Reasons to disappear for a few hours

[Emma Alexandra 123366]

I was thinking some of you may need excuses to tell your S/O so you can make time to see us. Tis the season for the number 1 excuse you could use:

Going Holiday Shopping

also

Forgot your phone in the car

battery died

doctor appointment

 

Now others can add to the list..

kisses,

Emma A

[Meg O'Ryan 266444]

Having the car winterized (don't just use the snow tire excuse, go the whole nine yards...fluid changes etc...)

 

Join a gym (gotta work out before all the holiday food kicks in)

 

Xmas parties (office, clients, suppliers, buddies use em all!!!)

 

Luncheons (same idea as parties)

[moonshadow 369]

I like the fluid change one meg. Seems appropriate.

 

Some of mine are:

Going golfing(spring,summer,and fall seasons);

Going night sking(winter season);

Going to doctor or dentist(during regular work hours);

Going for after work drinks with colleagues(during regular work days);

Going to a sens game with a friend who has an extra ticket(during hock season when there is a home game);

Going home early from work because a kid is sick( during school days);

 

Looking forward to seeing what other people have to say cause I'm running

low on excuses...

You guys are too much, LOL!:D

I heard this one recently

" I am suppost to be out "with the boys"

[72Nova 116]

Lunches and meetings work well. I've used "had to go get my skates sharpened" before. Odd euphemism, when you think about it...

I've found "Going to Starbucks" doesn't really work.

 

"Having a meeting at the bank" is a good one, as their head branches usually located near downtown hotels, they can take a couple of hour, and there is literally zero physical evidence required. Perhaps a hastily assembled file folder of random number printouts with important-sounding notes written on them. Plus, you can say you ended up making a couple of deposits!

[geo007 203]

Going skating at the ice rink....

 

 

Going to visit my brother for a while (who is also a hobbyist)

 

I haven't tried `` going for fu!! for a change`` Don't think it would go over very well.....

I would not try these, as she could ask for material evidence...

 

gone to the movies, perhaps some dumb action movie she wouldn't care for...

but you have to be ready to say you toss the ticket stub...

[Guest Ou**or**n]

As I prefer to hobby mid-evening it's always tough finding an excuse to be out for around 2 hours and being completely unavailable by phone or text during that time.

 

-a movie with a friend (nails the cell phone issue)

-a movie at a friends (dang, left my cell in my coat pocket)

-poker game at a friends (oops, somehow the cell got switched to vibrate)

-late dinner with a relative (noisy restaurant drowned out the cell)

-shopping (forgot the cell in the car)

 

The tough ever connected life of a single parent...

this one takes some build up time...but...

 

a few days before the day you want to hobby fake a really bad tooth ache....

 

the day of say that a friend recommended his dentist as hes cheaper (she'll appreciate the cost-cutting and this takes away from her potentially asking your family dentist, if you share one, if you actually did come in)

 

say you went to that dentist and he found a really small but deep cavity....bonus points if you fake your mouth being numb and request soup instead of your regular dinner...who knows, you might even get babied by your SO later ;-)

[Winnipegcub 21293]

And if you really want this to work you can always bring pliers and on the way home give the old tooth yank. Now thats commitment to the story.

It might work but likely only once.

How about:

 

• You witnessed a traffic accident and have to file a police report
  
• You're doing volunteer work
  
• You're helping a friend or colleague move something from one place to another
  
• Your back is bothering you; you need to see a massage therapist or a chiropractor
  
• An old friend from university is in town and wants to get together
  
• You finally made an appointment with a personal trainer at the gym
  

[roamingguy 300291]

One I can use, and it's sorta true

Got a blind date, but I've been told she is beautiful and has a great personality too

That so far has been pretty much true in my experience.

But you need to be single...oh, I am single

The following can usually only be used once:

 

"I was driving to.....and I noticed the car was making a really strange noise. I decided to pull into a garage to see what the problem was. I ended up waiting over an hour for my turn on the hoist and it turns out it was just(insert benign mechanical problem)Guy didn't even charge me!"

[Loki318 1631]

I'm saveing this one for a special occassion .....

"I had a flat tire and no spare ! missed the ferry home...thats good for a whole night:) "

Have to make a run to Home Depot.

 

Helping buddy work on his car (if you're so inclined).

 

Helping buddy finish his deck.

 

Going ice fishing (brrrr).

 

Playing paintball with the guys.

 

Helping buddy close up his cottage (guys only event)

 

Forgot something important at work - have to make a run there and back.

 

Let cell phone drain down. Flat tire excuse - put on donut, drove to Canadian Tire. call from payphone or courtesy desk and tell her your battery is ead. Tell her there's a wait to fix the leak, so you're just going to browse the Walmart or whatever near by (make sure you're around a route you would take and that there are other big box stores - good for at least an hour).

Going ice fishing...there are ways to warm up in the ice huts

And when you go home with no fish, just say skunked again

Hey, that could be code for a good time
