Please share some interesting exit strategies you have for leaving a party that you do not want to be at. Besides the obvious like faking an illness, or having "somewhere else" to be.

i always lay the foundation as soon as i get there (or even before that)....
when i get there i thank the hostess and let her know that i'm really glad i had the chance to stop by, but i'll have to be leaving shortly....then i say hello to everyone i want to chat with and then i'm off.....
it's not very creative, but it's not a lie....i wouldn't want to lie to anyone if i can avoid it

Haha -- it wasn't me, but once while I was babysitting, the mother called home and said this:
"I didn't really like the party, so Dennis and I told them that you called and told us that Jason threw up. We left the party but if it's all right with you, we'll just go see a movie instead. If anyone calls to ask, tell them he's feeling a bit better."
That's kind of limiting, if you have no kids or sitter, but I thought it was funny. They saw Bruce Almighty.

Don't even attend it in the first place. Tell them that you have an invite from someone else at the very same time.
Just say that you are going out of town next day and have to leave early so that you can pack your stuff.

I was at an office party and a group of people who wanted to leave said they were going to the washroom (conveniently just after dinner and before all the speeches began) and then they never came back.... We didn't realize they didn't come back until the speeches were over and we said "Hey, what happened to ... "

Spilling a red wine on your white shirt? Breaking the heel off your shoes? Getting a phone call?

You didn't state in your question whether you are undead or not...so I can only assume that this is the case. Since it is, I have great news. The mores of zombies are quite different from that of the living. Enjoy a token piece of brain, moan and amble out the door. I wish you luck.

Honestly, I just tell them. I say "alright, we're going" and we just go. Sometimes, I let them know when I get there when I'm going to leave, and if the party is at my house, I generally let them know in advance what time I want them gone.

Say you have an accident down "there".
Say your pet needs to go see the vet.
Say you realise your stove is still on.
Say your neighbor called that there is a prowler at your house.
Say you feel diarrhoea is coming on and need to go home.

tell them the police called you that your house burned down and you have to go but the obious problem in that is that your house would still be there and they would start asking question so i guess you can tell them the police made a mistake
