Quick, need a good excuse
 

Out of town for work. Need a good excuse to not go to dinner with my coworker. Don't have time to explain why right now. Can anyone come up with anything better than I don't feel well and don't want to eat right now?

You already have plans with someone you know there?

You don't want to go to dinner with him/her.

Sorry, I'm meeting up w/ my buddy John who lives here and I never get to see.

Tomorrow: Oh, turned out John had to work late and couldn't get out, so I ended up having to just eat at the hotel. What BS. Should have gone out w/ you. Oh well.

Rick,

I used to hate eating with members of a certain audit team. If you have kids there is always saying you scheduled to call them at dinner time and you are just going to grab fast food before.

I also would find some one time TV event and say I was have been looking forward to it all day.

Also could you use the old you have to review some work papers from another job and send them back that night?

want to call the girlfriend/wife

Results
 

I went with "I have to do some extra work on another job, so I think it would be best if I just pick up something quick and eat while I work at the hotel".

She bought it.

So I ordered some wings and a six-pack and stayed in the hotel and played on Stars all night. Much better than dinner with the coworker.

honesty worked best

You just got told (by your cellphone) that your beloved aunt is quite ill. You've known she was sick for some time, but really, right now is best spent in privacy commiserating with other family members about her impending demise.

Plus I was up $240 on Stars last night in 4 hours, so that was good too.
