doublebooked 

A term used by someone to get out of a commitment at the last minute due to ignorance, lack of communication or being strong-armed by another individual. People who use doublebooked as an excuse for such an act usually try to lay blame on anyone but themselves, such as a family member or friend, instead of taking responsibility for their disappointing behavior.
