I cannot really think of any I have heard lately.

I do not need any more. I have inventoried plenty that I call upon to justify a fault, avoid blame or release myself from obligation.

“This will never work out. Remember the last time you tried this? Who are you trying to kid?”

“I don’t need your help. I know what I am doing.”

“I had no idea it would take longer.”

“I didn’t mean that.”

“I thought I told you.”

“Next time, I will think/speak/act better.”

“I only did it because I care so much for you.”

“I am sorry.”

“It won’t happen again.”

One I never use but hear all of the time?

“My bad.”

Yuck.

It goes back to the old saying about us and excuses that refers to our common anatomical structure.

We all got one.
