Grandma: “Where are you?”

You: “School why?”

Grandma: “You did not go to school they called me. You missed three classes at school and you owe paper work and forms for me to sign that you have not handed in. Are you dropping out of school????”

You: “I was late that was why, it happened in Warwick multiple times. I have the paper work but you kinda haven't been home every single day I get home from school”

You (cont): “And no I'm not dropping out”

You (again): “Now I gotta go, I have global right now. I need to makeup work”

You attends class///

Grandma: “They will not keep you in school if you continue not to go. You can always put the paper work in my mailbox for me to sign. No excuses for this You, you need to attend classes in order to graduate and move on with your life. Think about it

You: “I have been attending. It would be nice for me to have it quickly signed and I can take it where I’m staying so I can hand it in immediately, and it’s not excuses. It’s just me giving reasons that you don’t agree with or like”

grooming excuse

Any use of a feeble, or implausible excuse used by someone to escape from a conversation on a mind-numbing, or uninteresting topic for the listener. Refers to someone explaining their preference to 'wash their hair', 'do their nails' or some other such excuse, which would be an otherwise less desirable chore than having to suffer through listening to such a boring conversation.

These excuses were popular in sit-coms, where the lead actor wanted to extract laughter from the audience with the punchline illustrating the implausibility of the excuse being believed by the recipient.
Claire: When I came back with your wine you'd already left. What happened?
