There was a long line ahead of me

Da "ultimate" in acceptable excuses for why it took you so long to finish shopping, processing'delivering bureaucratic paperwork, or otherwise conducting routine business.

Telling your having-impatiently-waited family or car-pool buddies, "There was a long line ahead of me" may indeed get you off da hook as far as their venting their seething wrath at you, but you yourself will likely find it very stressful (not to mention tiring on your achy legs and feet!) to have to cool your heels in line for so long, and so in the end you may feel similarly weakened and emotionally exhausted as you would have if you'd had to "face the music" because you **hadn't** had any plausible excuse for producing such a lengthy delay in finishing up.

Serial Monogamist

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.

Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
