Everyone had their go-to lies back in the day when they hadn't done their homework on time. Whether it was blaming the dog for eating it, your little sister for throwing up on it, or pretending you were too sick to do it all together, our teachers always knew when we were lying. A Twitter thread containing some of the more sophisticated ways of getting out of submitting homework on time has gone viral, but they are too little too late. Unfortunately, technology is a little too sophisticated to allow for these "errors," but it would have really been useful back in the day. Oh well, it won't be long before this generation comes up with a hack list of their own for getting out of digital homework submissions.

    Font - Janine ... @jsbalek Replying to @TheMikeChase I actually convinced my fifth grade teacher that I submitted a massive project we all were supposed to have been working on for weeks that I never did and she just lost it. I can't believe I had the nerve. 5:54 AM · Jul 2, 2021 · Twitter for iPhone

    Font - PopehatlsStateAction @Popehat Replying to @TheMikeChase I hated math and in 7th grade I would just scrawl random numbers on my math homework worksheet and then drop it in a rain puddle 5:57 AM · Jul 2, 2021 · Twitter for iPad

    Font - Dylan Zwick @dylan_zwick Replying to @TheMikeChase When I was an undergrad I was taking a class from a Prof. Fox and there were two in the department. I showed up late to turn in my homework and found my prof had already picked up his mail. I put my homework in the other prof's box, and wasn't marked late. 6:01 AM · Jul 2, 2021 · Twitter Web App

    Font - SK @sonik0909 Replying to @TheMikeChase and @Popehat My 9th grade math teacher asked us to take out our homework worksheets so she could walk around the room & check that we'd all completed them. I hadn't done mine. I laid my NOT-completed worksheet on my desk & acted nonchalant. She walked up my row, glanced at it & never noticed. 6:02 AM · Jul 2, 2021 · Twitter Web App

    Font - joеpolitics @joepolitics4 Replying to @TheMikeChase One night in ~5th grade I realized I had a book report do the next day. So I made up a fake book and wrote a report on it. My teacher asked me to bring in the book because she'd never heard of it. Unfortunately, someone "apparently" took it from the school library. Got a B. 6:05 AM Jul 2, 2021 · Twitter Web App

    Font - Dr. Pepper's Husband (Kee Hinckley) @nazgul Replying to @TheMikeChase and @Popehat Oh trust me, there are ways. A certain person in my family who shall remains nameless once uploaded a paper full of nonsense in AppleWorks format knowing the teacher wouldn't be able to open it. By the time they complained it was unreadable they had written the real paper. 6:27 AM · Jul 2, 2021 · Twitter for iPhone

    Font - Cristóbal @cristoferdeo Replying to @TheMikeChase and @Popehat Reminds me... Once in college, a professor asked me for a paper. l'd forgotten about it. I played it cool & grabbed some brailled out papers (I'm blind) from my bag. I Went full helpless blindy reaching out trying to hand them to him. He was so flustered he said never mind. 6:42 AM · Jul 2, 2021 · Twitterrific for iOS

    Font - find your trube. love then @swimsinsilver SwimslnSilver hard Replying to @TheMikeChase In the early days of email I convinced an older, not tech savvy professor l'd emailed him my paper knowing he wouldn't want to admit he didn't really understand what I was talking about. He asked how I thought I did and we ultimately settled on a B- after talking thru the concept 6:48 AM · Jul 2, 2021 · Twitter for iPhone
