" Guys know we&amp;#x27;re all too smart and savvy to buy the old &amp;quot;Oh, I&amp;#x27;ve been really busy at work&amp;quot; excuse when they disappear on us for a few weeks at a time, so some of them are really working to come up with a new excuse to get past our BS-o-meter. Unfortunately, only a total moron would think THIS would work. And &amp;quot;total moron&amp;quot; is not just my opinion; it&amp;#x27;s the opinion of the New York City cops who had to deal with this sketchy boyfriend. After spending two weeks away from his Brooklyn home without telling his girlfriend, Rahmell Pettway, a 36-year-old who really should have manned up and told the truth, attempted to fake his own kidnapping. Evidently the police found him with his hands, legs, and mouth covered with duct tape, complaining of pain in his ribs and looking beaten-up. He claimed to have been kidnapped weeks earlier and to be unable to remember what had happened. But his story fell apart when the officers noticed that the roll of duct tape was still dangling from his wrist. He eventually confessed his scheme and was arrested for filing a false report. In my professional opinion as a former lawyer (and idiot dater), he will likely be charged and found guilty of one count of Being the Biggest Idiot I Ever Dated by his poor girlfriend, who luckily by now should at least never want him to call her again. Seriously, what is up with people like this? And what&amp;#x27;s the lamest excuse a guy&amp;#x27;s ever given you for neglectful behavior?
