I'm pretty sure at one time or another, you've found an excuse (or made up an excuse) to miss a class that requires attendance. What are some of those excuses?

Right now I'm trying to decide whether or not to go to my bio lab. I'm stuck outside of my building (in the library's computer lab right now) in my pajama shorts and sweatshirt with NOTHING besides my student ID. I can potentially go to class and just be like "there was a fire so I don't have my assignment with me" but... I'd much rather not go.

I haven't needed to make excuses in university yet, even for mandatory classes that I've missed. They just don't really care.

But in high school, I skipped a helluva lot of classes (like 50?). Sometimes I used the dentist excuse, then orthodontist, then optometrist, then just plain ol' doctor. And then sometimes I would be more creative and say I had a piano exam, music theory exam, piano competition, etc. Just from that I had like 10 excuses to choose from. It helped that in high school all you needed was a note signed by your parents.

^ Yeah, usually I don't need an excuse, but the class I was about to miss (but ended up going to) was a lab and either way, I'd have to make up the work.

gah, its so hard to skip classes in college now. they usually want a legit doctors note. or something really important that caused you to skip class.

i dont remember using an excuse to skip class, i just took the absent. but i did get to leave a 2 hr class i had. i wasn't feeling that good, and my teacher noticed me not looking so good and moving around lol. so she asked me if i wanted to leave. mind you, i still could go through with the class, but since she asked me if i wanted to leave, i took the opportunity to skip the rest of class haha. she was a teacher i was close too, it felt like highschool in that class.

Most of the time when you're in college they don't care. I know i've skipped some classes and the teacher doesn't care, its just as long as you stay with in that you can't miss more than so many days thing.
In highschool always had to get something signed by mamma. But i would always use the excuse i was sick. Lol I'm not that creative

I always use the cramps one. The male teachers never get suss like the females do.. "how many times can you have your period in one month?!"

i never needed an excuse on college. the professors and chef's didn't care if we came to class or not. it wasn't their money or gpa being affected, so why should they? even in high school the majority of the time i didn't need any excuses. if i didn't feel like waking up and going to school, i didn't go. i'd just make up work later. screw perfect attendance.

I've always wanted to try the explosive diarrhea excuse, but that seems a bit too extreme.

Go with the, "I-had-to-take-my-(insertnonexistantfamilymemberhere)-to-chemo".
