    people make excuses so they dont have to deal with the consequences of what they did or didnt do. they are usually the people who want the easy way out of everything

    Its a bad habbit to get into. I use to be real bad at it. I would find myself making up excuses instead of just getting the work done. I've recognized the problem though and I've gotten a lot better. As far as promises go, sometimes its hard to know. I relize now that I would make promises just to make people happy. BIG MISTAKE. Those are the worst promises bacasue they are so hard to keep (and sometimes impossible). I take someone has made you angry by making lots of excuses?
