Things you did to get off school

Elba101

We've all faked sick to get off school, but what's the stupidest, or most genius, thing you did to get out of going to school.

I use to rub sudocream all over my face so I would look pale. Worked every time...

Kasabian

Threatened my metal work teacher with a hammer. Nice week off.

kfallon

Faked my own death to skip Irish.

Hmm, suppose I should tell the family I'm still alive. It has been 10 years, I doubt the Irish teacher can do anything to me now.

TaraFoxglove

Said "I'm not going" and um... that was it really!

FatherLen

i never skipped school.

deman

Was about 10 years old when I dipped the thermometer into my mum's tea so show that I had a temperature.

ScumLord

I turned into a ball of pure energy, it destroyed the school and just about everything within a hundred mile radius as well so I got out of homework too.

Had a few beers the night before

Have a glass of water waiting in the morning, Mam or Dad come in "C'mon, school!", bring glass of water to the toilet (make sure you're not seen). Now, pour water down toilet while making vomit noise. Flush. Hide glass. Exit bathroom and make "ugh" noise.
Concerned parent: "Are you okay?!"
You: "Just got sick...."
Concerned parent: "Go on, go back to bed."

Got away with that twice before they copped on....

Yeah, then after a while when we got older and were less embarrassed about saying it, our PE teacher used to pull the "well, you can still exercise when you have your period - it's good for you":mad:

That's a real thing.

Dangerous Man

I just didn't go in. I didn't need their education, or their thought control. I particularly didn't need their dark sarcasm in the classroom.

How many people in this thread took notes off Ferris Bueller?

cookiemonst3r

Reddit much?

..Brian..

I used to get up a bit earlier and put a towel on the radiator. I'd then hold my forhead to the radiator for a few mins and hop back in bed just before me ma came in to wake me up. I'd be all, buaa, i'm sick, and when she felt my forehead for a temp of course I was unwell, temprature an all sure!

Worked a good few times actually

Run_to_da_hills

I would call my ma into the room and tell I wasn't feeling well, she would then get the thermometer and put in my mouth, when would she turn her back I would place it under a hot water bottle. This trick worked well until my brother tried it and got the thermometer up to 104, ma then called the doctor who knew of the trick and that ended all that.

Put cigarette ash under my eyes to look like I had black rings, squint my eyes and moan until the auld one couldnt take it any more.

How did you have any pudding if you didn't eat your meat?

OutlawPete

Faked illness by holding my parents thermometer under a lamp before they checked it. Got my mate to phone my principal and pretend he was my old man. Hacked into the school computer system and made it look like I was a punctual student, just in case my parents ever found out I wasn't and as I wanted to go for a spin in my mate's dad's classic Ferrari, hooked up a mannequin to some special sound effects and put it under my duvet so that if my folks did come home and check on me, a snoring sound would occur whenever they opened the door. My damn sister was a bitch though, nearly scuppered the whole thing on me.

RichieC

only missed about two weeks from school me whole life, that was a hospital stay

Quality

I used to get the vicks inhaler and sniff it and it would make your eyes water, went to the form teacher and tell her I was having problems at home and was stressed and upset and could she let me go home..

Archeron

Laughed out loud when I read "thunder tits" carved into the front of a particularly flat chested teachers desk while she was giving out to me, and then told her WHY i was laughing when she asked.
Got a week off for that.

getuponthis

Drank two cartons orange juice to give me the ****s!!

said my mother had a baby

TPD

The night before, I chewed up some leftover noodles, spat them into a bucket. Poured a tiny drop of milk and orange juice in, for effect like. Spent the next half hour spitting as frequently as I was able, into the bucket. Told my ma I was feeling a bit sick, was bringing a bucket for beside the bed.

Worked like a charm :cool:

In my secondary school, if you didn't wear your blazer, you were sent home to get it.

Ah no, I've forgotten my blazer again.

We're talking the late 90s / early 00s.

I think they just didn't want us there.

FINE BY US!!! :D

Hey I did that too! Worked really well.

Most of my teachers were too dozy to notice me leaving. I'd be waiting for the bus at lunch waiting to go home and some would offer me a lift.

lol, greenhorns

papajohn12

went on holiday break 2 days earlier than the rest. My excuse was I was going on a trip and I already booked my ticket and hotel. Used this a couple more times in university.
