These 21 Students Gave Ridiculous Excuses… That Were Actually True

17.

I told the teacher my bus caught on fire, she didn’t believe me until the principal called her to not mark late kids as absent because a bus had caught on fire and some kids were walking or waiting for a new bus.

A classmate of mine showed up late claiming he had stopped a robbery. He was the kind of kid that it would not be unlike him to make up something like that, so the teacher was upset until he gave her the note from the police.

My brother was a college professor and a student said he was either going to be late or miss an exam because he lost someone’s eyes. He was a courier for an organ transplant group.

I was once late for school because a raccoon got in my parents car. No one believed me so I had to get a note from the police department.

I gave the excuse that I was late because I peed on my cat. No one believed me. To make it a short story my cat would always follow me around the house just trying to get my attention which is usually fine until he jumped onto the toilet that I was peeing in to see what I was doing, resulting in him getting his face pissed on. I spent the next 20 minutes chasing him around the house to clean him off before he covered every bit of furniture with my piss.
