Las 21 mejores excusas para salir de casa (con ejemplos)
Oh no, you need to leave the house, but for some reason, you can’t share the details of where you’re REALMENTE yendo. Apenas puedes soportar esa sensación de ansiedad cuando piensas en contarle la verdad a tus padres, a tu pareja o a otra persona.
Worry not, I won’t dive deeper into it because you have your own reasons you’re doing something (or not).
I’m not here to judge but help you find the best excuses to leave the house because I myself have been in the same situation multiple times.
I’m a terrible liar by nature, but somehow, I’ve managed to convince others that I’m telling the truth. ¿Sabes cómo lo hice? Presté especial atención a todos y cada uno de los detalles de mi historia cuidadosamente ideada.
I would go through it over and over in my head until I myself started to believe that I was telling the truth. ? (That’s how you know you’re doing it right.)

Las mejores excusas para salir de casa
Medical appointments, group projects, going to the gym… La lista de excusas perfectas para salir de casa nunca ha sido tan convincente. ? Elija la(s) mejor(es) según su situación:
1. Salir a pasear

Do you know what the most famous sentence in movies is? It’s definitely this one: “Honey, I need to get some fresh air.” And it works every single time!
Nadie se atrevería a sospechar de una persona que necesita aire fresco. That’s why it’s one of the most famous excuses to leave the house.
Por ejemplo: “Hey, I’m going for a walk. I really need to get some fresh air.”
2. “I’ve lost my wallet”
Oh, no, you’ve lost your wallet?! This is one of the best excuses to get out of the house, but it’s also one of the most challenging. Why? Because you need to be convincing!
You can’t just say “I’ve lost my wallet” in a plain tone. Necesitas crear algo de drama para que los demás se lo crean de verdad. ? ¿Crees que puedes hacerlo?
Por ejemplo: “OMG, I’ve lost my wallet! It must be (the place you last visited).”
3. Ir a la tienda
This is a tricky one. Remember that you can’t just tell your parents or partner that you’re going to the store without returning home with something you bought.
Así que lo mejor que puedes hacer es comprar algunas cosas necesarias como tampones o una maquinilla de afeitar que realmente necesites en ese momento. Make it quick, and then go to your real destination while pretending that you’re still in the queue.
Ejemplo para cuando te vayas: “Hey, I’m going to the store. Do you need anything?”
Ejemplo para cuando vuelvas: “I was stuck in rush hour, and the queue at the grocery store was too long.”
4. Cita médica
Is there any better excuse than a doctor or dentist appointment? I bet there isn’t. This can also be a great excuse to leave work early, or you can simply take a sick day.
Por ejemplo: “I have an appointment with the dentist/doctor. This toothache (or some other ache) has been killing me for days.”
5. 5. Trabajo en equipo

Si trabajas en una empresa en la que suelen organizar actividades de team-building para sus trabajadores, puedes utilizar esto a tu favor.
Tell your partner that your company is organizing team-building activities, and you simply can’t miss it. Asegúrate de que un compañero de trabajo que también sea tu amigo te lo confirma.
Por ejemplo: “Our boss/project manager informed us about an upcoming team-building activity. We’ll probably spend the entire day doing (the activities you’ll be doing).”
6. Un amigo tiene una situación de emergencia
Emergency situations work every single time because you can’t abandon a friend in trouble, right? No one would ever question you if your friend has an emergency situation.
He aquí algunos ejemplos:
• A friend’s car broke down.
• A friend needs medical help.
• A friend got arrested.
• A friend got locked in the bathroom.
• A friend’s family member needs medical help.
7. El perro necesita un LARGO paseo
If you have a dog, then you’re a perfect candidate for this brilliant excuse. If your dog looks bored, then the situation couldn’t be more ideal.
Por ejemplo: “I’m taking (the name of the dog) out for a walk. Just look at how bored he/she is.”
8. 8. Proyecto de grupo
If you need a valid excuse to go out with friends, group projects are your best bet! It’s one of the most valid reasons for sneaking out if you’re a high-school or college student.
Los proyectos de grupo requieren la contribución de todo el grupo. No puedes cancelar o dejar que otros hagan tu parte del proyecto.
Por ejemplo: “I’ll need to work on a group project today with the rest of my colleagues. The project is about (think of something smart).”
9. Ir al gimnasio

