Teachers Share Student Excuses That Sounded Fake At That Moment, But Turned Out To Be Real

It’s highly unlikely that there is a person in the world who never used some bogus excuse for not having homework, missing an exam, being late for class or turning in a project. And most of us used pretty lame excuses that we thought would be believable...

Of course, not realizing that our teachers heard them a million times before, and probably used them while they were in school.

But what about the weird excuses? Excuses so incredible, that they just can’t be made up?

Redditor u/minecraftplayer48 invited teachers to share their stories, asking, "What was the best excuse for being late that turned out to be true?"
