Publish Not your original work? Add source Let's face it-almost every single one of us has ended up being late to class at least once or twice. It can be pretty easy to panic over how to excuse yourself for not being on time, and teachers are always ready to deal with a white lie. Whether it's imaginary appointments with the dentist or sudden and unexplainable stomach aches, there can be no end to students' creativity. Yet, some stories can be so ridiculous, people can't help but question whether they are real. User minecraftplayer48 decided to ask the teachers of Reddit, "What was the best excuse for being late that turned out to be true?" As of this day, the thread has collected more than 9.7K comments full of examples of how people didn't make their wild stories up. From getting pulled over by the police to assisting with births, Bored Panda has collected some of the craziest answers from this thread. Check them out down below and, if you're up for it, share your own experiences in the comments! This post may include affiliate links. #1 I apologize that I'm writing this on mobile, so there might be errors. I'm an English professor, and one year a pretty good student showed up without one of his 2 major term papers. He explained that his safe had been stolen by a contractor who was working on their house. His laptop was in the safe, and that's where his paper was. I genuinely believe him because he been a really good student.
Then over the next few weeks, he started to show up to class looking very tired. He said that he was on a hunt for the person who stole his safe, and he was spending late nights with his cousin driving around looking for the guy because they knew his van. Now, the student and his cousin were both recently back from tours in Iraq and had seen combat experience. They wanted to find the guy to beat the s**t out of him and get the safe back because his wife's wedding ring was in the safe as well as a bunch of cash. He rewrote the paper and turned it in, apologetic that it wasn't up to his usual quality, but he still kept coming to class looking like he hadn't slept.
After a little while he came very happy to my office hours, and he reported that he found the guy after a long search that involved breaking into a meth den shaking people down with baseball bats and even bribing some prostitutes. He said that they found the guy's van at a Taco Bell after getting a tip from a prostitute, and they cornered him and waited for the police to come.
I read in the news that he had in fact done a citizen's arrest and stopped the guy at a Taco Bell, and that they ended up calling in the Secret Service because he used the cash that he stole from the safe to buy a bunch of counterfeiting equipment. Secret Service apparently investigates counterfeiting, so the whole investigation happened because this guy who I dub "the white Shaft" tracked the scumbag down through the bad side of town late at night to get a wedding ring, some cash, and his research paper back. It all turned out to be true. He got the ring and the laptop back. I gladly accepted his original paper, and it got a much higher grade than the rewrite. kidnuggett606 , William Murphy Report Final score: 808points POST Stefanie Schimpf Stefanie Schimpf Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago That should be a movie! 523 523points reply View More Replies...

View more comments #3 This happened to me as a pupil; a very quiet, unassuming kid in our class came in to German with about five minutes of the class left.
We went to a Catholic school and the teachers were all quite strict and intimidating. Classes were usually silent, especially in junior school. When this boy came into class at the end of the lesson that day, the door flew inwards with such force that the teacher gave an audible gasp.
It had been raining heavily outside, his hair was plastered to his forehead. His blazer was dripping and sodden. He had mud caked into his trousers up to his knees, and he was breathing heavily.
The teacher exclaimed, ‘Brendan! What happened?’ We all stared up at him in shocked silence. This quiet, unassuming little boy let out a big sigh and just said, ‘I took a shortcut.’ And went straight to his seat.
That line became iconic in our school for years afterwards. lestat85 , Ahmed akacha Report Final score: 631points POST Rijkærd Rijkærd Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago This is hilarious.. 252 252points reply View More Replies...

A few weeks into the semester, I was headed from one building to another, which involved crossing the main road. Lo and behold, there was one very long funeral procession going by. I got a short video of it as proof, then stood on the sidewalk to let it go by.
Unfortunately, the procession made me five minutes late to class. I knocked on the door, and the professor came over to start to tell me off. I showed her the video.

