Valid excuses to get out of in-law Christmas party.


Recommended Posts

Posted

My in-laws Christmas party is actually kind of nice there's lots of good food and I get gifts and money. Only downside is it's a small house so hard to get away when someone starts talking about Trump but usually if you throw an "OK boomer" their way they'll laugh and STFU for awhile.

Take up smoking, sneak out for a smoke.  I've skipped entire parties doing this.

Well one of them used to do that, too

Well shit. 

I know how to get uninvited but getting out of it is harder. Make every conversation about yourself to the point you cut everyone off mid sentence, changing the subject and talk over them.

"Well, my therapist says I should avoid groups of people until these thoughts of mass-murder subside, but what the heck?"

"The ankle monitor won't let me go more than 50 ft. outside my house."

"I can't go outside...that's where THEY are!"

My dog is having really bad separation anxiety all of a sudden.

One of my toes fell off.

Christmas sucks.

They know my wife's dog hates everyone so that won't work. Toes are good...I might be able to work with this...fetch me my knife.

I like most of these, hit a little close to home with that bunch.

tell them you have explosive diarrhea

 

no one ever questions that

DAMNIT! I was going to post that! >:(

Go with the flu angle if you are looking at a realistic excuse. Say that you've got a slight tickle in your throat and have started spiking brief fevers; you'd rather not risk being around a bunch of people if you are at the start of an illness since that's both when you are more contagious and most likely to really make it worse by pushing yourself too much.

Proceed to watch movies or play vidya games the rest of the night while avoiding the phone 'because you are resting' .

Man, watching that guy trying to cut up that steak just depressed the hell out of me. :(  No Idea what it's from, so what I see is this sadly pathetic guy, all skinny legs and bad eyes, in his nerdiest pose, just patiently trying to get lousy food into his body so he can continue on for another day just trying to survive in a hostile world he's patently unfit for.  And you just know that plate is going to go flying off his lap any second now, and he'll be left with nothing.  He is 85% of the world personified.

Merry Christmas!  xD

That's a scene from Napoleon Dynamite

But her take on it was far better than anything the movie offered. Besides the dance scene, possibly, but that was the whole point of the movie.
