21 melhores desculpas para sair de casa (com exemplos)
Oh no, you need to leave the house, but for some reason, you can’t share the details of where you’re REALMENTE a ir. Mal consegue suportar a sensação de ansiedade quando pensa em contar a verdade aos seus pais, ao seu parceiro ou a outra pessoa.
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. Sabem como é que eu o fiz? Prestei especial atenção a todos os pormenores da minha história cuidadosamente concebida.
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.)
Siga-me para mais dicas sobre como sair à socapa! É uma brincadeira. As melhores desculpas para sair de casa + exemplos estão à sua espera abaixo!
As melhores desculpas para sair de casa
Medical appointments, group projects, going to the gym… A lista de desculpas perfeitas para sair de casa nunca foi tão convincente. ? Escolha a(s) melhor(es) de acordo com a sua situação:
1. Dar um passeio
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!
Ninguém se atreveria a suspeitar de uma pessoa que está a precisar de ar fresco. That’s why it’s one of the most famous excuses to leave the house.
Exemplo: “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. É preciso criar algum drama para que os outros acreditem verdadeiramente! ? Achas que consegues fazer isso?
Exemplo: “OMG, I’ve lost my wallet! It must be (the place you last visited).”
3. Ir à loja
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.
Por isso, a sua melhor aposta é comprar algumas coisas necessárias, como tampões ou uma lâmina de barbear, de que precisa realmente no momento. Make it quick, and then go to your real destination while pretending that you’re still in the queue.
Exemplo para quando se vai embora: "Hey, I’m going to the store. Do you need anything?”
Exemplo para quando regressar: "I was stuck in rush hour, and the queue at the grocery store was too long.”
4. Consulta 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.
Exemplo: “I have an appointment with the dentist/doctor. This toothache (or some other ache) has been killing me for days.”
5. Formação de equipas
Se trabalha numa empresa que organiza habitualmente actividades de formação de equipas para os seus trabalhadores, pode utilizar este facto em seu benefício.
Tell your partner that your company is organizing team-building activities, and you simply can’t miss it. Certifique-se de que um colega de trabalho que também é seu amigo o confirma.
Exemplo: “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. Um amigo tem uma situação de emergência
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.
Eis alguns exemplos:
• 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. O cão está a precisar de um longo passeio
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.
Exemplo: “I’m taking (the name of the dog) out for a walk. Just look at how bored he/she is.”
8. Projeto 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.
Os projectos de grupo exigem o contributo de todo o grupo. Não pode cancelar ou deixar que outros façam a sua parte do projeto.
Exemplo: “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 ao ginásio
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.
Exemplo: “Yo, gotta hit the gym because I ain’t feeling well today. I need my exercise boost.”
10. Ir ao salão de beleza
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.
Exemplo: “I’m going to the beauty salon. Got an appointment for a facial.”

11. Ir ao cinema
Conselho extra: Certifica-te de que vês, pelo menos, o trailer do filme para poderes contar o enredo se te perguntarem sobre o filme.
Exemplo: “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).
Exemplo: “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).
E sim, é recomendável colocar o telemóvel no silêncio (para o caso de começarem a ligar-lhe). 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.”
Exemplo: “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 desculpa, é necessário ir previamente ao parque. So, when you come back, you can tell your partner or your parents that you’ve left something at the park. Esse algo pode ser qualquer coisa. Podem ser algumas notas para o trabalho, o seu telemóvel, o que quiser.
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. ?
Exemplo: “Oh no, I’ve left my (something) at the park. Be right back!”
15. Ouvir um ruído estranho no exterior
Se pensavas que isto só funcionava nos filmes, então não fazes ideia de como estás enganado. Ouvir um barulho estranho lá fora é uma óptima desculpa para sair de casa.
No entanto, não se esqueça de que o simples facto de ouvir um ruído estranho no exterior não lhe garante uma noite divertida. Mas se precisar de sair rapidamente de casa, então funcionará.
Exemplo: “Did you hear that? (*worried face*) Did you hear that strange noise outside? Gotta see what’s going on there! You stay here.”
16. Turno duplo no trabalho
Se precisa de desculpas fáceis para sair de casa à noite, então trabalhar num turno duplo é o seu melhor amigo. Certifique-se apenas de que o seu colega de trabalho o confirma (no caso de o seu parceiro o mencionar à frente dele).
Exemplo: “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.
Exemplo: “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. Tornar-se voluntário
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.
Exemplo: “I’ve become a volunteer at (the place of volunteering), and today, we have a lot of work to do.”
19. Assistir a uma festa de aniversário
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 uma história nas redes sociais para que só eles a vejam também é uma boa ideia. A sleepover is, of course, inevitable because you got drunk, and it’s not safe to drive like that. ?♀️
Exemplo: “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 um concerto
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. Por isso, ele ou ela já comprou bilhetes para os dois.
Exemplo: “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. Necessidade de ir à 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.
Exemplo: “Hey, I need to go to the library today. I need to do some research on (a certain topic).”

5 dicas extra para sair à socapa
Estas dicas extra farão com que a tua experiência de saída furtiva seja o mais tranquila possível, por isso certifica-te de que as memorizas todas:
1. Planear o tempo de ausência
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. A importância do timing perfeito
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. Deixar uma nota (se necessário)
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. Apresentar sempre provas
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.)
A prática faz a perfeição!
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.
