Were you late for work this morning? Or have you just remembered that it’s your girlfriend’s birthday? Well, fear not, as there’s a brand new Irish service offering up excuses to anyone that needs them.
We all need a good excuse from time to time, but when you’re put on the spot, or if you’ve forgotten something really important then it can be tough to think of a good excuse. That’s where 'An excuse for any occasion™’ comes in handy.
Here’s what the ad says over on Adverts.ie: “Do you ever find yourself stuck for a good excuse, in a situation you would like to avoid, done or said something you shouldn’t have - late for work, want to avoid dinner with the in-laws, caught looking at your girlfriends hot friends, Missed birthdays, anniversaries, funeral, weddings etc… Well Fear not – Salvation is only a couple of clicks away.”
As for the cost, it’s pretty reasonable. A once off excuse will set you back €2.99, a weekly 'blag' costs just €6.99 and the yearly package, or the ‘big kahuna’ as they call it, will set you back €206.99.
And there’s a special offer too: “Available all year round: If you quote a line from my favourite Bob Marley song receive a 25% discount off first purchase.”
But what if you don't have the cold hard cash to pay for your excuse? Well, worry not, as 'An excuse for any occasion™' will take more than just money: "iTunes Gift Card - Just send me some good tunes and we will call it quits. (Any trashy pop or euro disco and I will put a curse on you – I am half Donegal half Voodoo).
"Hugs - Offer to accept hugs as a payment method will have to be reviewed on a case by case basis. I got stung badly in the past - not going down that road again."
Okay, so it’s obviously a piss take, but it’s absolutely hilarious and a great read (especially the ‘What people are saying’ section).
