Worst excuses you have heard from Family/Friends/partners about anything?

I only get back to the UK once every 3 or 4 years for a week or so and spend my time rushing round like a headless chicken trying to fit it all in . I've 3 aunts who all live within a 5 mile radius on the South coast, last time I was over I said to each of them that I'd be at Auntie X's house on Friday afternoon and that I'd love to see them all , one Aunt's response was that they couldn't possibly make it as there was a film on TV that they didn't want to miss !!

It was my birthday, answered my front door in the afternoon to see my Sister, and brother-in-law - think what a pleasant surprise. Come on in I'll put the kettle on, sorry we're not stopping got a Wedding reception to go to!
On the one hand I think, why didn't you come earlier, on the other - par for the course - didn't visit before - or since.

I was stood up because 'my nan died' only she hadn't died, and she'd already 'died' the previous year when he stood me up another time (and once before that according to friends). And he went to her 'funeral', which meant his phone was switched off for 48 hours. Needless to say, I didn't believe the second 'death' and just watched in amazement, and amusement, as he dug himself deeper and deeper in to lies over the next few weeks.

Worst I heard was my OH's cousins husband deciding to go home during our wedding reception as he had to pick their new cat up. Wasn't until the next day we realised he wasn't coming back to pick the rest of the family up. The day after our wedding we had to drive 200 miles to take them home.

I once turned down a date with my now husband because i wanted to watch brookside ...i wasn't too impressed when he turned up to watch it with me !!

I was told "I can't see you tonight, I have to stay in and pour the sherry for my mothers bridge friends"

My twin who didn't send a card because he forgot it was my birthday. Had no problems remembering his own, oddly enough.

When I asked if I could pop round for a cuppa "Sorry I'm cleaning out the kitchen cupboards"....

"No I don't want to come to your cat's birthday party, because it's weird and you're becoming a freak.

And anyway, my dog's getting married that day."

When my sister was dying and was too ill to have visitors one day, she asked if we could come the next day instead. My mum's response was she couldn't come then as it was sheet washing day. Another favourite 'reason' why she can't do something is she has to go to the tip! It is a standing joke in the family now.
