What’s the most creative excuse you’ve ever given?

Articles, Top 10s

• Mirai^ - ~On coming to uni rather late~
  Friend: Where the hell have you been?
  Mirai^: My pillow and blanket tag-teamed in seducing me in bed.
• Satoki - My mum asked how come the pages of her Women’s Journal were apparently glued together … and why they smelt like ROTTEN SANDWICHES. Just remembering that I had squashed my super sticky sandwich there a while ago and conveniently neglected to clean it up, I made up the following excuse…

  ‘In Science, we were asked to use cat/dog food to make paper mache statues. U-um, it’s to test the properties of processed food especially for animals…’

  And she believed me, yay, due to the fact my science teacher at the time was a little eccentric and VERY animal friendly. Kind of ^^;. However, I can’t use that excuse again, because opportunities like are rare and few.

• Atsu-chan - I told my teacher, “Mrs.Roe! I would never do that!….Only when I’m
  feeling evil.”

  I was lying though…She thought i slapped another student..and because I’m SO good..she didn’t believe the other kid! and i AM evil!

• Darkisc - So, a few years back, ok maybe 5 years back I had gotten into this
  little phase where I was obsessed with eating walnuts. I don’t know why, but I was. I’d buy whole bags of the walnuts still in the shell, and I’d crack them open with my hands.

  So, there was this one day in late November, where I’d gone to a friend’s house to hang out. and when I got there, he looked at my pocket and asked “Dude, what the heck do you have in your pocket?! It’s all lumpy, and looks freaking gross!”

  I simply responded. “Ah yes, you must be referring to my lovely collection of squid tentacles I keep in my specially vacuum sealed bag, that way when bear approach I can whiff a good rancid ploom of rancid tentacles at the bear who quickly runs away with disgust. Knowing that the smell is too much like tendonitus (even though it had nothing to do with smell). The bear will fear for it’s life as I enjoy my safety another day.”

  My friend was of course responding. “Dude, you have issues.”

  Of course, when I left my friend’s house late that night, I had showed him what was really in my pocket, which he thought made more, yet no sense at all as to why I carried walnuts in my pocket. when I got home, the bulge had only gotten larger in my pocket because I bought
  more at the store.

  When I walked past my dad, he was quick to spot me, as he went, “Son, come here.” As I got to him, he went, “Show me what you have in your pocket.” He thought I was trying to sneak something into my room, he used to be a cop, so it’s natural to him. Though, when I pulled out a
  large zip-lock back filled with tons of walnuts, my father looked at me and went “Son, why in the world are you carrying a sack of walnuts in your pocket?”
  I had to think quickly, so my response came out something like this. “Because, if you think about it, the squirrels around here have been getting really aggressive. So when I carry the walnuts around, I have a two birds with one stone weapon. The squirrels here really don’t like me too much, so they try to hurt me with acorns and almonds. Or the try to chew on my head. So, if I open my bag of nuts, and start throwing, I can knock one guy out, as the others quickly get
  distracted by the fact there’s an even bigger nut in the area. So, I’m saving mankind in the town of Antelope by keeping the squirrels happy and pre-occupied so they will no longer gain thoughts of taking over the world so they can force us to harvest their nuts. The quirrels
  shall pay.”

  My father only shook his head and walked off “You’re weird, that was just out there son.”

  I thought it was fun.

• Kiruhari - Once I didn’t get an assignment done and the teacher asked me why and I said “Well, i set my stuff inside the house and went out to get the mail. Forgetting I locked the door, so I was stuck outside from 3:34-11 pm.” I couldn’t believe he believed me.

  It’s pretty much true but the time is a little different, i got locked out my house from 3:34-5:30 and didn’t want to do my homework. It works to ’cause my peoples work to 11pm sometimes.

  The same day i made another excuse to get out of both 5th and 6th periods. I told the nurse I had a very bad headache and everytime i heard a semi-loud noise it really really hurt. I was acting really good too, I was all crying and stuff….They sent me home after that….

• wiccachick5 - Actually, this one didn’t work, cause my mom is dead, but i think it’s still is plausible for other ppl…

  i had to do my homework last night, but i forgot, so this is what i told my teacher…

  “I had to go bail my mom out of jail again, so i couldn’t do my homework”

  She looked at me strangly and laughed at me, and said i was off the hook, cause i made her laugh.

• maniackiller - I didn’t give this excuse, but a classmate of mine did. I just had to
  share it xDD

  The whole class didn’t do the trigonometry homework, so our furious teacher ordered everyone to give a reason for not doing it. My classmate’s excuse?

  “Sorry, miss- but I decided that watching Spiderman 3 was a higher priority than trig homework.’

  The best part… she got away with it xD

• Liana - Well- as a child, i always liked looking at my mum’s jewelery because
  she had so many lovely pearls and jeweled brooches etc. Anyways- When I was about 7 or 8, I ‘borrowed’ my mums gold owl brooch to wear without her knowing (mainly just to show off to my friends at school) but i lost it at lunch time and started freaking out, knowing mum would ground me forever if she had found out I had lost it at school. When she asked me about it a few days later I ‘confessed’: I said that I took it out of her box and was playing with it outside on the veranda. I then told her than a huge crow swooped down, grabbed it in its beak and flew off with it. I then burst out crying and told her how scary the crow was and mum comforted me- telling me now to worry and how brave i was facing the bird.

  I still cannot believe i got away with that…

• neko_kyo92 - this was when i was 6. i was over at my cousin’s house playing with my oldest cousin. me and him always play video games. this on time, we played football and i kept my player going in circles all the way to the touchdown. however, my cousin finally tackled me. anyways, my aunt came to pick me up and i told her i didn’t want to go. she said. “you
  have to, your mom wants u home now.” i just looked up at her and said.

  “i don’t want to go home. i want to stay here and play. beside to, i have to stay because he’s controlling my mind right now. he’s telling me to stay. so if i stay i’m free. if i don’t, i’ll be a slave
  forever.”

  eventually i got to stay but then got yelled at by my mom xDD

• Ichigo Neko - I farted in class once and then all my friends looked at me so I pointed at my teacher and pretended to laugh at her because I was sitting up front and they believed me that the teacher was the one to fart! xDD
