sortof cheats
no one ever remembered the rule that you're allowed to knock the ball out of people's hands. excellent value when you are a) shit at netball and b) someone stands aiming at the goal for aeons. of course, if no one remembers, they are immediately going to assume you're being a dick which means an 'accidental' whacking.

lying down on the bench press machine because it is low down and therefore mostly hidden from pe teacher eyes.

staying mum and crouching down near the back when teams are being picked for sports such as relay race. cant have more than 4 per team. oh no. you got missed out? you'll just have to be the person in charge of the stop watch again.

not actually bothering to have your go in rounders and cricket. everyone's sitting down. nobody notices.

your ball has gone "missing" in the bushes during outdoor tennis. you're going to have to hunt for it for fifteen minutes, possibly half an hour until the teacher remembers.

not so much of a cheat. not being able to run anymore because you might be sick.

milking an injury. i get nose bleeds at the drop of a hat. whilst incredibly messy, they dont hurt. usually good to get the rest of the lesson off.

faking an injury. falling over is funny in real life but painful and potentially life threatening in PE.

being so 'late' coming from the last lesson so that you have to catch everyone up on the field / gym. faffing around for half an hour because no one is supervising you changing.

but never use the forgotten pe kit excuse. there's always a scummy box in the office of lost clothes for you to borrow.
