Things that Irritate Desi #928,374

Excuses.

I do it, too. I'm trying to stop, though.

If you don't want to do something, or do want to do something, just say it. Just do it. Don't make up lame excuses to try to justify your behavior.

Most of the time, the excuses aren't even valid.

In the interest of fairness: I make excuses for how we as a family spend our time. I can't ever say, "Oh, we just didn't feel like doing that, so we stayed home." I feel like I have to offer excuses for our behavior. I hate that I do that.
