Let's hear them. What good excuses have you used to throw someone off your trail to get in an afternoon or night at the club?
Like in my rules of strip clubbing article, my #1 is the stomach bug. It just says "leave me alone and don't ask any more questions."
The buffet closed.
Bacon!!
It's been a while, and I feel like it, usually works for me.
It's a day that ends in y
I need to get out of the house.
To do research for your Masters thesis
Playing poker.
If you are alive, it is wrong to sit home on the weekend and watch tv or play video games. Go be alive!
Let's just say that the pandemic and having to work from home required much more creative excuses. "Working late at the office" or not having to say anything for a day trip was never questioned. That didn't work quite so well when we were both working from home!
Migraine or stomach bug.
I am going to the strip club to have sex in the CR lol ...........
I'm also in that boat where I really almost never have to "throw anyone off my trail". But I have been in situations where either I made plans that I wasn't enthusiastic about (or those plans were made for me), and needed a diplomatic out.
That doesn't necessarily mean that I'm off to the strip club, but that has happened.
I'm single and I live alone. I don't need to come up with excuses.
I am letting little ET do the thinking !!!!
A colleague asked me what I love about business trips to Germany. I wanted to blurt out "FKKs" but instead went with the anodyne "sightseeing."
I just say I'm going for a ride and leave on my bike. She won't call me while I'm riding and even if she did she knows I won't answer. I often go on rides for a few hours or more, so it's nothing out of the ordinary. I'm not into "tech" except the bare necessities, so I'd never use blue tooth or buy a phone-friendly helmet. I rarely wear a jacket so the wind whipping through my shirt on the ride home helps with any suspicious scents from the club.
My usual routine when I get back from any ride is to immediately clean the wheels so the brake dust won't dull the chrome. If there's any fear of lingering smells, I just use the cleaning stuff like it was body spray. Oh, and if I've had a couple beers at the club, no problem. I have a fridge in the garage, so I just crack one open while I'm cleaning the bike.
And here's the real beauty of it. SHE insists that I head straight to the shower as soon as I come in the house. She doesn't want me sitting on the furniture after I've been riding because of dust and grime.
I could be in one of those Servpro commercials: "Like it never even happened."
For me often it's just check out a new strip club. It sort makes it an adventure.
I feel like some people misunderstood the question asked originally in the post, which is a very good one. The "bike ride" example is a good response, I'll try it sometime. The question, if I were to restate it: If* you needed an excuse whether it were to your family (I would think common) or colleagues or even kids - what are some good excuses. I usually go with the old, I have a meeting after work or have to take some clients or business contacts out for dinner. The latter is actually true, though I conveniently leave out where we go for "dessert." I do wish there was more daytime action. I never understand why not. I'm personally married with kids and I feel less bad visiting SCs in the afternoon or evening/early night. It's not a good look for a Dad to come home late into the night too often. And it makes me feel bad that the reason I was out so late (missing family life, bed time etc) was... well y'all know.
This thread is definitely an example of what happens when people only read the headline.
I have to go to the library and return some books. This excuse works whether the library is open or closed because the library has an after hours book drop. And those overdue book fines can really add up to some serious money.
"I rarely wear a jacket so the wind whipping through my shirt on the ride home helps with any suspicious scents from the club."
I think an additional benefit is the wind takes care of any stray strands of stripper hair that might find their way back home.
I do have a question about the bike excuse. But where do you leave the bike while you're actually in the strip club. I don't think there any bike racks to lock them up outside most strip clubs.
^ I assume @misterorange meant a motorcycle not a bicycle
Usually a business dinner or going to the casino or playing poker on a weekend night. Not especially creative, but usually effective.
I only club when I’m traveling for work so I usually have to talk MYSELF into it and my excuse to myself is “when else can I do this so I better buck up and deal with the late night out.”
I mostly go when I’m Vegas as I’m a good 30 min drive from nearest club where I live(and it’s not a place I’ve good things about). I make the excuse that I’m going to the casino so any smells or anything is easily waved off. Plus saying I lost a few hundred is really believable since most tables at night in big casinos are min $25.
The club is open
