I gave my homework away to a homeless guy once in uni. The professor gave us a tiny slip of paper with the homework topic and I had a wad of ones in the same pocket. Well when the homeless guy asked I just gave him the wad and shagged ass out of there. It wasn’t until I was home that I had realized what I had done. My professor let me off the hook since he said he’s never heard that one before.

Not a teacher but in 9th grade a kid in my biology class claimed she got bitten by a cobra after coming back from vacation (early obviously). No one believed her at first but she had a doctors note and wounds to prove it. Idk how she survived, but then again I’m not a snake expert and don’t know the chance of survival for that.
