A New Low

[fictional]

One of our students has now claimed that they were kidnapped and held captive by their boyfriend and this is why they have not been attending class.

!!!

This was the information provided after an email sent to them, informing them that they had been absent for about ten days and were in danger of repeating the course.

Question: Did their boyfriend allow them to come to the keyboard just to respond to this query?

I weep for humanity.

I also wonder if this job is making me unduly cynical. But seriously. Kidnapped???

I have to admire the outrageous and creative boldness of this excuse. Go for the gold in being unbelievable if that's the direction you're going to take.

I really did think it was on par with the whole -"was abducted by aliens, couldn't come to class-ness" of it all but it's all now escalated insanely.

I really really hate this place!
