Most people have used excuses when they were late, either for class, a date, or another occasion. People are always late due to different circumstances, but they must take the responsibility for that. In many cases, they refuse to do so and blame it on whatever. There are people who would come up with all sorts of excuses to cover up their mistake, and this is what this list is about. We know that some individuals are able to exceed all expectations and create the kind of scenario that would be worthy of a Hollywood movie. Still, some of the most curious or even impossible excuses are sometimes true, and a lot of Reddit users commented on the matter, sharing the excuses they have heard that sounded absurd but turned out to be true. You can read the whole discussion on Reddit.
1. The former student

Some professors are not the type to neglect their students’ mishaps, and this one even offered help after learning this horrible excuse.
2. The organ student

Here is how one student was very close to wasting their excuse for being late. Most people would never believe this story, but the teacher happened to know why this was the truth.
3. The hometown

Here is something that could actually be the kind of universal excuse most people need. There is no telling just how many people have used this excuse without the other party knowing if it was true or not.
4. The class

Now, this must have been an awkward situation for both sides, but we guess that the professor should have thought twice before asking such a question. We are convinced that people should sometimes avoid such remarks.
5. The period class

This person managed to get away with a weird excuse that was not verified, but it was too specific to be questioned. Plus, the teacher approved of the additional activity.
6. The exam

We know that people are sometimes too famous for their own good, and this student’s reputations was the reason nobody bought his excuse. It seems he proved them wrong.
7. The car

We guess this teacher is worthy of applause, as she made everything she could to reach the classroom and do he job. This is something admirable, considering the situation she was in.
8. The cement

Here is how one person decided to earn some easy money and become famous for a day. His teacher chose to buy this story, and it was confirmed later.
9. The lesson

Now, this is the kind of excuse we would accept any day! There are moments when people would probably think a kid would never be this honest, but kids are mostly honest when it comes to explaining innocent things.
10. The sister

Some kids have more than an excuse to be late, and this post is the perfect example. This student had a rough time being the adult in her family, but the teacher knew what she had to do to support her.
11. The friend

It seems that some excuses are very convenient, and we know that these girls were lucky enough to get away with what they did. They even had the chance to get some food in the process.
12. The goat

This must have been the weirdest excuse ever, and we can already hear how it sounded when this student said what happened. We think that this goat really liked the boy in order to follow him to the bus stop.
13. The house

Of all the weird excuses someone could make, this is probably one of the least likely to have happened for real, but it apparently did, at least in this case. We hope they had insurance.
14. The lightning

We guess that the chances of this happening are pretty slim, and we think the least of this person’s worries are related to the excuse she needed to give for being late.
15. The student

It appears that this person knew right away that he would have one awesome excuse for being absent from classes that day, and we guess that they just had to believe him.
16. The medical situation

Now, this is what we call an unusual situation, and there is no wonder this person was missing for a day. It seems that having such an experience is rare.
17. The friends

It is true that some people have their own destiny, but this person was probably fed up with tourists taking pictures with her. We guess the only benefit was skipping class from time to time.
18. The bus

We know that some individuals would never believe this, but it all depends on how badly the windshield was cracked. There are moments when things must simply be done the right way.
19. The chickens

It seems that some students already know that their excuse would be too absurd for their teachers to believe. As you can see from the example above, it is always worth trying to explain what really happens.
20. The festival

Here is one hilarious reason for being late, and we need to admit we chuckled when we saw this post. There is nothing wrong with kids having fun, but the whole thing is just so funny and awesome at the same time.
21. The parents

We know that some people would never do this, but we think that this person’s parents were awesome for doing their offspring a favor. We wish this happened to us from time to time.
22. The biker

We know that this person was supposed to go straight to the doctor’s office, but he obviously chose to join class despite being late. Most kids have had similar experiences when riding a bike, that’s for sure.
23. The turkeys

This is one post that some people would probably relate to, as it is not that uncommon for wild turkeys or other birds to block a road. The user who posted this is correct about the turkeys’ unwillingness to move in most cases.
24. The early hours

Here is how the corporate field grooms some people into believing they need to come to work no matter what. We guess this person just had to take a couple of days off to live through the stress.
25. The bear

Well, this is surely not the average story one could hear now and then, not to mention that it would never pass as a plausible excuse for being late for school. The news surely saved this person from trouble.
26. The professor

This is something that sounds like a scene from a movie, but since this person drove one of the toughest cars out there, we guess there is no wonder he was okay after such a stunt.
27. The library

It seems that some people would never believe this story, and it also sounds like this person’s professor could not care less about what happened.
28. The event

There are some trivial reasons to be late, and this one is surely one of them. Still, it is admirable that this person arrived at all, risking being involved in an accident after driving without windscreen wipers.
29. The homework

There are people who sometimes push things too far, and this person did it. This is one example of how a teacher had the audacity to say something they shouldn’t and got what they deserved.
30. The teacher

We guess that nobody could blame this teacher for doing what he did. There is always time to listen to this legendary song one more time, and we salute this person for having a great taste in music.
31. The collision

We think that some people are too keen on doing what they are supposed to, regardless of the changing circumstances. As you can see here, this student chose to still join class instead of going to the hospital.
32. The dog

This is a textbook example of one of the most popular excuses for not having homework. There seems to be no way a teacher would believe this, except if they saw it captured on video.
33. The class

We guess some people are not exactly willing to go to school or work, so they come up with an excuse after they are late. In this case, the student even took the wrong class.
34. The day

There are moments when people get confused to the point they no longer remember what day of the week it is. It is the kind of unbelievable situation not many people would believe.
35. The bike

We guess that this would sound like a cliche, but we guess it can sometimes be a legitimate excuse. This person really had a reason to drive in swirls, resulting in a police check.
