“I am so sorry, but …” Although the “random excuse generator” pictured below (play around with it here for yourself; hat tip: @pickover) is quite crude–awkward even–it does a fairly decent job of coming up with good excuses! Maybe if this random excuse generator combined forces with an online writing assistant like “Grammarly” it could revolutionize the business and academic communities, where so much time is wasted in unproductive meetings.
