Married and working from home

[Flyingby]

Hello gents
Need your collective brainpower here.
both the “old ball and chain” and myself are working from home.
with bars and restaurants closed. Coming up with an excuse to be out of the house for a 2 hour romp, is damn near impossible.
i need some ideas.
if anybody is in the same boat.How are you getting your funk on?

Same problem . Shopping, maybe.

 

[daveyboy999]

yep - its tricky.

Buy a motorbike - "going for a ride with the guys, babe"

come home in need of a shower

also covers random cash withdrawals for lubricants, servicing, toys etc (for the bike natch..)

although the season is now working against you lol - was fine up until this week

While I am single I take care of an elderly relative and still need to come up with excuses.
So far it was golf which actually half the time was true because I was playing once a week with three of my buddies.
In the winter I use pool which is also true half the time as we meet at a pool hall once a week. I think the beer and conversation is more important to all of us than golf or pool.

Golf courses are closing next month and with covid restrictions pool is not allowed either at a hall or in a private house, so my next excuse will be to take my car in for some work and will have to wait for it, this however I can’t see using too often, hopefully we will go back to having 10 people being allowed and restaurants etc... being open so I can go back to playing pool all winter lol until golf season opens again.

Sabotage something in the house requiring a trip to a home improvement store. Just so happens the closest store with the available part is an hour drive away.

My best friend is in exactly the same situation.

He comes to my house for dinner every 2 weeks.

I'm his best excuse.

It's been working since mid-March.

If you own a business, meeting with lawyer or accountant, some paperwork that need signature, ...

When you break your routine that's when suspicions arise. Be careful. I wait for her to book something with the girls.

Bang the wife? That's not an option?

Save the money for post-pandemic party!

Lol. Not the option I am looking for

 

[curly]

Lol! I understand... but in our current situation, everyone is kinda short on options! At least you got that one!

 

[Sylar]

Not in the same boat, but can you not just "go to a friend's house to have a few beers"?

I need specifics. What time of day are you going to be going ?

Golf takes a good 4-4.5 hours to play a round plus there is pre and post range time and the 19th hole. Can’t you say you’re golfing? Go play 9 or hit a bucket of balls so that you can pass the red faced test.

Her: Where were you all afternoon?

You: I was golfing.

Her: At 10 o’clock at night?

You: I was night putting.

I get it. You don’t want to just bang the Misses because, quite frankly, you’ve had her...and she is no longer 19 or 20 something. You want a change of pace so FORE!!!!!

Tell her your phone is acting up (not getting calls, dropping calls, ppl can't hear you, etc), and you're not sure what the problem is. Needs to bring it to the store to have them take a look. Boom, that would take a couple of hours or more easily (waiting in line plus getting service). Even if she calls you during that time and you don't answer, well, your phone was offline while they try to fix it. Of course, the phone magically gets repaired by a nice young man at the store, but only after going through all kinds of tests, etc. He was so nice that he didn't charge you anything since it was a problem on their end.

You're welcome.

Caveat: this only works one time, so make it count.

 

[hungry101]

You might get two out of that one.

 

[2fast2slow]

i use 'I have to go into the office for a couple of hours' and 'going for exercice on my bike' (I actually go to my favourite mp with my bike). In winter its cross country skiing on the mountain

I am a morning wood kinda guy
But early afternoon can be good too

 

[Zigme]

Oh yes , really out of excuses and them new ones do get you out of your routine and that is the problem as previously said
Personally I had the night beer 2-4 time a week and it was perfect cause didn t even need to implicate a Friends since they all know I can enjoy it by myself chatting with the waiter/tress

i try to golf once a week and would not trade that game for a meet and i d be dead if i tried to play a second one... but sometimes rounds take 7H...i dont like acting to much, really is a bummer; I once picked up my hockey stuff and went out for a (game), never agan... But still, Meeting was great

I D buy a dozen bottle of wine and stash them, pick one up and on my way to the liquor store and god knows it can take a while getting in but this only work with a quick mert

For sure having a beer at a Friends does the trick for me but only because it s part of my usual habits..

You guys are good if you can lie and use your poker face. I just can’t, that's why I stopped the hobby.
