## What is Excuses Excuses?

Tired of being too nice to say no? Excuses Excuses does the dirty work for you, even directly from inside iMessage.

Mid-text with your mother-in-law? Tap the app icon inside Messages, pick a category, slide the fun level from "believable adult" to "full chaos goblin," and drop a perfectly-crafted excuse straight into the conversation. No app-switching. No stuttering through a half-baked lie. Tap, send, flake.

WHAT IT COVERS
• Work: meetings, RTO mandates, overtime
• Family: gatherings, in-laws, holidays
• Social: parties, barbecues, group hangs
• Dating: bad matches, worse timing
• Weddings and baby showers
• School events, PTAs, field trips
• Gym sessions and accountability partners
• Travel plans and "when are you visiting?"
• Volunteering, public speaking, and other "-ings"

HOW IT WORKS
Pick a category, slide the fun level, and tap. Then copy and paste or drop a rich-preview Excuse Bubble straight into any iMessage thread.

FREE TO START
Five categories included: Family, Work, Social, Dating, & Obligations. Each are packed with excuses across five fun levels.

UNLOCK SPECIALTY OUTPACKS
Life throws you specific problems. Get specific excuses: the wedding you really can't attend. The RTO mandate you really don't want to comply with. The 8am Sunday gym group you were guilt-tripped into joining. The work dinner. The speaking event. The volunteering shift. The baby shower.

EXTRAS
