Does what it says on the box. Occasionally excuses are repeated, and not all of them are generic enough to be useful for every sort of programmer. But it’s fun to pull up random excuses sometimes. The only suggestion I have would be that the excuse should copy to the clipboard when clicked on in the menu. This way it can be pasted into an email or IM. Still, it’s a clever app that made me smile, so 5 stars for this one.

When someone's standing at your office door impatiently asking you why the project is behind schedule, pause of a second saying, "hold on - I'll check..." Pull down the Programming Excuses menu item and robotically read the results. "The project manager told me to do it that way."
