I’ve never had this experience. Almost all of my professors and most of teachers would have seen this, chuckled, accepted my apology, and then requested a better intro due the next day.

Most of my professors explicitly recognized that we would finish things last minute, cram the night before, be sleep deprived, or otherwise not be great with our schedule. And they did not discourage us with that information but rather tried to aid or alleviate it. I had professors say “I scheduled this exam to be due at 5:30pm on a Friday so that you can enjoy your weekend and not worry about completing this at midnight at a party.”

I think many teachers are much cooler than their students realize, they’re just people and while they have expectations, most teachers won’t spit in your face when you’re expressing yourself genuinely or trying in earnest.
