"Something important came up, I have to go. "

I think his point is, if there is something important you had to leave and go do...why do you care about a 15 minute in game penalty??

Go put out the fire in your kitchen. Go take Grandma to 7-11 and get a slurpee. Go do whatever it is you needed.
If you just wanted to leave to leave, then you should just suck it and take the penalty too.

Precisely. But none of that actually seemed to be happening. The party just stood there for the next three to four minutes wondering why they wouldn't leave on their own if it was so gosh darn important. It's disgusting and needs to be put down.
