Happy friendship day, you people. We know
you love your supercalifragilisticexpealidocious friends and we also know you’d
go to any length for those adorable little humans. However, we’re sure you
sometimes find yourself in a situation that you try your best to avoid. Be it a
trip to somewhere or simply paying for a massively expensive meal. Here’s what
we have seen to be your most common excuses to bail out. You are smart! We’ll
give you one for that.

Goa trip? The classic ‘Mummy papa nahi
manenge’

The infamous Goa trip plans almost never
come into fruition. Blame it on the Indian middle class family drama but you
know your mom dad will never agree to

It. “Travel after your marriage, beta”,
“you’re just a kid, beta. We are worried about you. Can’t let you go.” – the
most common response from your parents. Surprisingly, also the most common
excuses you give to your friends when you want to bail out of a trip to some
place. Are we right or are we right?

I’m too broke to pay this time

Going out to eat with friends? But also
saving up for the next solo trip? Worry no more. Take inspiration from people
around you and observe how this one works life magic. Telling your friends
you’re too broke to pay this time works wonders. Catch is that you promise to
pay the next time. Shh. We know that will never happen. Your secret is safe
with us.

I have an assignment due, can’t come to the
party tonight

Are you an introvert or simply just don’t
feel like partying on a night? What better way to dodge the show than telling
them you have a college/office assignment due! We promise, no one’s going to
force you into leaving your house. It’s legit, after all. *sigh* You can now go
tuck yourself in the bed with your favourite book or simply doze off like no
one cares.

Simply start crying when nothing works

Well, we have a winner! Simply crying when
nothing comes to your mind works every single time. By the time you finish your
pretend-sobs they’ll give up on what they were asking you to do. You can even
take the drama game up a notch by sobbing and saying you can’t tell them what’s
bothering you and simply run away. Filmy much? We know! But hey, it works!
