School and Homework Excuses 401 and up.

 

  • 401.  My desk fell apart and all my homework was crushed this morning!

     
  • 402.  Teacher: Why are you so late?  You: Well, thing is, my toaster's really old-fashioned and it takes AGES to heat up!

     
  • 403.  Paint your nose green and shout out silly phrases, have a friend say you have a green nose sickness. That is how you get out of p.e.

     
  • 404.  I was walking to school when the aliens came down and abducted me, they fed information into my brain which made my brain bigger and bigger until it exploded and it weighed more than 4 solar masses thus forming a black hole I got sucked into it and I traveled faster than the speed of light causing me to create my own friction on myself which superheated me and turned me into plasma I exploded into another dimension and by the time I got back from the other dimension I was late for school. Tell the teacher this and they'll be to confused to give you detention.

     
  • 405.  On the day that my chemistry term paper was due, I realized that I had left the 50 page report sitting in my printer tray at home.  When my teacher asked me where it was, I responded,  "Oh, that? Its not important.  But if you must know, It died two days ago."  The next day, when I brought it in , I said, "Miracles can happen!  My paper rose again on the third day!  Praise the Lord!"  -- I received full credit.

     
  • 406.  My daughter will not be in class today because she cracked her head and went to the hospital her brain will be removed and switched so please excuse her I advise you not to give her homework for about two months, thank you.  This one was actually used by a 11 year old girl .

     
  • 407.  I didn't do my math homework because the batteries in my calculator ran out!

     
  • 408.  For being late: Teacher: Why are you late??  You: Well you see my family and I just bought a dog.. and this morning when I woke up my dog was lying on the floor... dead!  (go in to details how he had died and the exact place and stuff like that) the teacher gave me detention for 2 months for lying to her later the teacher had called my mom to see if it was true.. and it was!  She was sooo embarrassed she let me go for detention and now she believes what ever I say!  (true story)

     
  • 409.  My sister fused the house with her hair dryer and my alarm clock was reset.

     
  • 410.  I did my homework but I woke up late and I forgot it by my computer.

     
  • 411.  For school/homework excuses:  When I was in 9nth grade geometry honors, the teacher didn't really check our homework.  Sometimes she would glance over it to make sure we did all of it, but usually you could get away with stuff.  I did the following on many occasions:  I hate proofs, especially two column proofs, but I don't particularly like paragraph proofs either.  Anyway, if the teacher doesn't really grade your homework you can usually write a paragraph proof that goes something like  "I have no idea how to prove this.  I'm completely stumped."  One time, I put "I really don't feel like proving this right now."  The teacher looked directly at it, circled it, and gave me full credit on the homework.

     
  • 412.  Here's how my Spanish teacher checked homework:  He handed out calendars for each month.  Every day we had homework, he would walk around to see that we had it, then stamp that day on the calendar.  I guess one day he was feeling rushed or lazy, but the girl that sat next to me hadn't done her homework, but she happened to have a sheet of old homework layin' around, so the teach just walked by and stamped without looking at it.

     
  • 413.  Teacher asks you why you haven't got any books.  You say, "I left them in school and the school was set on fire by people."  (this really happened to me.  My school was set on fire by vandals and loads of stuff was destroyed)

     
  • 414.  Sorry I was late for school, but my mom would not let me out of the house until I flossed my cat.

     
  • 415.  (This is true)  In my 9th grade English class, we had to do this big long essay about respect and common courtesy and behavior, because we were loud that day.  Well that Jesse came over and took it out of my printer and said that if I wouldn't let him watch TV. that he would eat it.  I didn't believe him, he ate half of it.. :(   When I told that to my English teacher, he told me I was crazy and to go sit down.  (I did not get to make it up :|)

     
  • 416.  In 7th grade, This girl was late for 3rd period P.E., and when she finally showed up for class her excuse was " I forgot I had class."

     
  • 417.  Please excuse Gordy from school today, he left his brain on the subway.

     
  • 418.  Once our homework for P.E. was to bring a tennis ball to school (to play tennis), but my dog chewed it up.  Therefore I could use the excuse "My dog Ate My Homework!"

     
  • 419.  True:  I did my homework on the toilet and my father used it for toilet paper.

     
  • 420.  Please excuse my son TJ from P.E. today.  Saturday he was outside playing football and he lost his foot.  We have been searching all over for it but we still haven't found it.

