Uh, I can't help right now because I have a bone in my arm. Do I know you? These are the only clean clothes I have. I really have to go to the bathroom bad so I gotta go. I'm sorry but I can't take myself serious right now. I have to blow the snot out of my nose so I'll talk to you later. Hey, good news, I'm not full blown AIDS yet...

I don't make excuses, but I tell the truth in a way people sometimes don't pick up on.
I get hit on at work a lot and when they ask me out I say, "I don't go out with customers on days that end in Y."

I never make excuses, I always tell it like it is. The process is called telling the TRUTH.

I don't lie, always tell the truth. It's much easier then making up a lie and then having to remember what lie you told. And you have to remember the lie that you told forever incase the subject ever comes up again. You'll be much happier in life and have much less stress if you just tell the truth.

Blame it on someone else. If you are a teen, say you can't because your parents won't allow it. If you are an adult, say your significant other is not up to it, so you will just go along with what he/she wants. If you don't have a significant other, use your boss, an elderly aunt or somebody needs for you to do x, y, or z.
When all else fails, why not just be honest and say, "I don't want to." Wow, that is so liberating.

My favorite excuse is: " I just don't like you "
that usually gets them to get off my back.

Any excuse is better than none? Wouldn't it be soooo good for people NOT to have to have an excuse !?
