For anyone who made plans three days ago and deeply resents the person they were three days ago.
At the time, dinner sounded fun.
You had energy. Optimism. Perhaps even a vague desire to leave the house.
Unfortunately, the day of the plans has now arrived.
100 Polite Excuses to Cancel Plans - for the Classy & Sassy is a funny, painfully relatable little book for introverts, homebodies, tired adults, recovering people-pleasers, chronic overcommitters, and anyone who has ever discovered that their social battery mysteriously reaches 1% approximately thirty minutes before they are supposed to leave.
Inside are 100 polite, ridiculous, and surprisingly usable ways to cancel plans, including:
- I fully intended to come when I made these plans. That version of me was wildly optimistic.
- I'm sorry, but the thought of getting ready has become the final boss of my day.
- I need to cancel. Unfortunately, I sat down.
- Can we rain-check? I've already changed into clothes that cannot legally be worn outside.
- I'm sorry, but I've reached the portion of the week where I can no longer be perceived.
Some excuses are honest. Some are suspiciously honest. And some simply acknowledge the universal human experience of making plans while temporarily forgetting that eventually you will have to attend them.
The perfect funny little gift for:
- Introverts and homebodies
- Friends who cancel plans with each other
- Anyone with a permanently low social battery
- Tired millennials and exhausted adults
- Overthinkers and recovering people-pleasers
- Coworkers who would rather be home
- Your favorite chronically unavailable friend
- Anyone who considers pajamas an irreversible decision
Keep it on your coffee table. Leave it beside your bed. Give it to the friend whose favorite text message is Can we reschedule?
Or simply open it the next time you need reassurance that wanting a quiet night at home does not require a 600-word apology.
Because you genuinely did want to go when you made the plans.
Things have changed.