     
  • 421.  When I was in grade 6,  I was usually late getting back to school after lunch, and usually I got a detention for it.  So one day I was late again and as usual my teacher asked me why I was late, not thinking I told him that our furnace broke and the toothpaste was frozen so I had to go next door and wait for it to thaw.  Well he laughed so hard he told me if I could keep coming up with excuses as good as that I won't get another detention, and he was right!!!

     
  • 422.  This one time when I was in class, this dude didn't have his homework.  As always, Mrs. Jones asked, "Teaky, why don't you have your homework?",  He said, "Well last night when I had gotten done with the assignment, I had laid it down beside me.  My baby sister came over to me.  When I looked up, she had it all in her mouth and was all eaten and chewin' it".  Then this other time Teaky didn't have his homework again, and this other dude named Niko was like, "Hey Teaky, did your sister eat it again?!!"  The whole class bust out laughing!!!!!

     
  • 423.  If you don't want to do your homework, present a load of random letters in the Windings font to your teacher and say that you are sorry that your PC is broken and that is all it will print out!

     
  • 424.  This 1 really works!  The night before you have school the next day you go to your parents and say, "Mommy/Daddy (in your sick voice) I have a stomach ache.  Then at 10 pm to 3 o'clock am, flush the toilet then get back in bed.  5 minutes later flush the toilet again.  Do it one more time and then go into your parents room and say" Mommy/Daddy (in your sick voice) I have diarrhea for the 4th time.  They will end up letting you stay home from school.  I did that on 1/6/03.

     
  • 425.  My dog keeps mistaking my homework for the neighbors cat... by the way my cat is blind.

     
  • 426.  My son was off school today because I told him to clean his room.  It was very messy and took him all day.

     
  • 427.  I didn't do my work because you said it was optional.

     
  • 428.  Please excuse Jim today he is constipated and he is stuck on the potty.

     
  • 429. For Art if you must draw something: Sorry I left for the bathroom and my cousin who is not right in the mind put it in his mouth and swallowed it.  I couldn't do it again because we were just about to leave the farm where I had drawn it and my inspiration left me.

     
  • 430.  This was used by a kid in the 5th grade:  Please excuse Shadi for shitting on the floor, he couldn't reach the toilet.

     
  • 431.  I'm late all the time/ miss school frequently because I am anemic.  I am pale from this, not from being up all night partying.  This is why I yawn, this is why I am tired.  It is not because I drank too much and slept too little.

     
  • 432.  Any excuse in the world, however crazy, will work at school if you are a female, smiling sweetly at a male teacher;  trust me, I have used the maddest excuses on my male teachers for three years and never got a detention.  I have done everything, including 'Aliens landed on Earth, took me hostage, stole everything I had including my carefully done paper, then released me just in time for school, returning everything except the paper'.  I tried that one a female teacher once for a dare, and she gave me an A for Imagination.

     
  • 433.  I was absent from school last week because I was bitten by a snake and died, but luckily I was reincarnated this morning.

     
  • 434.  (True)  My mom made chicken wings, its my sisters favorite, she was so excited she ate 2 at the same time and she started chocking on them.  We took her to the hospital.  I tried doing the homework but I was so worried about her I couldn't do it. (try crying)

     
  • 435. so I'm 12 and I stole 42 pens from a teacher and all I did was say my friend did it. (teachers never bust squealers)

     
  • 436.  I've used this one so many times... tell them that you will print it after class and hand it in before the day is done.  Then go to the them the next day and say, "I came to your office but you weren't there."  It works 8 out of 10 times.  The other 2 out of 10 doesn't work cause they say they were there all day.

     
  • 437.  Limp around all day then when you get to P.E., have a friend pass by and say oh yeah he/she has been limping around all day.  Then make up a story on how you hurt yourself!  Worked for me!!!

     
  • 438.  One time I was late for P.E. (about 15 min. late) so our class was already done stretching and when we showed up my teacher was about to give us extended study when I finally said that we were late because we were getting help with Math from our teacher and she didn't have any more late passes.

     
  • 439.  I USED THIS REALLY:  I couldn't come to school today, my bus driver had to much Viagra and ran off the road.

