Funny/strange excuses for not coming to work
|
Posted about 1 month ago I am interested in hearing funny or strange excuses that employees have used as the reason for not coming to work. For example, I was told recently that "I was in jail" and another said "my cat deficated (used a differnt word) all over the house and I didn't have any clean clothes to wear". What have you heard from your employees? |

| Posted about 1 month ago I had an employee call in stating that he would not be at work due to the fact that his car broke down and he needed to fix it but, the caller ID showed that he was calling from an internal phone located in shipping. One employee called in saying he had ran over himself with his pick-up truck. |

| Posted about 1 month ago The best one I heard was an employee called in from our parking lot. He said he was going to be late because the door handle on his car just broke off and he was locked inside. He said that he needed to go to a auto mechanic to get it unlocked. |

| Posted about 1 month ago I had a co-worker call in because she was pulled over for speeding (you could hear the officer in the background talking to the driver-who also worked in the same department). |

| Posted about 1 month ago One of my direct reports called to inform me she was unable to come to work because her "baby" injured his finger (first aid). Needless to say, the "baby" is 34 years old. |
