We've all been there before — it's a regular Tuesday night and you just want to watch Netflix and stay in bed, though your friends want you try a new restaurant with them. So you do what everyone else does: come up with an excuse, a white lie, and stay warm in bed, deliriously happy not to be outside.
If you've run out of excuses or just need a handy list for the next time you need to flake, we've come up with the most popular and accepted texts we send. Sure, honesty is the best policy but sometimes you want to keep it to yourself that you're rewatching Gilmore Girls again.
