The Double Booking

Do you lie and say you are sick?

The Double Booking

You agree to help a friend move house on a Saturday morning. On Friday night, someone you have been trying to date for six months asks you out for a day trip, and it has to be Saturday. Your friend has no money for a removal van but has a few other people helping.

Do you lie and say you are sick?

Then ask

  • What excuse would you use?
  • Would you cancel on the date to carry boxes?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
