Believable Excuses To Leave Your Friend’s House Early

1 Relatives Are Coming Home And I Need To Go And Meet Them.

This works every time, I used this before because you can’t just ignore your relatives.

It is the best way to get out without hurting anyone.

Because everyone will think it is an emergency and you can’t avoid it.

You can also say they come from afar and you can’t avoid them because they are the important guests of your mother or father.

2. My Mom is Calling Me 

Yep, this is the best way to get out of anything and nobody can say anything.

Just say your mom is calling you back and it is urgent.

That’s it and it will work like a charm.

3. Not Feeling Well

You can say that you are getting dizzy or your headache is getting worse.

And nobody will stop you from going home because they don’t want to worsen your condition.

Just a little bit of acting and it works every time.

Or if you feel sick for real then that is more reason to stay at home to get better 

4. Project Excuse  

You haven’t completed your project/ assignment yet.

And you have to complete it because the deadline is near.

You can’t waste your time, just say that you will be there next time.

It is better to use this excuse before even going to your friend’s house. Just say that you will be there for less time because you have a project.

Then you can leave in time to have your alone time. 

Or you can make it up.

5. Doctor Appointment 

You can say that you have a doctor’s appointment or you can say that you have to pick up reports.

Someone in your family got busy and you have to go and pick up their reports.

It happens sometimes and this time it was your bad luck.

Everyone will understand that you can’t do anything about it.

6. Need To Pick Up My Relatives 

Your relatives are coming today. What bad luck, You have to leave early now to pick them up.

In the first one that I suggested, it means they are at home and you need to meet them.

But in this one, they are at the airport and you need to go and pick them up.

You can use it however you want just say you have to go and you can’t do anything about it.

7. I Need To Pick Up or Take Care of My Brother/Sister

Your parents are going out and you need to go and pick up your brother and sister or look after them at home.

This excuse will only work if you have a brother and sister.

Or you can say you have to look after relative’s kids and everyone else is going out for some urgent work.

8. I have Plans In The Morning 

You are a morning person or you might have to go somewhere in the morning.

That’s why you need to reach home early to sleep.

You can make the excuse that it is a family outing.

9. My neighbors Need Some Help 

Your parents are not at home and your neighbors need some help.

Best way to put it.

You can’t ignore your neighbor’s request.

What a good neighbor does is help them.

So you have to leave early.

You have to make up what help they need because you should know them best.

10. I Have An Interview Today

You can make up that you are looking for some volunteer work and the interview is today.

It will sound more reasonable. Just say you are interested and looking into it.

Think of the name of the organization and location because someone might ask.

You can’t pause there and say let me think about it.

The excuse will only work if you are thorough with it.

You can say that your mom sent you a shopping list.

Specify the time like I need to give the things to her before 10 or something that works best for you.

Or you can say you need to go because you need to buy some important stuff for your family gathering.
