Rescu.me Calls or Texts Your Phone for a Pre-Scheduled Escape Interruption If you're looking for a way to escape from a situation with a fake text or phone call to pull you away, Rescu.me automates the process and dispatches text messages and phone calls on demand.

While we're huge fans of just being direct and excusing yourself when you've realized a situation isn't panning out the way you'd expected, Rescu.me offers a "It's not you, it's this darn emergency I have to attend to" way to wiggle your way out of awkward situations.

Text SMS X your message here or CALL X where SMS/CALL indicates if you want a text message or phone call and X indicates the number of minutes to delay the interruption. You can customize the text or voice message by appending your request with an alternative message.

For an alternative interruption generator that includes a script you can talk right along with, check out previously reviewed Popularity Dialer. Rescu.me is a free service but regular text messaging rates apply. Have a favorite tool for staging a needed interruption? Let's hear about it in the comments.
