Dru Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Over the years I have had many lame excuses from partners and given a few myself. "I have to be home tonight to watch Star Trek" "I have to be home tonight to watch Formula 1" "Today is the last day for RRSP contributions" "I have to feed my horse" "I'm going to church Sunday - I feel religious" "It might be windy - I'm going sailing" "I don't want to walk that far" "That crag is for bolt clipping sissies" "I have to wax my truck" "There's a conjunction of Mars and Jupiter I want to watch and my telescope will get damaged in your car" etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthumbs Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Yeah, no one should be messin with the legitimate threads. Keep the shit in spray where it belongs.

mattp Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 How about: "I don't have anything to prove -- do you??" (spoken immediately after the guy has just caught his first glance of the objective, but not really looked at it yet and apparently not in a mind to consider trying it).

allthumbs Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 If he's of a cocksure demeanor, he'll think about it all week while neglecting his clients, and then clandestinely conquer the bitch on the following weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Here's a real one. And this one was by a cc.com poster. I found this excuse out after waiting for one hour for him at our scheduled meeting place. (He never showed up.) My whole weekend was wasted--and it was a gorgeous weekend. "I decided at the last minute to help my girlfriend move."
