We had a kid in our class who was pure chaos. Came late all the time, forgot stuff, didn't do his homework, disruptive in class... you get the picture. One day he came to school over two hours late and said the bus he was on fell into a sinkhole. Everybody was like "yeah, right", until the news came in that there had indeed been a sinkhole from a tunnel construction and that indeed a bus had slipped into it. We never found out whether our classmate had actually been in it, but he swore he was.

This reminds me - I have a friend with cerebral palsy that missed the bus one day and decided to walk to school alone rather than getting a ride from someone else. Since our small town doesn't have a secondary school, we were bussed over to a neighboring town, so the school is about 14 km away. It took him over four hours to get there, and apparently no one ever stopped to help him. If memory serves, he missed his first five classes and arrived just in time for lunch.

Despite everyone's reaction to his decision, he attempted to walk alone again multiple times, including once in around 10 cm of snow. Luckily, my mom started driving me to school later after the first incident, so when he did try again, we'd see and convince him to ride with us.
