10 weird excuses workers use when late to work

[koalabear]

Sure, we've all had rough mornings, and sometimes the weirdest things do happen that prevent us from getting to work on time. I've walked all the way to the train station, only to realize I didn't have my fare card. That was an extra 20 minutes lost. But never have I blamed my tardiness on my cat's hiccups, but apparently some people have. Poor kitty.

Employee thought she had won the lottery (she didn't).

Employee got distracted watching the "Today" show.

Employee's angry roommate cut the cord to his phone charger, so it didn't charge and his alarm didn't go off.

Employee believed his commute time should count toward his work hours.

Employee claimed a fox stole her car keys.

Employee's leg was trapped between the subway car and the platform (turned out to be true).

Employee said he wasn't late, because he had no intention of getting to work before 9:00 a.m. (his start time was 8:00 a.m.)

Employee was late because of a job interview with another company.

Employee had to take a personal call from the state governor (turned out to be true).

How about employee.. My wife finally put out and I couldn't turn it down. We haven't had sex in a month.lol

or sorry guys but couldn't pass up the blow job the wife was giving..

My husband hasn't been late, but close to it. Funny thing is if he would have been, he would have told them why. The guys all go around bragging about what sex things they have done or had done. So I of course need to give my husband bragging rights.lol

Posting excuses for being late to work is the closest the OP has ever come to having a job.

My first foreman told me he worked with a guy who had to go home at lunchtime . . . to untie his girlfriend.


Seems he had forgotten her.

Dog ate the alarm clock. Not late because it didn't wake me up, but because I had to take the dumb runt to the vet.

Some of these make me think that I should have thought of them, others make me say, "really"?

Why would you lie about that? Male or female?

 

[Alexandra831]

I wouldn't think anyone would lie about it. Personally, I haven't really been late for work. If I thought I was going to be late, i would call before hand and give some warning.

I have heard a fellow worker though.. use we had a flat tire (more then once)

How about the day lights savings time, and forgetting to change the clock.

My ex-boss always called in late or was home sick (hung over).lol