It’s time for a mental health day and some sweating! Pretending that you don’t feel good and need an endorphin boost is always a great excuse to leave the house. However, keep in mind that you’ll need to dress like you’re actually going to the gym.
PRO TIP: On your way back (from wherever you were), sprinkle some water on your T-shirt and head so that it looks like you’ve been sweating.
Por ejemplo: “Yo, gotta hit the gym because I ain’t feeling well today. I need my exercise boost.”
10. Ir al salón de belleza
The great thing about the beauty salon is that they don’t only do hair there. You can go for a massage, wax, facial, you name it.
What I’m trying to say is that you don’t need to come home with a new haircut to prove that you’ve been to the beauty salon.
A wax, massage, or other things won’t even be seen, right? That’s why it’s one of the best excuses to leave the house.
Por ejemplo: “I’m going to the beauty salon. Got an appointment for a facial.”

11. Ir al cine
Un consejo extra: Asegúrate de ver al menos el tráiler de la película para poder contar el argumento si te preguntan por ella.
Por ejemplo: “OMG, we’re finally going to the cinema on Friday. I’m so excited about seeing (the name of the movie).”
12. Your friend’s family needs a helping hand
Yup, this excuse is also on the list of good excuses to leave the house because it’s totally valid. If your friend’s family needs a helping hand, who are you to say no to them, right? ?
Tomorrow maybe you’ll be the one who needs help, and that’s why friends are there (not only for that, of course).
Por ejemplo: “My friend’s mom needs help lifting heavy boxes of (something).”
13. “I’ve lost my phone”

Oops, you lost your phone! Make sure that your facial expressions are in tune with the situation. If you lose your phone, you’ll clearly be annoyed and worried about it. Practice in front of the mirror (if needed).
Y sí, poner el teléfono en silencio es recomendable (por si empiezan a llamarte). So, when you find your phone, make sure to make a phone call. Call your parents or partner so that they know “you found it.”
Por ejemplo: “Have you seen my phone? I can’t believe I’ve lost it. I’ll go see if it’s (someplace far away from home).”
14. “I’ve left something at the park”
Para utilizar esta excusa, tienes que ir previamente al parque. So, when you come back, you can tell your partner or your parents that you’ve left something at the park. Ese algo puede ser cualquier cosa. Podrían ser unas notas para el trabajo, tu teléfono, lo que quieras.
If you’re a high school or college student, you can tell your parents that you left your notebook at the park. Just make sure you come back with one. ?
Por ejemplo: “Oh no, I’ve left my (something) at the park. Be right back!”
15. Oír un ruido extraño en el exterior
Si pensabas que esto sólo funciona en las películas, no sabes lo equivocado que estás. Oír un ruido extraño fuera es una excusa brillante para salir de casa.
Sin embargo, tenga en cuenta que el mero hecho de oír un ruido extraño en el exterior no le garantizará una noche divertida. Pero si necesitas salir rápidamente de casa, entonces funcionará.
Por ejemplo: “Did you hear that? (*worried face*) Did you hear that strange noise outside? Gotta see what’s going on there! You stay here.”
16. Doble turno en el trabajo
Si necesitas excusas fáciles para salir de casa por la noche, trabajar en doble turno es tu mejor amigo. Eso sí, asegúrate de que tu compañero de trabajo lo confirma (por si tu pareja lo menciona delante de él).
Por ejemplo: “Honey, I won’t be home tonight. Gotta work a double shift today because (one of your colleagues) is sick.”
17. Studying at a friend’s house

