5 Ways To Be Late And Get Away With It! |

Page 1 of 2 I ought to get paid for this. After all, I am imparting a skill that all most undergraduates need.
Before
I begin, let it be known that professors may make self-deprecating
jokes and all, but YES they are still generally much smarter than their
students, and can probably tell, from their
years of experience, the difference between a genuine excuse and a lame one.
So
show your professor some respect – a snide “my bus broke down” is not
creative, plain lame, and not worth mentioning, even though that does happen. Let the seasoned players give you an analysis of the 5 excuses that may pull you through, or drag you down.
1. Run up a long flight of stairs, pant excessively and sprint into class.
Pros: The professor will probably not want to hear any of your excuses because
firstly, you are panting, and secondly, it is highly un-glamorous
to talk and pant at the same time. In lieu of the second reason, the
professor will probably allow you to take a seat, catch your breath, and hopefully forget to interrogate you in front of the class.
Cons: You will look like a dishevelled, panting dog.
2. Tell your professor you thought your watch was set to (insert country) time or you simply couldn't find the class
Pros: This is only going to work in Week One, and lucky
international/exchange students will get to work this excuse to the max. The professor will probably laugh along with the
class and everyone will remember you as the ditz who got stuck in between timezones, or the klutz who got lost. Well, at least this excuse can buy you some time!
Cons: The excuse of living in the wrong time zone can probably last you a week, and earn you the reputation of being ditzy. But local students take note, you will look incredibly
retarded when using this excuse.
The latter excuse, however, can only be used once. Try that again and risk incurring wrath.
3. Walk into class and drop everything you are holding.
Note: Another variation will include falling over on your knees, immediately after you
walk into class. Rolling down the stairs is a dramatic extension and
while amusing, is not encouraged.
Pros: You get to distract the professor and will look too flustered, albeit
sad/pathetic, for the professor to interrogate you in front of the class.
Cons: You will also disrupt the class, which is what a latecomer
should never do. You will also greatly annoy your
professor and be blacklisted… forever. Maybe.
