Good excuses for not doing homework?

brummytom

I might have started a thread like this an age ago but I couldn't find it on google, and the search isn't working here.

Anyway, I've a few pages (about 7) of Geography coursework in for tomorrow. No excuse, just couldn't be arsed?

I've tried "I was dead/I hate you/It got blown up by the secret service" but what's a decent excuse to use?

The truth won't cut it I'm afraid.. I need lies, good lies

"Sorry Miss/Sir, I've chosen to live a life of failure and for the rest of my adult life, I've decided I'd rather like to work in some ****hole earning minimum wage, or if that doesn't work out I'll let the taxpayers, like your good self miss/sir, pay my way. Hence I've decided not to do my geography exercise, instead deciding a bunch of Irish people on a website entitled www.boards.ie to think up an excuse. I chose this one, for it's honesty and it's no-nonsense, zero-naivety approach."

But I'm planning to emmigrate to Ireland, so she wouldn't be paying my way?

tell them you're in mourning over stephen gately

A friend in school once told a teacher: 'a cow calfed and I had to wipe up the afterbirth with it'.

An excellent idea that I wished I enclosed in my second draft of my masterful excuse.

EDIT: The-Rigger, all us coultie's used the calfing one (except me, I live in a crappy town, so I have no excuse advantage). Sadly, with the advent of the "you have to bring in a note from your parents" going up and telling your parents the cows are calfing will cause alot of undue panic and then anger. Alas, no note.

I honestly just thought this when I saw the thread about him.

She knows I'm obsessed with Ireland and thinks I'm a gay, so it could work

accidentaly fall and 'hurt' yourself. Then say you should go to the A&E and get it checked.

I faked an injury and I was told I had ligament damage. Got me out of school for a week :cool:

If you have a hot female teacher try:

"Fapping and thinking of you > Homework"

Just tell them you're depressed. They probably won't want to upset you.

when they then question you say it was your other gran, when she turns up alive, mention some thing about being embarrsed, some happened to your girlfriend, and the granny story was a cover up, agrue about if for about two years, to eventully come clean and say i never really wanted to do my geography homework in the first place

Somebody in my class tried that early on in 1st year.

They were told to turn off the waterworks and got into trouble anyway.

Thus, we can conclude that if a 13 year old isn't allowed to cry, a 16 year old most certainly shouldn't be crying. Hence they would believe that you may have a serious issue.

Of course if they suspect you're geh, that's probably going to go out the window. :pac:

I cried in 5th year, put it down to stress but really I can turn it on and off like a tap

I wasn't asked for homework for a week, and teachers were very nice to me after that.

I'm a girl though so it may be different

See, I went to an all-girls convent school with mostly male teachers.
Crying always worked.

I wasn't checked for homework in my Irish because I never done it, the teacher knew this and gave up asking me to do it. No matter what they done I didn't do it. It was pretty funny actually. I told them I hate it, it's boring as fcuk and I can't see the benifit of learning poetry if I don't understand wtf I am saying. I done homework in some subjects, the ones I was interested in. Woodwork, business, biology, geography, english etc etc.

fair play but make sure the teacher is one who can take a laugh! also gage her mood - my students know when they can pull stunts like this and when just to shut up!

donmeister

I didn't do my homework when I was in school. I was stupid not to. Now I'll probably be in a minimum wage job for the rest of my life. Oh wellz.

Yeah I'm alright gaging the mood;

I had a maths teacher call me impotent
I said "Is it any wonder looking at you?".. if I'd said that when she was in a bad mood.. well I wouldn't have any homework.

Naah I'll do it.
Either that or tell her I was in a red light district all night (that's all I talk about in geography)

I was arrested but it so wasn't my fault.

remind her that we're in a recession and that youv ran out of ration coupons for extra pens and paper..

thomond2006

One of the lads in my school said to the maths teacher: "Sir, I ran out of the paper".

The teacher was so impressed with his cheek that he let him off.

I'd say people would be more inclined to be alarmed about a teenage boy (that didn't attempt to look like an anime character) crying than a teenage girl because according to society's standards, a man doesn't cry unless his dog died. That or he is upset over that inner homosexual that's trying to find its way out.

Which if you think about it, could be a goldmine for brummytom or should I say bummytom? hurr durr. He could probably get the whole teaching staff to ease off the homework while he tries to find himself.

Fcuk it, I'm not acting the fairy for my last year in school just to skip a bit of homework


"(that didn't attempt to look like an anime character) "
Eh?

K-Ren

You're going about this all wrong man, you don't go to the trouble of going into school and working on the teacher, fake sick/mental breakdown tommorow in front of your parents! Really go for it, cry to your parents, start spreading peanut-butter and jam on your bed and calling your alarm clock Daisy.

You know, 6 and a half feet tall flightless birds? Sit around all day, listening to depressing music and having silly haircuts? Australia's answer to the Ostrich? Believed to be heavily involved in the old bit o' cutting? Eats crickets? Likes crying?

Maybe I'm thinking of something else.
