Excuses

Excuses can be a good thing...and they can be a bad thing......

What were some of your greatest excuses that you used to get out of situations....(ie: school, work, etc.)

but to me at least, you have shown that you are at least willing to admit when you have made a mistake, and take the lumps, and for that, I salute you.

Keep growing, and you should make a fine person some day.

Ok Diz this is a good topic so no more insults please.

One of my best excuses was when I was 18 and there was curfews if you were under 18 and I got drunk so was picked up by the cops and told them not to tell my aunt cause my uncle had died and she was already upset to just take me home. They did. Thing is my uncle had been dead 2 yrs and my aunt and him had been divorced for maybe 6 yrs.:rolleyes:

I was not trying to insult, just the topic got changed when I was typing my reply to his initial post, and I was complimenting Maderic on his facing up to the mistakes and apologising for them.

If it came across as an insult, I apologise, that was not the intention. :o

This could be funny so come on people what are some excuses you have used along the way of life.

No one likes my thread? Or is everyone "goody-goodies" and has never used an excuse in their life?

In my junior year in high school, during study hall....when the teacher wasn't in the room, I opened the window and jumped out of the window and onto the ground. The next day when the teacher asked me, I said that my mom needed me and I had just left the school.....

No one was the wiser.....

No, it's just that I was never good at thinking up "cool" and "exciting" excuses good enough to post.

You know. I only practice the usual, Oh I'm sorry. Av left it back at house...
Or
"My mum is sending it to me." Next week "The post over there isnt very good."

[DV8]

There is also the, "Oh you said questions 1-20. I thought you said 1 and 20!..."

[DV8]

The one I use most regularly is, "The printers arent working in the library, but I have it on the harddrive."

:D --> This face, always works.

When the clocks so forwards. Just sleep in an extra hour and say you didnt put your clock forwards.

I once told a teacher at a social that my friend wasn't drunk she was just allergic to Red Bull and drank too much of it.....needless to say it didn't work :rolleyes:

A friend and I once set off a home-made rocket in school grounds. It promptly exploded, and we turned around to discover we had done this in full view of a teacher.

We told him it was a scientific experiment. :D

Amazingly, he bought it, and just told us not to do it again. We didn't do *that* again, of course. Next time, we made sure he was nowhere near the launch site. :D

One time I wanted to leave the school early, so I went to my teacher to say that I'd like to go home because I felt sick (I didn't, I just wanted to leave). But before I did that, I punched myself to guts to have a good "sick-face" on. It did hurt, actually, more than I imagined. At least I got the permission.

And the good old "sorry, I'm not from here" always works:D
