My step-dad has a new phrase. It's his defense mechanism for when my mom asks him to do something. Although it's become more humorous than effective since he's been abusing it, but none-the-less, he tries this as his first excuse.
"I don't know how to do that."
Example:
"Can you fix the hinges on the horse trailer?"
"I don't know how to do that."
"Jeff, can you put away the dishes?"
"I don't know how to do that."
"Can you bring your laundry upstairs?"
"I don't know how to do that."
Clearly this excuse doesn't work all of the time. Although, if you use this you'll probably have about ten seconds to walk away before the other person has time to say "What do you mean?" or "How do you not know how to take the dog for a walk?"
Hope this helped!