  • 444.  Absolutely true story!!  Once in grade 3 I had to use this excuse:  Sorry I was late Ms./Mr./Mrs. (teacher) I was handcuffed to a tree and I couldn't reach the safety switch. I ts true my friends and I were playing a game and one of my friends brought handcuffs to school (metal ones not the crappy plastic ones) and when the bell rang they just left me there and my hands were too far apart to reach the switch.

     
  • 445.  I have poop that won't come out so I can't go to school.

     
  • 446.  True story (my older brother used it):  I am unable to turn in my homework because my little brother tore it up.  (I really did, I was really pissed of at him, but it was a long time ago so I forgot why).

     
  • 447.  Teacher: Where is your homework?  Student: Still in my pen Miss.

     
  • 448.  My brother was caught selling cigarettes at school that he had taken from his dad.  His excuse was that by selling them his father was smoking less and less likely to die!!

     
  • 449.  My homeroom is a mobile classroom, you know, cheap walls, stuck in the middle of our school parking lot.  This was because we had an overabundance of students and did not have enough rooms.  Anyway, it is the science lab so we did not have desks, rather, cubby holes against the wall.  We were instructed that when we left, we were not allowed to come back for anything.  So, the convenient excuse for all students in my class was "I left it in my cubby,".  Well, one day, a student notorious for not handing in work told our Math teacher "I left it in my cubby."  This must have been the 34th time he used that excuse in this class.  Without faltering, the teacher snapped back "Go get it!!!!!"  "But I'm not allowed," said the student.  My teacher wrote him a signed note to give to our homeroom teacher, and marched him over to the mobile classroom.  Upon searching his cubby while both teachers looked on, he said "hmmmm, I know its in here...."  Twenty minutes later all the papers were on the floor and both teachers were pawing through it.  He eventually admitted he never did it.  He got three detentions , one for lying to a teacher, one for continuing the charade for 30 minutes, and one for disrupting both classes.

     
  • 450.  I didn't do my homework because my cat peed on it.

     
  • 451.  One day me and a friend were late to general music class, we were late because we were talking about the NFL playoffs from that weekend and lost track of time completely, so we got to class and our teacher ask for a pass, we didn't have one, so we went to the office and asked for a pass, they asked why we were late and that question totally caught us off guard, we simply replied that we were talking to our science teacher about our assignment. And it worked like a charm!!

     
  • 452.  Excuse for not coming to class or work:  (true story of a friend of mine)...  I can't come in today.  My upstairs neighbor's cat is stuck in the ceiling of my bathroom and we can't get him out.  (Followed by, we tried to get to the cat by standing on the sink but that fell down and now there is a cascade of water down the wall.)

     
  • 453.  Actual excuse I had for not being in class...  In college I had physics on M, W, F.  One Wednesday, I slept in past my morning physics class thinking it was Tuesday and I didn't have class until the afternoon.

     
  • 454.  Teacher:  Why didn't you do your homework?  Me:  Dunno.  At this point the teacher just turned around and carried on with class without saying a word.

     
  • 455.  This is the funniest thing that I ever did.  I had to read a passage which started 'One of the main reasons...'  Instead I sat silently in my seat.  My teacher thinking that I didn't understand read the first word, 'one' I then replied 'of' and waited until she said 'the' again I said the next word 'main' This actually worked for the full sentence until my very pissed off teacher made me leave the class.

     
  • 456.  I actually used this around Christmas time:  I was about an hour late to 1st period and I came in and said that my mom had blown a fuse with the Christmas lights which made my alarm clock turn off and I didn't wake up for school on time... -------------------------------------------- I was in drama and had a line test (had to memorize all my lines) and my excuse for not knowing all them was that I was sick (and I actually was sick a week earlier, but I'm such a good actress that my sickness carried into the following week), so I told him I was sick and that I was on medication that made me drowsy so I was sleeping all the time and didn't have time to study my lines........ my theory is, if I can fool a DRAMA teacher with those lines, they GOTTA work! :o)

     
  • 457.  This excuse is best for the last two trimesters/semesters.  "I have to go to court every Friday."  That way the teacher thinks that you are trying to straiten up, and will give you a little leeway.

     
  • 458.  One day I was late for school and I forgot I had an exam that morning, my teacher wouldn't let me sit my exam so I told him my bus got bogged and we had to wait for another bus to pick us up, he felt bad and let em sit the exam the next day.