40 Teachers Share Unbelievable Student Excuses For Being Late That Turned Out To Be 100% True
Ieva Gailiūtė andKotryna Brašiškytė
Publish Not your original work? Add source Let's face it-almost every single one of us has ended up being late to class at least once or twice. It can be pretty easy to panic over how to excuse yourself for not being on time, and teachers are always ready to deal with a white lie. Whether it's imaginary appointments with the dentist or sudden and unexplainable stomach aches, there can be no end to students' creativity. Yet, some stories can be so ridiculous, people can't help but question whether they are real. User minecraftplayer48 decided to ask the teachers of Reddit, "What was the best excuse for being late that turned out to be true?" As of this day, the thread has collected more than 9.7K comments full of examples of how people didn't make their wild stories up. From getting pulled over by the police to assisting with births, Bored Panda has collected some of the craziest answers from this thread. Check them out down below and, if you're up for it, share your own experiences in the comments! This post may include affiliate links. #1 I apologize that I'm writing this on mobile, so there might be errors. I'm an English professor, and one year a pretty good student showed up without one of his 2 major term papers. He explained that his safe had been stolen by a contractor who was working on their house. His laptop was in the safe, and that's where his paper was. I genuinely believe him because he been a really good student.
Then over the next few weeks, he started to show up to class looking very tired. He said that he was on a hunt for the person who stole his safe, and he was spending late nights with his cousin driving around looking for the guy because they knew his van. Now, the student and his cousin were both recently back from tours in Iraq and had seen combat experience. They wanted to find the guy to beat the s**t out of him and get the safe back because his wife's wedding ring was in the safe as well as a bunch of cash. He rewrote the paper and turned it in, apologetic that it wasn't up to his usual quality, but he still kept coming to class looking like he hadn't slept.
After a little while he came very happy to my office hours, and he reported that he found the guy after a long search that involved breaking into a meth den shaking people down with baseball bats and even bribing some prostitutes. He said that they found the guy's van at a Taco Bell after getting a tip from a prostitute, and they cornered him and waited for the police to come.
I read in the news that he had in fact done a citizen's arrest and stopped the guy at a Taco Bell, and that they ended up calling in the Secret Service because he used the cash that he stole from the safe to buy a bunch of counterfeiting equipment. Secret Service apparently investigates counterfeiting, so the whole investigation happened because this guy who I dub "the white Shaft" tracked the scumbag down through the bad side of town late at night to get a wedding ring, some cash, and his research paper back. It all turned out to be true. He got the ring and the laptop back. I gladly accepted his original paper, and it got a much higher grade than the rewrite. kidnuggett606 , William Murphy Report Final score: 808points POST Stefanie Schimpf Stefanie Schimpf Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago That should be a movie! 523 523points reply View More Replies...

View more comments #3 This happened to me as a pupil; a very quiet, unassuming kid in our class came in to German with about five minutes of the class left.
We went to a Catholic school and the teachers were all quite strict and intimidating. Classes were usually silent, especially in junior school. When this boy came into class at the end of the lesson that day, the door flew inwards with such force that the teacher gave an audible gasp.
It had been raining heavily outside, his hair was plastered to his forehead. His blazer was dripping and sodden. He had mud caked into his trousers up to his knees, and he was breathing heavily.
The teacher exclaimed, ‘Brendan! What happened?’ We all stared up at him in shocked silence. This quiet, unassuming little boy let out a big sigh and just said, ‘I took a shortcut.’ And went straight to his seat.
That line became iconic in our school for years afterwards. lestat85 , Ahmed akacha Report Final score: 631points POST Rijkærd Rijkærd Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago This is hilarious.. 252 252points reply View More Replies...

A few weeks into the semester, I was headed from one building to another, which involved crossing the main road. Lo and behold, there was one very long funeral procession going by. I got a short video of it as proof, then stood on the sidewalk to let it go by.
Unfortunately, the procession made me five minutes late to class. I knocked on the door, and the professor came over to start to tell me off. I showed her the video.

Tutored him so he could pass seventh grade.

I couldn't actually get on the bus without her being right behind me, so I had to get off, bring her home, and call my dad to bring me to school. shoppy33 , Nati Melnychuk Report Final score: 336points POST Chicken Nugget Chicken Nugget Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Is your name mary? 126 126points reply View More Replies... View more comments #25 Had a college algebra teacher show up late or no show almost every class. The other students thought it was hilarious because if there’s no teacher for 15 mins you can leave. So we had no class a huge chunk of the semester and it really aggravated me. This is preyoutube and I was not understanding the math at all and the girl trying to tutor me didn’t speak English well and my grade for the first time ever in my life was suffering (and I’m paying for the class)
One day, teacher showed up about 20 mins late and I’m one of the few people who didn’t take off early and he angry walks in, slams his briefcase on the desk and says “I apologize for this semester. I have cancer. I’m dying” and then left.

So a trip to the hospital to get checked, and then school 3 hours late. I had small cuts all over my face from glass flying everywhere and had a really sore shoulder, but my teachers wouldn't believe me until police showed up because they forgot to get a statement from me. Apparently some of the other involved people died and the jerk got 8 years in prison. jogfx Report Final score: 294points POST Oopsydaisy Oopsydaisy Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago I would have just gone home.

"I had gym last period" was an accepted excuse to being late to classes because it was quite common to get caught by a train. They built a pedestrian tunnel under the tracks after I graduated HS. Side note - its hard to learn with train whistles going off because there's a school sidewalk crossing the tracks. 10 10points reply View More Replies... View more comments #29 My best story ever! I taught in a hard core inner city school. My student comes in at 10:30. I was like, dude, where were you. Oh, my bus was late. Yah, no. Why would your bus be three hours late. Well Miss, there was a drive by shooting. OMG are you okay? Someone shot at the bus? No ma’am, a kid shot a gun out of the bus. We got pulled over. The cops had to search everyone. The kid with the gun was literally the last kid to be searched. True story, you can’t make this s**t up. lotusblossom60 Report Final score: 281points POST An Co An Co Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago First, the it is ALWAYS the last to be searched because you don't stop until they find it.

He brought the flat tire back in the middle of the exam. Needless to say, the professor didn't expect that.

Edit: someone found a newspaper article on this. Turns out it was $200. He “earned” $100 for the first day and $100 when he returned the next day. I remembered $50, but it was 19 years ago.
