Many excuses you've heard for getting a spot

[Snapshot9]

What are all the excuses you have heard for someone when they are
trying to get a spot? or that you have used to try to get one?

1) I haven't shot in a week. (why, did you forget where the pockets are)
2) My dog died, and I have been depressed, so you should give me ....
3) I haven't shot in 3 weeks (this is a favorite of players, cause everyone
knows you start to get rusty after 2 weeks)
4) I have to leave in an hour and I would have to have a real good spot
to stay longer.
5) I'm drunk (when you know they have only had 2 beers)
6) You beat so and so giving up the ..., so I would have the world plus one.

let's here some more ...

I know! I know! My cat died.

The most common one by far has to be the transitive spot property:

"I played <player x> last week and he drilled me 5 straight sets. I know <player x> plays <player y> even and you give <player y> the 8 wild and it's stealing...so I can't even try you without the wild 7 and the breaks."