If you need one of the best excuses to leave the house for a few hours, then studying at a friend’s house will do the job. Also, it would be great if your friend’s parents could confirm it just in case your parents are suspicious about it.
Por ejemplo: “Mom/dad, I’m going to study at (your friend’s name) house. We have a lot of material to go through, so don’t expect me back anytime soon.”
18. Hacerse voluntario
Tell your loved one or your parents that you decided to become a volunteer. I’m sure they’ll support your decision. A problem might arise if your partner or your parents ask to join you. Well, let’s hope they don’t.
Por ejemplo: “I’ve become a volunteer at (the place of volunteering), and today, we have a lot of work to do.”
19. Asistir a una fiesta de cumpleaños
You simply cannot miss a birthday party, right? Here’s an idea. It would be great if you had some photos from past birthdays to show your partner or parents the next day.
Publicar una historia en las redes sociales para que sólo la vean ellos también es una buena idea. A sleepover is, of course, inevitable because you got drunk, and it’s not safe to drive like that. ?♀️
Por ejemplo: “Hey, I’m going to a birthday party tomorrow. My best friend’s sister is throwing a party, and we’re all invited.”
20. Ir a un concierto
Good old concerts! Before using this excuse, make sure that the event “you’re going to” actually exists. Find out about upcoming concerts in your area.
It’s totally okay if it’s something you don’t usually listen to. You can always say that this one singer or band is your best friend’s favorite of all time. Así que ya ha comprado entradas para los dos.
Por ejemplo: “I’m going to a concert next week. My friend just told me that he/she already got tickets, but if you don’t agree, I can tell him/her to sell mine to someone else.”
Of course, they won’t tell you to sell your ticket.
21. Necesidad de ir a la biblioteca
If you’re a student looking for excuses for sneaking out, the library is your best friend. No one will ever tell you: “No, you can’t go to the library.” Going to the library means being productive and doing something useful, right? That’s why it always works.
Por ejemplo: “Hey, I need to go to the library today. I need to do some research on (a certain topic).”

5 consejos adicionales para escaparse

Estos consejos adicionales harán que tu experiencia de escabullirte sea lo más fluida posible, así que asegúrate de memorizarlos todos:
1. Planifique su tiempo de ausencia
If you’re “going to a concert,” make sure to go at the appropriate time and day of that concert. If you’re going to the library or store, don’t go when they’re closed. Make it all seem natural, and make sure that you don’t spend half the day “at the store.”
2. La importancia de la sincronización perfecta
If your parents are strict, make sure you tell them that you’re going somewhere when they’re in a good mood. The best time would probably be around dinner when they’re relaxing. Also, don’t say your excuse in the middle of an argument with your partner.
3. Implement the “anger method” if they don’t trust you
I don’t know if you’ve ever tried it, but acting angry at those who don’t believe that you’re “telling the truth” works perfectly. You have every right to feel offended if they question the validity of your statements. Let’s say that you’re doing it for the greater good.
4. Deje una nota (si es necesario)
If your parents or partner aren’t at home and you need to leave ASAP, just leave a note on the fridge or somewhere else for them to see. Write down “where you’ll be” and also write when they can expect you home.
5. Presentar siempre pruebas
I agree that it’s not always possible to have proof of your whereabouts, but whenever you can, make sure to present it. For example, if “you’ve lost your phone,” make sure to call them once you find it.
Or if “you’ve gone to the library,” make sure to come back with a book or a few of them. (Your friends can always lend you some.)
La práctica hace al maestro

You could learn this list of excuses to leave the house by heart, but if you’re not convincing enough, you might not succeed. As always, practice makes perfect.
The more you use these excuses for sneaking out, the better you’ll get at it. I’m neither supporting you nor judging you. Sometimes a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.
Además, la Asociación Americana de Asesoramiento reminds us that “we live in a world where lying has become a fairly common occurrence.” So, who are we to contradict them, right? Cheers! ?
