

@Pandora – LMAO….yeap, it’s true.

Oh gosh I’d love to….#%$&^>?#% $ & ? //?$%#@.......DAMN....ooooh, sooooo sorry, that’s my tourets, and I;m waiting on my medication.

I personally always like the good old “No, because I don’t want to.” It is the easiest and I don’t have to remember a lie.

I’d love to but the cows need milking.
