Sharpexit.com gives you an excuse to leave your date

Picture_6_9This is totally wicked. I love it. Sharpexit is a text service which will give you proper excuse to get out of a date, meeting or quit the office early. Ostensibly all you have to do is knock up a text message thus: EXIT 10 (where ’10’ is the amount of minutes delay before Sharpexit calls you) and text it to 80010. You can also text a 24 hour time like ’17:30pm’.

Here’s how it works (from the site):

– Your phone will ring in the number of minutes you texted.
– A recorded conversation will start.
– Play along with the scenario which is bound to be an urgent, have-to-leave one.
– Now the simple part – the conversation you just had requires your urgent attention.
– Make your excuses & leave the situation.
– Congratulations, you’ve just made a sharp exit

That is brilliant!

Picture_7_7But there’s more! You see when I first visited the site, I thought it was just a text message it sent out. But noooo. It’s actually a call 😉 I had a listen and it’s smart. You play along with the recorded message! By default, it’s a lost-my-keys script. It’ll genuine to the person you’re trying to escape from as well because the message leaves gaps for you to go ‘ahhh, er… I dunno, I’m quite busy’… and then a few moments later, the message continues. Sounds like a proper phone call. Heh. I particularly like the ‘help, the mail server has gone down’ one 😉

I found the service just now on the Google Ads of 3gweek.net!

Check Sharpexit out on www.sharpexit.com — the service costs £1 per text.
