Excuse Files: unbelievable??

Dear Prof: I haven't been able to do my classwork for the past 2 weeks because my girlfriend moved in with me and she's always talking to me so I can't do my work. Everytime I get on the computer she starts talking and talking and talking. When she's not talking, the baby is crying or the dog is barking. I just can't do my work. Last weekend I moved in with my brother and now my girlfriend lives in my apartment and she won't give me my computer. I'm using my brother's computer but I can get you my work as soon as I get my computer back from my girlfriend.

Professor thinks: Hmmmmmm….. and you can't do your homework on the same computer you're using right now to email me all these excuses.

  2. LOL no this is true. In fact the original email from the student was three pages long. I just posted a synopsis here.