     
  • 459.  This kid in my math class actually did this:  We always stapled all of our homework to a little slip every Monday (the day we turned it all in) and so one time when he didn't do his homework, he stapled his biology notes to it and made up some scores for his assignment.  The teacher didn't even notice, and he got an A.  He has done that ever since.  I wonder if he
    ever even does his homework anymore?

     
  • 460.  In my English class, everyone dislikes our teacher, so one day, we decided that someone was going to go to the bathroom, call the school from a cell phone, and ask to talk to their "second cousin" (our teacher).  One day we did it, but the kid forgot his name, so we are going to try it very soon!  Then the office would call the teacher up to take a phone call, while we did whatever we wanted.

     
  • 461.  Well, my cat had diarrhea and shit all over my homework.

     
  • 462.  I had lice yesterday and it took 2 days to get rid of.

     
  • 463.  This morning my pet jumped out of the window and I had to chase it, but when I caught it school was already over.  [my stupid teacher believed it]

     
  • 464.  I teach and received this excuse from a student who returned to school late after lunch:  I was at home helping my little brother polish his models, sorry!  Won all-time top honors with me after 18 years of teaching.

     
  • 465.  I am sorry I wasn't in school yesterday, my brother wouldn't wake up so I had to stay home and keep trying to wake him up.

     
  • 466.  When your teacher asks why you couldn't finish your homework, tell him/her that the power went off because of a mix up paying the bill and with no lights or computers you couldn't see to do it.

     
  • 467.  Excuses for getting out of P.E.:

    1:  I am sorry.  My child suffers from acute schizophrenia and entering the changing rooms could permanently change his/her personality.

    2:  ____ has currently got a case of Icantbebothereditus and cannot undertake in P.E. today.  Any form of exercise could be fatal.  If exercise should occur, consult a GP immediately.

    3: (only works if you are a girl and have a male P.E. teacher) ____________ is pregnant.  If you make her do P.E., I'll tell the Head it's yours.

    4: Please excuse ________ from P.E. as he/she is radioactive.  Need I say more?

    5: If you make me do P.E., I'll sue the school for harassment.

     
  • 468.  For getting out of detention 4 missing home work:

    1.  Rip a page out of your book, crumple it and then put it in your pocket.

    2.  Tell your teacher that it ripped out of your book.

    3.  Do the home work when you get the chance and then hand it in.

     
  • 469.  When you are asleep in school and the teacher wakes you up, quickly cross your hands like you are playing and quickly say, "And thank you for my teacher.  Amen"  This really works!

     
  • 470.  One morning I was in a really big rush and I grabbed my newly-washed PE kit from the laundry basket.  When I took it out my bag the changing room was filled with a horrible smell.  My excuse for why I couldn't wear my PE kit was: "My cat likes to sit in our laundry basket, and when I took my PE kit from it this morning I didn't notice that...er...it used the laundry basket as a toilet!"  The teacher burst out laughing and let me off.  PHEW!

     
  • 471.  Yesterday my mom made chicken wings for dinner and when dad was eating them he chocked on one and it was stuck in his throat.  So we rushed to the hospital and I tried to do my homework at the hospital but with all the noise in the halls I just couldn't.  I'm sorry. :)

     
  • 472.  Ok... My friend told me about this happening...  A group of people decided to skip school for whatever reason.  They went to a restaurant that was near the school and asked the waitress to call them out sick. She did it and the school believed her...

     
  • 473.  Last Week I was studying and my friend's dog bit me and sent me to the ER.

     
  • 474.  This an excuse that works every time with my teachers.  Miss: Where's you're homework?  You: I can't get it there's a spider in my locker and I have a phobia of spiders.  I'll give it to you whenever the spider moves away. ^_^

  • 480.  Teacher: Are you chewing gum???  You: Um no, I just have a sore jaw.

     
  • 481.  You: Sorry I got a bad report card Mom, its probably because the stress that has been going around, Its common u know.  Mom: Then why don't you stop spending time with your friends?  You: That's the only thing that helps me unwind, being with friends also helps with my social abilities.

    and the teacher allowed us to be late and to go wash the cupcake off as our fellow classmates laughed hysterically at us.

  • 496.  A kid in my math class did this once.  He didn't do his homework that night so he squirted water in his backpack all over old homework.  He told the teacher that his water bottle exploded and she said don't worry about it and he could make it up later.  She really thought that his water bottle exploded!
