Not to be rude, but I really gotta take a crap" - works every time.

Omg it’s almost like friends and family are interested in your life and missed hearing your voice, the horror!!!!
Saying no and being blunt are lost communicative arts - I implore all to try “I have to go now” or “I can only chat for a couple minutes,” or even “now is not a good time.” Granny knows when you’re just appeasing her.
