What's the worst excuse you have ever heard from someone?

I'll take the easy way out..

The worst excuse I have ever heard is [Drumroll please] "my dog ate my homework" :p

"I thought it would break the monotony."

"I didn't know how deep it was."

"I just stripped him and duct-taped him. I don't know how the carrot got in his ass."

"I'm no longer a danger to society."

:)

Other than "I didn't know she was dead"? I heard one of my former friends who used to sell used cars tell a foreign man who was about to buy a car from him that the noise while the car was idling was just the flux capacitor and that he could get it replaced at any auto mechanic's for $50.

Worst excuse I've ever heard was "But it worked last time!" (just so it is known, it, in fact, didn't work last time. The dumbass only thought he'd figured it all out).

I'm eagerly anticipating the day someone uses "But, a poll on NS General told me that it was the right thing to do!", as their excuse, though.

"It seemed like a good idea at the time."

"It seemed like a good idea at the time."

I live my life by that statement. :)

1"Im Cripple"

2 " My Bus tiped over and burned"

3" Im with Stupid"

4" Has anyone told you how pretty you are today:rolleyes: "

"I can't come into work today because a power line fell and it is laying across my driveway"

Belive it or not someone I knew actualy called into work with that. A couple of days later they fired her.

"I just stripped him and duct-taped him. I don't know how the carrot got in his ass."


This one is the bad excuse to end all bad excuses. Can I PLEASE put this in my sig? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Well, too bad, I'm putting it in anyway.

Enjoy. :) You aren't complete until you have one of my sayings in your sig. :cool:

"my dog ate my homework" :p

I have seen that happen once in my lifetime. My brother's homework was eaten by the dog. Fortunately, he had the evidence: the ripped shreds of his homework with dog teeth marks :P

"I can't come into work today because a power line fell and it is laying across my driveway"

And that's a pretty damn good reason not to go to work. Power lines are quite dangerous. Course, it better be true. Lying to stay home isn't a good idea. (There are some power lines you don't want to go near to. First, you need to contact some emergency services and let Them figure it out.)


No, I have nothing to contribute.

The one i used

I had a conflict of priorities
(Laymens terms, "I didn't want to")

And i got away with it.

Just trying to think of one...

I didn't want to go to a friend's birthday party because she had invited a load of far-out people that I didn't like. And so, I used:

"I'm really sorry, I can't, it's my Grandmother's 65th birthday and she's having a party that's been planned for months. I'm really sorry."

Pathetic, I know, but I was put under pressure.

Power lines cannot hurt rubber. You can drive over one in a car and not get hurt.

Thanks.
So you're not complete either?
You don't have any of your sayings in your sig.

Just so I don't end up accidentaly hijacking this thead, there's "Why not?".

At that high of a voltage, I wouldn't be surprized.
And it's not exactly something you want to check.

Thanks.

That would be the ultimate in arrogance to sig yourself. My opinion of me just isn't that high; I've known me far too long.

Wow. This thread has THREE conversations going on the FIRST PAGE.

If the power line is dangerous enough, you will not be able to get to your car in the first place. It's one of those things I learned in first aid. If you are in a car and a power cable falls on it, you stay inside. If you are far away enough to not get fried, you don't approach, not even with rubber boots, because you have no way of knowing how powerful that cable is and if it's powerful enough, then rubber will not be a problem.

The Lamest: "I didn't feel like it."

The Stupidest: "I was too drunk last night."

The Worst: Absolutely no response whatsoever.

a truly powerful cable, the electricity can jump to above rubber, hit the object (you or the car) and then jump to either a grounded object, or hte ground itself.

"I had rigor mortis"

The worst but the funniest I've heard is :
I don't do homeworks on days that ends with "y".

That was actually the best I'd ever heard 'cause the kid brought the paper in, in a plastic bag, all ripped up, chewed and wet. You could see the teeth marks too.

the only time i've ever heard that, the teacher accepted it. no one uses it because it's so classic, so when it is used, it flies.

My personal favorite: "I couldn't think of a good reason not to."

"i didnt know i couldnt do that"

"god told me to" and "It wasntt wrong until I got caught."

"I swear officer, she told me she 18, I didnt know she was four."

It's your fault!

"I'm sorry, I just like your sister better now."

Actually, that's a pretty good excuse.

Any excuse resulting from "Hey, I got an idea!"
