What is the best excuse someone has given you in a STR?

[Paul Sandhu]

Had 2 guys reserve a house together a few days ago, they are both foreman for company that does refinery contracting work.  Today is the day they move in.  This morning one of the guys called me and said he needed a place just for himself, his wife and his 4 year old kid.  He said he didn't feel comfortable leaving his family back home by themselves because he had to shoot someone last night.  Said he just shot them in the leg, if that makes any difference.
