Using phobias as an excuse to get out of doing stuff

We all have to do stuff we don't like. Some people have to go to school. Some people get involved in never-ending phone calls with their old college buddies who insist on narrating their life stories. And some people have to attend family dinner parties, when they have more important things to do.

And how does anyone get out of something like that? Easy. By faking a phobia. It's so simple, yet ingenious. All you have to do is tell the person that you have a fear of said task, as shown in this example:

Friend: ...and that's why I no longer eat ice-cream.

Victim: Yeah, uh, I'd love to hear more, but I have boringconvophobia.

Then of course, there's the kid who hates school and find it un-necessary for life, which of course is true:

Teacher: Billy! Why haven't you done your homework?!

Billy: I have pointlesscrapophobia.
