I had a friend's wife go ape sh*t on me (for no real good reason) and the excuse was "well she is a lawyer"

My family used to be verbally abusive and then call me too sensitive.
Since then, one of them has died, one I just stay away from, and the other one has actually become a fairly decent person.

When my husband started cheating, he was getting up at 5:30am to go to work. I knew the only thing that would ever get him up that early was golf or fishing. I bought a GPS tracker online and put it in his car. It showed him driving right past work to a coworker's farm. Then at 10am he'd go to work as usual. When confronted with the evidence he said, "Since her husband moved out, I've been mowing her lawn." I said, "Is that what they're calling it nowadays?"

Not once, in the last 13 years, has he ever a) admitted he cheated, and b) apologized.

Well, actually I'm the culprit here: Years ago, when my daughter graduated from high school, she didn't want certain family members to come and I didn't want to hurt their feelings or start World War III, so I lied and said "Sorry, they only gave us 6 invitations." Well one of the relatives who had been invited told the others, "I just walked in and sat down. Nobody even asked me for an invitation! I think anyone could come." World War III still raging on!

But, what'd her "lawn" look like?

"I'm sure there are plenty of guys around who would love to ask you out." - got this from an then-boyfriend some years back, it's one of the few things I remember from his "I think we need to break-up" e-mail. (it was a long distance relationship)

This gets on my "worst excuses" list simply because there were NO other guys around who were showing interest in asking me out, or at least, they certainly weren't approaching me.

I invited a cousin who said the Sunday football game was more important. That told me quite a lot.

"I don't have time" is the worst excuse I've ever heard. I hate it. Why don't you have time to exercise but you have time to watch TV? Why don't you have time to help me when you have time to do something for yourself? The truth is that you DON'T WANT TO but it sounds too immature and whiny to admit.

Unless you are truly under a time deadline, like catching the bus or you must get somewhere by a certain time, I hate it when people say "I don't have time."
