When a friend tells you to come to a party because lots of girls are coming too. When you get to the party there is one hot girl and your friend calls dibs.
Friend- "hey man, you should come to this party! There are going to be so many hot girls!"
You- go to party
Friend- "sorry bro, there is only one hot girl, and I called dibs already"
You- such an Evan Promise...

They said I could save hundreds of dollars per year on my car insurance, but that was compared to someone who never shops around, and has had the same policy for 10 years. It's always cheaper to switch to any other insurance company after a couple of years, so it was a total toothpaste promise.

Quoting someone a large time range for something to occur, even though it will probably happen much sooner.
I always have to tell my customers that they'll get an e-mail within 24-48 hours, even though they get it immediately.
Ah, a good ol' bureaucratic promise. You just know that one person didn't get that e-mail within 30 seconds and they were pissed; so now, you have to tell everyone they'll get it within 24-48 hours.
