OK, admit it. You know someone who just won’t shut up. He or she goes on and on when you’re on your mobile. You try to drop some hints, but you’re a polite person and can’t bring yourself to be rude. So, you suffer.

The “Xcuse Box” was designed with people like you and me in mind. You’ll love the handy keychain because you’ll want to keep this little device as close to your mobile as possible. When that annoying friend calls and you forget to screen, you can press a button on the Excuse Box and choose one of 10 handy excuses.

The prerecorded excuses run the gamut, from a baby crying to satellite trouble. Each one, the company says, is professionally done, so it sounds like just what it says it is.
