Breakfest Topic: Excuses, excuses...
After winning the rare Dal'rend's sword off the second boss in UBRS, our warrior explained to us that he was grounded and had to go -- leaving the rest of the group without a tank barely into the instance. (Particularly irritating me because this same warrior had begged me to drop what I was doing and come to heal for the group in the first place.) Of course, that's certainly not the most amusing excuse I've heard -- that award would have to go to a member of another group whom, several times into the run, left the group saying "BRB, the cows have gotten out." (Which, true or just an excuse to escape, amused the rest of the group to no end. So what are the most interesting, amusing, or downright annoying excuses you've come across in the game?Filed under: Breakfast Topics

A favorite on my server is "My dog's on fire, AFK".

"Gotta go. Need sleep"

Once,
"Teachers coming! AFK"
I laughed hard.
Like teachers ever actually walk around the room.
He was the MH in our group. but we were just in WC and on second boss. so no big.

"Mom needs to use the computer"
"Dinner is ready, Gotta go"

"The coffee pot just exploded..."
"Eek! My parents are coming!" (This at 3:00 AM, from one of our younger guild members)
And the absolute winner, from a female priest in our guild...
"Oh god...gotta run...just wet my pants..."

a long time ago in SFK a lock goes link dead in the middle of the run after an "OH S^*T!". a couple of hours later, long after we had finished without him, he was considerate enough to offer the story of how his computer had caught fire "again".

I would have to say that it is rather irritating to hear, when almost done with an instance that everyone needs, "Hey, sorry guys. I have to run my friend through [insert random instance here]. I'll come back and help you guys if I still have time."

Just the other night while in SM
Druid: "So sorry, but i have to go, my dad's mad at me"
Me: "just go take the trash out, that will make him happy"
Druid: "Actually, i didnt take it out, thats why he's pissed"

Several months ago in the middle of BFD:
"gtg my mom has to cut my nails"

Heard this one just last night from a female priest.
"Oh god the t.v. just fell on my kid."

During a Molten Core run, one of our Hunters said,
"I gotta go, my Sister needs to use the computer to get on myspace.com"
We were about to do Magmadar when he said that.

GTG, G/F LFG
None of us complained about that one.

2 weeks now, 2 different people in the core have used this similar excuse on use
"whoa, there are cops outside my door, gtg"
and last week we also got
"I gotta drive my friend to the hospital, he has a gash on his arm"

I got this from the forums somewhere, and I like to drop it into party chat now and then:
Sh*t! cops here, getting my gun brb

A friend of mine said: "GTG-My dishwasher just flooded my kitchen".

Not exactly the most encouraging thing to say at the start of ST.Me:"How long has every1 got?"
Mage: "Until my bro kicks me off"
5 mins later......
"Gtg. bro kiked me off"
Clementure Sep 13th 2006 1:46PM
You've seen variations of this one above. I got this in Scholo:
"Got to go! The cops have just arrested my son!"
Lazarus Sep 13th 2006 2:04PM
Gotta be one from a friend of mine:
"BRB, wife leaving me"
