“Unbelievable: 66 Outrageous Student Excuses That Sound Too Wild to Be True!”
The professors in both classes took my word at face value when I explained through text and email.
A snowstorm had just started, and was WAY worse than predicted. One student doesn’t show up, and 10 minutes later she calls me “Look out the window, and you should be able to see the highway… that car in the ditch? That’s me!” (She waves). “I slid off the road, and I’ve called for a tow, but they’ve just announced a towban until the storm is over, and I TRIED to get to the school, but the snow bank is too deep” (not the first snowstorm of the year!).
We ended up cancelling class early so people could have a chance to get home before the roads got any worse, anyways.
Not a teacher, but someone in one of my classes my junior year got to retake his exam because him and his dad got stranded when the dad was giving his son a helicopter flying lesson and they had to emergency land or something. The student was prone to skipping classes so they didn’t believe him until he called up his dad in the office, it was talked about by our school for a couple days.
Not a teacher but one kid was late for class because he had a “run in” with the F.B.I. Turns out his father was wanted and was found that morning so he had to walk to school because he could not drive. Teacher still marked him tardy.
TLDR: I told my professor someone got shot at a Home Depot so I might be late turning in my assignment. He didn’t believe me.
I was the student. I was taking college classes at night and was at my internship during the day. Sometime in the afternoon some guy shot a police officer? security guard? at the Home Depot that was smack dab between my campus and my office. The shooter then fled and there was a manhunt for him. A few offices and shopping centers went on lockdown but not mine.
