Not ethical: If you have to submit assignments (like .docx files) online and you haven't finished it in time, take a random .docx file and edit it in a text editor (like notepad) and add/delete some random stuff. You can send this file and the professor won't be able to open it so you will get an extension by default.

Just ask for an extension. Professors have seen this "trick" a thousand times and know exactly what you're doing. They will respect you more and give you more leeway in the future if you're straight with them.
