The excuse that finally stopped working

[Alan]

I used "have to work early tomorrow" for years until everyone caught on that I always say that. Now nobody believes me even when it's true. What excuse did you overuse until people stopped buying it? How'd you get caught?

I used the “stuck at work” excuse way too much

Being honest is always the best way to go, there's no need to make things sound better than they are.
