everyone has had days when they just
0:01
can't face work or
0:03
school sometimes people come up with
0:05
reasonable excuses but other times the
0:08
creativity reaches hilarious new levels
0:11
whether it's sheer laziness a last
0:13
minute Panic or a completely bizarre
0:15
story some excuses are so funny that
0:17
they deserve recognition here are 10 of
0:20
the funniest excuses people have used to
0:22
skip work or school one my pet ate my
0:25
homework and my laptop the classic my
0:28
dog ate my homework excuse has been
0:30
around for years but some students take
0:32
it a step further one student reportedly
0:35
told their teacher my cat knocked my
0:37
laptop off the table and now my homework
0:40
is gone forever whether or not it was
0:42
true you have to admire the commitment
0:44
to blaming the pet two I'm stuck in my
0:47
house literally a person once called
0:50
their boss and said I can't come to work
0:52
today because my front door is frozen
0:54
shut while this might actually happen in
0:57
extremely cold weather it's suspicious
0:59
when the EXC is used in the middle of
1:01
summer either way the mental image of
1:04
someone desperately tugging at their
1:05
door and giving up is pretty hilarious
1:08
three I swallowed my house key one
1:11
student skipped school by telling their
1:13
teacher I accidentally swallowed my
1:15
house key and had to wait for my parents
1:17
to come home while this raises more
1:19
questions than answers the sheer
1:21
absurdity of it makes it one of the
1:23
funniest excuses ever hopefully they
1:26
didn't actually swallow the key four I'm
1:28
allergic to morning one clever employee
1:31
tried to get out of work by claiming I
1:33
have an allergy to mornings and my
1:35
doctor told me I need extra sleep while
1:38
most people can relate to the struggle
1:39
of waking up early this one probably
1:41
didn't fool their boss but hey it was
1:44
worth a shot five I can't find my shoes
1:48
a student once told their teacher I was
1:50
late because I couldn't find my left
1:51
shoe I checked under my bed in the
1:54
fridge and even in the laundry but it
1:56
was gone the funniest part they actually
1:59
showed up where wearing mismatched shoes
2:00
is proof six my car won't start because
2:04
a raccoon is sleeping on it one person
2:06
called their boss to say I can't come to
2:08
work today because there's a raccoon
2:10
sleeping on my car and I don't want to
2:12
disturb it while it's possible that a
2:14
wild animal might rest on a warm car
2:17
most people would just shoe it away this
2:20
person however decided to take the day
2:22
off instead seven I thought today was
2:25
Sunday a student once skipped school and
2:27
later told their teacher I honestly
2:30
thought it was Sunday so I stayed in bed
2:32
and watched cartoons while this excuse
2:35
might sound too ridiculous to be true
2:37
we've all had days where we lose track
2:39
of time at least they were honest eight
2:42
I got trapped in the bathroom one worker
2:45
called their boss and said I was locked
2:47
in my bathroom and my phone was in the
2:49
other room I had to wait until my
2:51
roommate came home to rescue me while it
2:53
sounds far-fetched bathroom door locks
2:56
can sometimes
2:57
malfunction imagine spending hours
2:59
waiting to be freed all while thinking
3:01
about the missed work day nine my
3:04
psychic told me not to leave the house a
3:06
particularly creative employee once said
3:09
my psychic warned me that something bad
3:11
would happen if I left the house today
3:13
so I'm staying home for my own safety
3:15
While most bosses probably wouldn't
3:17
accept this excuse you have to
3:19
appreciate the dedication to the
3:21
supernatural 10 I was chased by a goose
3:24
a student explained their absence by
3:26
saying I was walking to school and a
3:29
goose started facing me I had to run all
3:31
the way back home and by the time I felt
3:33
safe it was too late to go to class if
3:36
you've ever encountered an aggressive
3:38
Goose you know this excuse might
3:40
actually be completely valid people will
3:42
go to Great Lengths to avoid work or
3:44
school but these hilarious excuses prove
3:47
that sometimes the best way to skip is
3:49
to be completely ridiculous whether or
3:52
not they were believed is another story
