It looks like a general purpose excuse list, like those greetings cards which say "Sorry I forgot your birthday" and have a checklist of possible "excuses".
Again, not the pinnacle of good taste, but nowhere near as bad as people are saying.

on the downside: I bet it means that ill have to stress test everything twice. Also it may yet be shit.
