No one wants to go to school, especially when the weather is still nice. That's why you need to have some good excuses ready that you can use when you decide to play hooky. Don't have any? Well, you're in luck, because here are a few of the funniest excuses you could ever use for skipping class:
1 I’m Allergic to Responsibility
The older you get, the more responsibilities you have. Of course, most of them aren't any fun, which is why sometimes you just have to rebel.
***
Taking adulting with a pinch of salt, sometimes sneezing at the mere mention of bills, deadlines, and appointments—that must be the histamines reacting. You can bet if there were an antihistamine for shrugging off duties, it would sell like hotcakes at a Sunday brunch. Donning the invisible cloak of denial, we might find ourselves amusingly whispering to our to-do lists, "You can't see me," as we stealthily sidestep them. It’s the little rebellious streak that keeps things spicy—because, let's face it, being a grown-up can feel like a bland diet of endless obligations.

This one's especially risqué and not for the faint-hearted, but hey, when desperation kicks in, all bets are off, right? Do remember, however, this excuse leans heavily on the outrageous side and might just leave your educator questioning your priorities, not to mention your sense of appropriateness!

***
It's no secret that college students often find themselves skipping class for a variety of reasons. From needing a break from the stress of studying to just wanting to sleep in, there are plenty of excuses to get out of class. But if you need a funny excuse to use when skipping class, you can always tell your professor that you thought you needed some time apart.
It's a funny excuse that might get a laugh out of your professor, but it's also a valid reason. After all, too much time spent together can be unhealthy for any relationship. So if you and your professor have been spending too much time together, it might be a good idea to take a break.
Of course, if you decide to use this excuse, make sure you explain it in a respectful way. After all, you don't want to offend your professor or make them think you're not taking your studies seriously.
If you want to make the excuse even funnier, you can even include a gif of someone looking away from each other with a caption saying "I thought we needed some time apart". It's sure to get a chuckle out of your professor and it might even be enough to get you out of class for the day.
9 Why Are You so Obsessed with Me?
If your teacher keeps asking you why you were absent, hit them with this question. It'll teach them to keep their nose out of your business.
10 I Made Too Much Food and Couldn’t Let It Go to Waste
You're broke, so it would be painful to let an entire cake go to waste, wouldn't it?
11 I Was in Jail
Unless your teacher goes to the police to find out if you're telling the truth, it's an excuse they can't argue with.
12 Netflix Needed Me More than You Did
You can't leave your buddy Netflix alone for too long, or you'll both suffer. That's why you decided to take a sick day to lounge on your couch and binge watch random shows.
13 I Actually Wanted to Have a Good Day
This is about as honest as you can get. After all, if you ever want to have a good day, the obvious thing to do is skip class.
14 I Knew I'd Learn More on the Internet than in Class
If you spend the day searching the web instead of sitting in class, you might actually learn more from Google than from your professors. It's funny how the world works.
15 I Had a Severe Allergic Reaction to Your Syllabus
You don't want to lie about having allergic reactions to peanut butter or any other food. That's why you should take the honest route by blaming the syllabus.
16 I Forgot Where the Room Was
If you couldn't find your classroom, then how could you make it to class? It's an impossible task.
17 My Mental Health Comes First
This one is more honest than comical. Your mental health is more important than your grades, after all.
Your teachers might not appreciate these excuses, but they certainly are funny. What's the most ridiculous excuse you've ever used for skipping class?
