Best excuse for not having homework done

[strangeirish]

Let's hear 'em. You know, like the dog ate it, etc...

[The Stars]

I actually used this one and got away with it.
"Sorry sir,i had it done in my old copy but I threw it out when it was full"

[sligoman]

Lamest one I ever used was "I forgot my copy in school so I couldn't do it". It was always met with a response of "and have you no pages at home?" :D :o

[Risteard]

:D :D
Are ya serious sir?
Twas Champions League night last night.

[Lionel Ritchie]

Whatever about homework the best one I ever heard for arriving in late was a chap in my year who had to explain repeatedly, and with extra detail so as to make the turn of events clear, that on his way to school he'd sped down a narrow walled laneway on his mountain bike only to find some tosser had just about blocked the opening with two bins. Yer boy on the bike (mis)calculated he could just about squeeze the bike through. He didn't. In fact he wedged the bike firmly between the two bins, closing off the laneway and needing to get some local men of stout build and firm back to help him unjam it.

Kid could've lost his legs but it was feckin hilarious at the time:D

[Conor H]

Classic and still works now...
"forgot my copy sir":D

[The Stars]

In college a few weeks ago the teacher asked one fella why he hasnt been in for the past few classes.The students reply...."Bird Flu sir"

[superfrank]

I remember I once said "but you had my copy" and the teacher frantically searched her bag for it.

Worst excuse I heard was "We had homework?"

[el tk]

Worst one I've ever heard:

Teacher: Where's you homework?

Student: I thought it was optional.

[harpskid]

Ah but sir Harps were playing away last night!

I actually used this one and got away with it.
"Sorry sir,i had it done in my old copy but I threw it out when it was full"

i just told bredin i didnt do it cos i was thrown out of the class:D

i think the best is the one you used...i forgot my copy was not getting me by back then

[Risteard]

The most ridiculous one that i really did hear was a fella in about third class saying

I had to go out and play.

[the ox]

I left my homework in the rain

[Rory H]

i know a lad in college whos homework is exactly that:D

the worst i heard was i didnt have a pen

it seemed logical at the time:D

[tiktok]

"I decided I'd prefer to do something more challenging"

[ollie]

"My father and his friend were watching blue movies all night and i was the only one who could work the video player"
an actual excuse and he got away with it.

worst i used myself though was i'd have about half of an essay done and i'd say i was doing this work late at night and fell asleep at the table.
got away with too.:p

[Peadar]

Told my maths teacher once that I couldn't do my homework because I didn't understand the formula being used. Instead of punishing me, she did my homework for me. :D

[The Stars]

"I didnt have a home to do my Homework in"....works like a charm

[Rory H]

"my mum ate my homework"

your mother has to be a dog though...

ive heard it a few times in sligo:D

[A face]

"my mum ate my homework"

your mother has to be a dog though...

ive heard it a few times in sligo:D


Classic !! :D

[Rory H]

"i walked in on my mum on top of the principal so the principal said i dont have to do my homework anymore if i dont tell anyone......and i do pass maths miss"

[The Stars]

The electricity went off and we had no candles,so I was in the dark

[Rory H]

i remember a lad in maths class...he couldnt do his homework because someone broke into his house and stole his maths book!!:D it was actually true

then there was an rather scary lad who had his house burned down...therefore he couldnt comment on yeats poetry:D

[The Stars]

My goldfish ran away Sir,so i was looking for him all night.

[The Stars]

For anyone who doesnt believe this it is actually true.I was in the same class as wild rover when this happened.

[Rory H]

i was going to do it sir but eh...i couldnt be arsed


one lad said that in primary school...he threatens me at work regulary:D

[Rory H]

i didnt do my homework in irish class because the teacher doesnt care

thats summerhill college,sligo for all you parents:D

i love that "we had homework??" routine..worked like a charm on certain hungover angry maths teachers on monday mornings:D

[The Stars]

so true wild rover.
I was deep sea diving over the weekend Sir so couldnt do any homework

[The Stars]

I had women problems.....The male teachers never ask any more questions

[glentoranfan]

I used a few . In primary school I said 'my brother was sick on the sheets.' In the grammar I said 'I did not hear you say we had such and such an exercise too, I thought it was only the first one'

[The Stars]

I didnt think we had school today

[A face]

Secondary school ... one of the lads skipped a few classes and one of the teachers for those classes bumped into him in the corridor and asked him why he wasn't in class and he just blurted out "cos my dad was in a car crash !!" :eek:

She was really sympathetic towards him and kept on asking him throughout the year how his father was doing, and how was his recovery. He was sh!tting it for 6 months that she'd find out !! We kept winding him up over it ... "Miss, Miss ... Tims dad won the marathon" just as she was walking in or out of the room !! :D

[Da Real Rover]

i just told bredin i didnt do it cos i was thrown out of the class:D

i think the best is the one you used...i forgot my copy was not getting me by back then
Bredin what a legend, i always thought that the only way that woman became a teacher was by collecting ten tayto wrappers, its possible, it was summerhill. One thing that did confuse me was that they called bredin onion, because she looked like one and they called reynolds moses because he looked like moses. I felt that reynolds was more deserving of onion, you know the smell of him brings a tear to your eye.
Best excuse for me was the frantically lookin through your bag act until the teacher forgets about you, works like a charm.

[De Town]

i always use the old "miss, i forgot my copy so i did it on a sheet and......well.....i lost the sheet"

my friend didnt bother doing his spanish homework so he told the teacher that she said that they could do it if they wanted....she didnt know any better so she let him away with it....

[Conor H]

i always use the old "miss, i forgot my copy so i did it on a sheet and......well.....i lost the sheet"
Forgot about that one...always use it in french class!!:D

[The Stars]

the camel had pups so was taking care of them all weekend.
This can be used for any animal really

[Peadar]

...always use it in french class!!:D

I remember I did my French homework once.
The teacher wouldn't collect it off me because she said it was probably copied. :o

[Thunderblaster]

Student: I didn't do my homework sir because the extra-curricular activities has serious ramifications on my social events that are very conspicuous to my personal life.

Teacher: Explain that to me in English?:D :D

[nismo]

'was stayin in my nans house so didnt have time to do it' used work for me!

[Ash]

I remember a lad in my maths class many moons ago said he
had spilled shampoo on his copy and couldnt bring it in!

Teacher couldnt think of a reply!

[Bosco]

"Well,you see sir the weekends my rest time"-used on one of the angriest teachers in the school,he just laughed was very strange.

"Ah ya see miss,you had me standing outside the door when you gave the homework"

In Leaving cert,when are teacher finally snapped as to why we didnt seem to care about anything.We convinced her that we were all doing aprenticeships and didnt need the leaving
