Welcome to the annual Opting out of Opting Out Awards, where we celebrate the most innovative ways to decline participation, reject involvement, and politely tell people you're not interested!
The winner of this year's award goes to 'Not Now' for their innovative approach to saying no, which included a well-placed 'maybe later' and a healthy dose of eye-averting.
The winner of this year's award goes to 'I'm Sorry, But...' for their masterful use of the phrase to extricate themselves from social engagements and commitments.
The winner of this year's award, in the category of Most Likely to be Ignored, goes to 'The Cat Has Your Back', for their impressive ability to deflect responsibility with a well-placed feline.
Stay tuned for more winners!
