Not as bad as that but I schived offuniversity to go to Edinburgh and told my tutor my Gran had died - all my grandparents were dead already, so it wasn't too bad. I didn't have to do any more essays that year.

Dead grandparentsWhile a student I got an overdraft extension by telling the bank I needed the money to go to New York to attend my grandfather's funeral. The New York bit was true. My grandad was alive and well in Southampton though

straight to hell!To get an extension on an essay at college i said a 98-year-old friend of the family had died. Two days later, said friend fell over and had a heart attack. I couldn't make the funeral, but still used the exuse to get a day off college and another extension.

In my first job after graduation....I took a day off because my gran died. One week later I did it again. Funny thing was it was absolutely true, both of them really did die within a week of each other. My boss never called me liar and but I'm sure he privately thought that I was.
