WHERE TO USE
Wherever life happens.
Which, if we’re being honest, is everywhere. Pardon doesn’t discriminate — and neither does the moment it’s for. Here’s where it earns its keep.
Four in a car. Zero exits.
You survived the gas station snacks. You survived the argument about the aux cord. Now you just need everyone else in row two to survive the next twelve miles. Windows are great. Red lights are not. Keep one in the console.
Road trip responsibly →
Your coworkers already know enough about you.
You survived the commute. You survived your inbox. You survived the meeting that should have been an email. This one doesn't need to make it into the notes. Keep Pardon in the top drawer and take the fifth on everything else.
Desk drawer essential →
Chemistry is good. That kind isn't.
The conversation is great. Dinner was great. Things are going well. Your stomach, apparently, has notes. Pardon helps keep the evening focused on the chemistry you actually wanted people to notice.
Keep the mystery alive →
22B changes a person.
The seatbelt sign is on. Your options are not. Both neighbors are trying very hard not to make eye contact. Clear the air at 35,000 feet — no flight attendant, no walk to the back galley, no questions asked.
Travel a little lighter →There are three suspects.
You. Your spouse. The dog. The dog cannot defend himself, and frankly, he's used to it. Keep one on the side table and let the accusations sort themselves out.
Fresh towels. Fresh sheets. Fresh air would be nice too.
Shared walls. Shared air. One suitcase. Pardon earns its place right next to the toothbrush — pack it before you need it, not after your roommate asks a question you can't answer.
Eleven floors is a long time.
There's no getting off early without it being weird. There's no cracking a window. There's also no reason anyone needs to know which floor was the problem.
Recognize any of these?
Good. That means you need one.
Basically: if you leave the house, bring one. If you don’t leave the house, bring one anyway.
