over the years i have been asked lots of times about my arms so i thought i would start a thread for excuse's that you have used when asked about scars and stuff
here are some that i have used sometimes with clients and kids if they ask when shopping
"What happened to your arms?"
"I work as a tiger tamer"

See, the thing with shadow boxing is, you have to remember that if you arent above fighting dirty neither is your shadow.... (then try and look a bit unhinged)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Person: What happened to your arm...?
You: My dog doesn't like to be bathed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey dude, i have little kittens at home.. They love to play.. With my hands
---------------------------------------------------------
person : what happened to your arms?!
You : What happened to your manners? ... * walk away *
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"What happened to your arm?"
"Ever try to hug a koala? They're not as cuddly as they look."
---------------------------------------------------------------
"What happened to your arm!"
"Oh, I got into an argument with a hat and coat rack the other morning."
----------------------------------------------------------------
What happened to my arms?? I got in a fight with Freddy Crugger and won

I love your answers! rotfl
I can't actually think of anything witty or anything to top yours! Is it wrong that I found them funny??! ::-\:
-
I don't tend to be witty with it. I just say I was ill and then move on...

no it isnt wroung i just think people shouldnt ask about the marks as if i say what they realy are they avoid me so i make up somthing stupid plus i hate nosy people
-
Yeah I totally agree with you. I think it's a bit rude. Mine are hidden so no-one sees them. I used bio oil on my arm and now they've all gone apart from the hidden ones :)

I work with children so they often ask, I alwys say" I was careless with a tool, so never use one without a grown up!" :party: :pirate:

i work with socail workers and when they have a trainie socail worker on placement and they ask about my arms i just say " Never p*ss off the boss her nails are sharp" said it in front of her once she just said "yep they are" rotfl

Haha I like that one :) It is good that your boss has a good sense of humour too ;D

For humour I say I am a lion tamer.
For more serious times I say I put my hand through a window.
After 10years in animal care though most people assume they're from animals though...

its useful working with paper work in a shop - i can say its paper cuts!!
-
I love these excuses sooo funny rotfl
I never show my scars at home cant cope with the judgment of people i know but just been to magaluf and pretented i didnt have scars caught a lot of people looking turned into a fun game of count the stares and try to catch their eye so they turn away embarrassed. Could never do it home though care too much about what people are thinking :hide:
-
I tend to go with the old favourite : The cat did it.
But I have also blamed drunken nights out, eg, falling into a thorn bush, broken glass, or for the burns- I didn't close my hot water bottle properly.
-
I simply say "I fell" Not always believable but its one i use to often it comes out without hesitation so people never really question me.
-
My scars are pretty serious they are right down my arms and on my neck and they are thick they don't look like paper cuts.
When Children ask me about my arms I say: 'When I am really feeling bad and hurting inside sometimes I take it out on myself but its not a good thing to do.'
When adults ask me I just come out with it.

When I was asked by my niece - I told her I was doing some gardening. Don't like to lie to kids but felt I had to on that occasion.
Have used (but not to kids!) - Went to hell, hell was sh**, these are the skidmarks
-
it depends who is asking.
i normally go with total silence and a 'what gives you the right to ask' kind of look.
if i know the person better i might tell them to use their imagination.
if someone asks more innocently sometimes i am honest. sometimes i just state a fact...'its a scar' or 'it was a cut'
(but then almost all of mine are upper arms and upper legs...the few that aren't can be passed off as clumsy accidents.
all rest on who, where and when. my watch being on a thick leather strap helps cover the only ones i have that are hard to explain.
