Anybody ever lie to get out of stuff you didn't wanna do? Maybe getting out of school, work, a boring thing with your wife, husband or girlfriend, etc..

I'm just curious as to what lengths some have gone to avoid things or get out of doing something you can't stand.

I'm sure I've told people "I already have plans" or "I've been sick for a couple of days" or something like that to get out of going to certain things.  But I can't recall any "great" lies I've told.

I've lied to get out of family-related crap that I have no interest in.  Or when my sister wants me to hang out with her and her doofy boyfriend.

I used to get out of family gatherings by saying I had to work that weekend. Then I'd take a few movies into the empty office, and have an afternoon of movies, video games, web surfing and solitude.

Depended on which relatives were going to be there, of course. I didn't shun all family obligations. Just the ones that promised to be stressful. Still a relatively high proportion though.

And as an aside, thanks for the title of this thread. Now I'll have the Thompson Twins stuck in my head all day.

Just the other week I said I had a "bad stomach" so I could avoid drinking alcohol with a few colleagues at work during night shift. I'm a social drinker but truth is, I really don't like alcohol.
Besides, we had a few shots of Jägermeister the night before AND the night before that. Once is enough, twice is pushing it  Thumbdown

I once got stupid drunk at a party with a girl I was trying to put the moves on. I was drinking so much, that I ended up vomiting on my coat. When we were about to leave, she noticed the vomit and asked me what happened. I told her that someone at the party threw up on my coat.

She felt so bad about it, since she invited me to the party, and was really trying to make sure I had a good time. We ended up going back to her place and... well, having a little party of our own. ;)

Well, technically it was the truth.

In a science class in high school, one assignment was to go home and find fossils and bring them in. Well, I had other things going on, so instead I brought in a bag of fossils from a museum gift shop.

The teacher took one glance and was like, "So you found these, huh?"

I said, "Um, yeah..."

"Around here?"

"They came from around here." (The gift shop was technically "around here.")

He then praised me all theatrically to the class for working extra hard on the assignment, since I'd apparently had to travel all the way to (I think he said) India, the nearest place the fossils I had were found..."

That was great...

So, you kissed her (and whatever else you did) with puke breath under false pretenses?

I don't have any truly great stories but I have used "I'm sick" or "I have plans" to get out of things.

I'm pretty sure I cleaned myself up a little bit, prior to doin the deed, but she was totally with it, so yeah, I proceeded.

Hi there!

Not truly great lies, mostly to get out of class because of the temp or the class being a complete ass of itself.

One of my truly brilliant ones was the time when I told my then-girlfriend that I was low on money, and couldn't afford to go on a trip with her. Truth be told, I had recently received a large check for a good chunk of change. What was great about it was that the money I would have had for a trip (which mostly she wanted) I had all to myself, and used it to get a new gaming system, surround sound speakers, and 42 inch plasma tv.

I had to hide all of this from her for... oh about 2 or 3 weeks after I got them, and eventually, I think we did go on a trip together, albeit less extravagant than the one originally planned. I'm a nice guy like that. :)

The best part was I got loads of cool stuff, she never found out, and I saved myself a ton of cash on a trip I wasn't too enthusiastic about going to in the first place.
