  • I forgot to come back to work after lunch

  • I couldn't find my shoes

  • I hurt myself bowling

  • I was spit on by a venomous snake

  • I totaled my wife's jeep in a collision with a cow

  • A hitman was looking for me

  • My curlers burned my hair and I had to go to the hairdresser

  • I eloped

  • My brain went to sleep and I couldn't wake it up

  • My cat unplugged my alarm clock

  • I had to be there for my husband's grand jury trial

  • I had to ship my grandmother's bones to India

Good but who would ever believe them?

Here are some I've heard:

"There is a really, really big mean dog outside my house and I have to wait for animal control to come and take the dog away!"

My girlfriend/boyfriend broke up with me and I need to move out.

I will be late as there is a man laying in front of my door and I'm not sure if he is dead or not, so I'm waiting for the police to come.

I was actually out in the parking lot the last two hours. A rabid dog wouldn't let me get out of my car.

Have any been used on you?
I had to call off because my horse died once. It was for real I was a backet case.....they wouldnt have wanted me there.

Maybe we should be paid bereavement for our pets. Very Happy

Believe it or not but I had to call in late one morning because the city snowplow broke down in front of my house. I couldn't get out my driveway because the plow was blocking the driveway. Confused

A woman I used to work with was late one day. She said it was because her husband had to poop. He drove her to work & just as they were heading out the door he had to go back to the bathroon. I said that is more information than I needed to know. But some people will tell you anything. True story.
