    You shouldn't need an excuse, just say you don't feel like going out. That's what I do, if they're your friends they'll understand. Nothing worse than someone making up bull excuses for not going, just be honest.

    Interesting answers...

    Firstly, I'm 18 - but you don't need to reach your thirties to realise how sh*t nightclubs actually are!

    Secondly, they are actual friends. They won't bind me and beat me up with shoes because I'm not going out, but I don't want it to seem like I'm fobbing them off with an excuse :P

    As it's Paddy's night, I expect the retorts to be like
    "Why don't you want to come out? It's Paddy's Day!"
    "I haven't seen ya in ages"
    "It'll be class craic, sure you're not doing much anyway, are you!?".

    I'd go out to the club, do a poo on the dancefloor and smear it all over your body shouting "Im a pretty Barbie doll". You'll have to go out to do this but you wont be invited out ever again, so its better in the long run

    Tell them your family has a St Paddy's Day tradition of having day long orgies. And your gran is over who you haven't seen since last year...


    Or just man up and say 'no', or 'ok'. Depends on how you look at it I suppose.

    You'd think that would be the case, wouldnt you?
    A couple of months back a couple of the lads kept txtn, then ringing to get me to go out. There was no special occasion that night ie. 21st, stag night, bla bla bla. I kept repeating myself til i was blue in the face (that i wasnt going out that night) and so they actually came to my house and wouldnt leave until i gave in, which i ended up doing in the end. :pac: Turned out to be a cracker of a night though. :D
    Their a bit pushy tbh.

    When they ask you to go out say "Awww, I wish I could...but I really don't want to".



    I fear that I may just have quoted "Friends"...

    This. I hate this. I don't understand it, if you can't afford something then you can't afford it. Can't recall how many times friends have said it, namely because I've either gone into a red hot rant straight after or swiftly changed topic.

    It's easier to just say 'yes' and then not turn up. Also you could ghost.

    Ghosting:

    The act of disapearing, without warning or excusing oneself, from a social gathering to avoid nagging.
    Usually executed by pretending to go to the toilet and then leaving or 'Ghosting'

    Ghosting: disappearing and reappearing unexpectedly when one chooses.


    I used to do it all the time.

    Just say you have a dose of the sh!ts and every time you try to eat/drink something it runs straight through you...
    You've been on the bowl for hours and in serious pain. Really sorry, must be the IBS playing up again.

    Got me out of work a few times a year when I was a lazy sod


    And I've never had issues with IBS




    :-D

    Best excuse is I am not in the humor to go out.


    Why say "im out of money" , "got to get up early in the morning" etc. You'll just come off as giving any old excuse. Least if you say not bothered it leaves a whole list of reasons open to why you are not willing to go out.

    Tell them you've your grandmothers mass out the country at 7 and you'll try get lift in to town after and meet them out.

    Then you can say you can't get a lift in because everyone is drinking and a taxi would be too much seeing as its so far out the country. So your stuck out the country until your parents decide to leave to go home, at your aunts house drinking tea and playing with the younger cousins and IT SUCKS.



    Always works for me.

    'I have to identify a body at the morgue.'

    That is actually a pretty good way of identifying friends over drinking buddies. A friend will say "Seriously? Do you want me to come with you?". A drinking buddy will say "Oh right. Well another night then".
