'I need to see the guidance counsellor, I'm not feeling well.' I use it as soon as I realise that we had something due that day, rather than going just as I'm being asked for homework. Unfortunately, since I've gotten over my depression, I can't use it as an excuse anymore. But yeah, generally 'I forgot my USB/I left it at home/I forgot to print it this morning/you said it was due tomorrow!' all work pretty well.
Lying about homework wasn't so much lying to teachers about not having it done on time for me. It was more about keeping my parents off my back. They could be quite overbearing during my high school years.
Though I never actually told a bold-faced lie. More like, being crafty and selective with the truth. >
"Its under control" was my tagline.

Most of my teachers of the years, were more pleased by an honest admission that I didn't do it than they ever were by some bullshitty excuse. No matter how believable it sounds, teachers are so used to getting excuses it's not even funny. They see right through it. So, I generally just come clean. Though, an excuse isn't likely to get you too far in college anyways, so it's best to do like I said and earn a little respect with the truth.
In my school "The printer is broken" would never have flown.
One teacher I had said: " And I don't want to hear "Oh my printer broke" or "I forgot to print it" or "My power is out" or "The printer broke" okay? I'm telling you about the assignment a week and a half in advance, and you should always count on technology to fail you when you need it most".

I just do it before class...
But I had a funny conversation with my teacher. We were bored to tears.
Me and a buddy of mine started improp acting...
It ended by me killing myself in an overdone way by sword.
At which point our teacher looked at us and said: "What the hell are you guys doing?"
To which I replied: "I'm killing myself!"

I always used to say I didn't do it, I never cared about getting into trouble.
I remember in year 7 we had to write a poem in English as homework for a competition, I "forgot" and wrote mine while the Teacher was going around the room collecting the rest of the classes (about 2mins)... I went on to win that competition ^_^

I regularly hear "my printer broke" or something related to "technical difficulties". Easiest solution has always been to just make the student I'm dealing with write it out on paper, or accept the automatic failed grade for an incomplete assignment. It helps a TA when the supervising professor agrees with the philosophy that "if you did it on the computer, you can rewrite the gist of it out now."
If it was computer work, I changed the extension on a random useless file so it would be "corrupted".
Best: my dog ate it. which ironically was true.
Worst: wheres your homework?
eh....
did you do it?
no.
They were both before the teachers got strict with us, now its best to just do the homework. Although coming clean and being honest never works, thats how i get detentions. lying 90% of the time got me out of it.

I can't find it, will get it in tomorrow. Works because my file was always a mess. Teachers didn't mind because I was a good student and I was always came good on my words.
Most of the time it was true. Only a few times it was false and I didn't finish it.

Teacher: "Where's your homework?"
Myself: "I didn't do it."
Teacher: "Why not?"
Myself: "Toonami was on and nothing else mattered."

Funny how many times this story ends up being the actual truth. I had a mate in high school who was taking care of his first puppy. The next day he came in with his homework nibbled on everywhere. You could actually see the little teeth marks on the paper.Darkgoosey666 said:
