The dog ate my homework.
My email crashed.
My mother-in-law was in town.
What's the best (made-up) excuse you've ever come up with to get out of something?
And did it work, or did you get caught? :)

"A tree fell on my apartment and I have no power."

Which was not ENTIRELY untrue. A tree DID fall on my apartment COMPLEX, but not MY particular building. THEY lost power. I did have power though, so that was a lie.

I very rarely MAKE UP excuses - I'm very good at using random acts of god opportunities however to get out of doing things that I really don't want to do (like going to work).

"I have a migraine" is my stand-by for so many things.
