Whats some good excuses, and what are things one can do when avoiding class?

Earlier I was late for a math lecture, and didn't have an excuse. It turned out I didn't need one, but its useful to have something ready.
Spent half the time in the elevator, but we (I was not alone) got busted. Busted, for riding the elevator. WTF! Some people who'd gotten off returned after 5 mins and said "You still here?" only thing I could think of was "Beats class..." Then my company needed a smoke so we went outside, where we were passed AGAIN! "Not in the elevator?" "Needed some air." Busted for riding an elevator. Never saw that one comming
The reason we were in the elevator is someone was complaining about the stairs, so when we reached the top, I said "If you hate stairs, lets takes the elevator!" so we went down. Then up. Then stayed.
And the reason I'm writing this is I'm bored and waiting for their class to finish so we can go have coffee, but I was wondering if:
a) anyone had a good excuse for skipping class.
b) anyone had been busted doing something weird.
c) did I nearly get away without saying "Pie"?

You make it look like you got the shit get kicked out of you, then say I need to go to the clinic, or infirmary, or whatever you transplanted Brits call the nurses office. Works for high-schoolers here. But I'm guessing you're in college, so that wouldn't work too well.

[Hrod89]

You could try not skipping class. I'm assuming your in high school, because in college/university no one gives a damn if you skip class or not.

Hence why I didn't need an excuse
Excuses are still useful sometimes, like if you're trying to get an extention

My best excuse in highschool was "I left my excuse in the libary" at which you walk past the teacher while shes doubletaking.

That's quite a thing Jeeves .

At university they usually don't care if you miss hearing or working classes. They do care if you miss the practicals for chemistry. If you miss even some of those days.. try again next year. Which sucks imo, because if there's anything I'd WANT to miss, it's that . If you're going to be ill or unavailable one of those days, you must phone the practical leader else you're in shit. Even if you're 5mins late most practical assistents complain about it. Missing one day might not be too bad, though you'll have a lack for time for your experiment(s).

Tell them you have an overwhelming elevator fetish. You like pressing all the right buttons.

ROFLMAO, when I get home and can access My controls, I am SO quoting that bastard.


Best excuse? "Schoolwork is left at school, therefore homework should be left at home."

Got me out of one or two...there's no real counter-argument to such impeccable logic

[chemical ali]

I don't skip classes, if we did I'm preaty sure you could get suspended by the head of six form.

[Speeder]

I have been kicked off one the classes to the next one, I guess it was from 0 to 1 in our schooling system. And I must say that I'm glad I have been, because the younger level appears to be completly moron-full. Though it is shame to become 18 as last of them all

[Jeeves]

Yeah, I was always youngest, you have to sit through everyone else getting their licences and going off down the pub while you sit back waiting an exra year...
Don't get that anymore, and nobody even knows my age for sure. 90% of people at uni now think I'm 22

[Ash]

LOL

I'm round about middle-order in class age...however there ARE some people in my class who are like 19-20...and still at college. Odd.

I skipped RE (until I was withdrawn from it) at school, and always forged excuse notes for PE, and I've always skipped Key Skills this year. It's a complete fanwank...we learn nothing, do nothing, and it doesn't give us anything at all as a result. I did all the stuff last year but it wasn't submitted by my teacher, so I chalked fuck on it and never went again.

Nobody's said a word, and I still get my £30-per-week EMA every week

[Athena]

What's RE? I know PE but you English people seem to have weird abbreviations for your classes sometimes.. I can't make anything of RE, nor do I recall the full explanation of PE in English.. don't get why you just say 'physics' or 'English'.. or do you call that PH and EN?..

[Mathijs]

Well.. I used to sleep over during the week at my ex-girlfriends place, and we would just stay in bed the whole morning, and she would call us in sick. I'm 18, she's 19, so she can sound like my mom if she really tries

1,5 more months until graduation from high school (keeps fingers crossed)

[Jeeves]

Matias; sounds like my tuesdays, I just don't call in sick but I'm yet to miss anything I don't know from 4 other subjects...
milbot; Good luck, and the hope you won't need it

Key skills is the best lesson of the week, you always get a free and you get no work, we get loads of people coming into give talks.

[Tree]

High school I would skip some days. If I got caught, I'd buy the administrator a whopper from Burger King and he'd say "See you next week."

[Ash]

LOL, why do I believe you?


@Ali: Yes. I always get a free. Because I don't fucking go I just go home instead (it's last thing Tuesday...I don't need to go)

[Blodo]

I usually border on the 50% absency threshold

[Ash]

Lol, we get investigated over anything less than 76% attendance in England...
