Hi,

A girl at my school recently used "a large truck parked in front of my driveway and wouldn't move, so I couldn't get my car out". I thought it was quite nice and original!

- ciao ciao,

- me.

My friend said to his history teacher that the milk in his cereal hadn't turned chocolatey yet so he had to wait for it.

Brilliant!

One that I heard at school was when someone was late for a double lesson (i.e. two lessons 30 mins each shoved together): "I'm not late, I've just turned up really early to the next lesson". Sadly didn't work!

I used that a few years ago back in school! except mine was a "cement mixer" not a truck- my teacher still remembers it today...

This guy was really late for one of my lessons at Sixth form and said it was cos he had been to donate sperm.

On the reason for lateness forms:
"I walked too slowly"
"I didn't get here on time"
Then I was told that "I didn't get here on time" wasn't detailed enough. So the next time I wrote them a little story about my journey to school, which took up the entire sheet for the whole of our form. They haven't complained since.

My teacher's are used to me being late for the first lesson of the day. Sometimes I oversleep and miss them altogether, so at least one of my teacher's is stunned every time I just turn up. ^_^

I sometimes have to churn out excuses like 'I was stuck in traffic' or my favourite: 'I was ill'. It's pretty hard to disagree with that one, even if it means that all my teachers think I'm terminally ill or something. *shrug*

Teacher: Where've you been?
Student: I forgot we had a lesson

Someone in my Computing class this year said they where late because they had to fix a washing machine!

The teacher just gave him a weird look and carried on going on about encapsulation.

My mate came up with the best one:
*realistically dragging leg behind them into classroom*
"Why are you late?"
"I spent so much time doing your homework last night that I fell asleep on my bike on the way to school and crashed into a tree..."
Classic!
