"My friend is having an emotional crisis and I have to go take care of her"
This is what friends are for right? Boys should know that no bond is closer than two best friends, so blaming your BFF's breakup and subsequent breakdown is totally cool. Also, if you use this excuse, you won't have to answer your phone because you are obviously all wrapped up in spoon feeding your bestie Ben & Jerry's and drying her tears while watching Bridget Jones' Diary.
