Hillary Clinton tried to use a very relatable trick to skip Trump's inauguration, but alas, it didn't work

Hey, it's October and here we are, still talking about President Donald Trump's inauguration.

Hillary Clinton was on The Graham Norton Show on Friday to promote the release of her book What Happened when the two got talking about Trump's inauguration in January, which she attended alongside other former presidents and their spouses. 

Obviously, Clinton, who won the popular vote by 3 million but lost the election due to the Electoral College, didn't really feel like going to Trump's inauguration. So she tried to get out of it the same way anyone tries to get out of a social gathering they don't want to attend.

Clinton reveals that she called around to other former presidents just to see if anyone was going to sit this one out. Once the Clintons discovered that everyone (aside from the senior Bushes, who were in the hospital) was going, they realized it would look really bad if they didn't attend, so they went. 

Regardless of your political affiliation, we can all relate to trying to get out of a party you just don't want to go to.
