#50. Your Gi didn't pass the sniff test so you have to laundry.

That's a legit reason.

Yes, but if one was prepared one would have already done laundry.

That's why I have 3 uniforms.

- I stubbed my toe on the way out the door to come to class (actually heard from a sensei).
- Gotta take the kids to X, Y, Z.
- I pulled X, Y, Z muscle.
- etc etc etc......

I broke a toe practicing an axe kick and accidentally hitting my desk. Still went to TKD class, still did a backflip and practiced trick kicks.

- Gotta take the kids to X, Y, Z.

Got a family in my school that is doing this: gotta take the kid to football. Which could be another (if it's not on the list already) from the kid's perspective: doing a different sport in school. At my TKD dojang we have a kid who's doing football and a girl who's doing basketball. Not to mention I originally quit way back when to do wrestling.

Thankfully you're made of tougher stuff than that particular instructor.

I really have no issue with missing classes.....but when I start hearing excuses like "stubbing ones toe"....makes me want to hurl. Just say it like it is.....you didn't want to teach/go to class/losing interest/too tired etc etc. At least that's more honest.

Actually it was the top of the toe that hurt. I couldn't kick bags (and still kick about 50% force).

I dislocated my second toe on my right foot at someones black belt grading, had to jog a few minutes later. Didn't miss a class, the only thing I did was not kick the kicking shield with a right front kick for a few weeks. Two years later my toe still has a bit of extra movement in it.
