What is the most common excuse that keeps you home?
Any creative ones?
Come on with your bad, lazy selves... fess up. The best way to rid yourself of guilt is to confess!

(I feel so guilty about staying home tonight, but I am TIRED!!!) :'(
my most common one is
"i can't deal with the atmosphere/people today"
my second most common is usually because of something physical...
like a pulled muscle, a big ugly bruise, severe PMS, etc.
Oh god, I've used every last one of those!
I think my most common was something slick like this: "If I stay home and recoup tonight, I'll probably make more tomorrow than I would if I worked both nights in my current burnt-out state."
Creative stripper algebra. ::)
I feel fat.
its gonna suck tonight, its the 4th, they spent their mortgage/rent already and any extra cash is long gone.
the shitty d.j. works tonight
the Eagles are playing(I'm watching the game)
Sopranos is coming on (can't use that anymore) :(
Usually my excuses are, I want to stay home with my boyfriend or I dont need the money, or I need to do school work.
My excuse can be any little thing; tired, ride is late, ate too much, any physical flaw(weight, zit, bruise, bug bite) but it is always combined with "I'll go in tomorrow."
I've used all of these, but I chose "don't need the money." Usually once I've got all my bills paid, then I'm a major slacker. I'm trying to work on this though.
I also believe in signs. And sometimes..I take it to the extreme. Like if three people cut me off before I even get to the first major highway then I say..it's a sign..there's assholes tonight. Or if my makeup just won't go how I want it to..it's a sign I shouldn't work. God, my most crazy was, I wouldn't work because it was a full moon. I've started to get over that.
oh i make every excuse in the book. ive been good lately though. i only have to work my scheduled 3 days a week, and i *need* to work those days anyway.
but when i do make excuses, i usually want more time to myself. i picked too tired though.
Im really bad with the partying. My excuse is 'well, its wed, so the Burgundy is going off, or the Rainbow, or The Beauty, so Ill go in tommorow' And I end up at every bar in Hollywood and of course the obligatory 3 AM canters/mels, and promise myself Ill go in tommorow
I usually say I'm too tired if I don't go in. The real reasons can vary widely:
- I hate men on that particular night
-My tummy looks like I'm pregnant
-My roommate, who dances at the same club wants to stay home too
-A really good t.v. finale is on
-I have the blahs... meaning I feel both incredibly exhausted and unspeakably ugly
There are really so many...
My most often used one is- I'm in a shitty mood/not the right mood, therefore I know I won't make money.
One of those don't work for me, I have used them all. My biggest one is not really an excuse, it's how I feel, if I wake up feeling shitty and in a bad mood and it don't get better, I say screw work, it won't be worth my time cause all it's gonna be is a bunch of pricks so I am just gonna stay home and do nothing, tomorrow I will feel better and go to work. So they all come out in some way.
I usually rationalize that I have worked 50 to 60 hours at my 9 to ? and need to spend time with my kids or cleanning. It defeats the whole purpose of my "second Job" income and I feel :( when I look at my bank account afterwards.
IBS. If my tummy rumbles the wrong way, I am too afraid of the job. Sucks. I haven't found a way to get over that one either.
GAH, my PERIOD!!! i bleed SOOOOOOOO heavy the first couple of days that i HAVE to change my tampon/feminine product every hour or so..and i CLOT real bad too...UG, its only been since i got my tubes tied in april of '06...PLUS, when i first started dancing it was only topless so it was no big deal but now that its nude, im TERRRRRRIFIED that the tampon string or my "instead" product will pop out...so, i call out until my period osnt as heavy and i can depend on my tampon NOT failing.
I've used every excuse in the book, always followed with "I'll go in tomorrow".
My most common one is when I get a tummy ache. I feel like every part of me just shuts down. I feel all big and bloated, and so unsexy. Tht keeps me in bed.
Oy, I alwaaaays used school as an excuse, i.e. "School is my very important job and stripping is my less important job, and I can't blow off the responsibilities of my important job just to make some fast cash."
Umm... yeah. Then I'd study for about 20 minutes and be like, "Well, now that I'm smart enough to succeed in class tomorrow, I can relax for the rest of the night."
I'm great like that.
other.
i wish i had a good reason, but whatever excuse i tell myself, it's just good old fashioned insecurity. hell, i can be pumped and chicken out a couple minutes away from the club.
