    Handler’s app, officially named Chelsea Handler: Gotta Go, lets you set up a fake phone call or text message that can provide you with an excuse that you, well, gotta go. It’s perfect if you need to be saved from an endless planning meeting, unpleasant date, or from talking to your mother-in-law…

    “Oh, my god, I gotta go. So sorry.”

    Possible game changer right here, although surely you could just organise for a friend to call rather than using an app?
