Best Late For Work Excuses

[sunny-dave]

The best that was ever offered to me was by a (perpetually late, but actually very valuable) member of my team who arrived just before 12 noon, for an 8:45 start, looking very rumpled ...

"I was on my way out to the car and dropped my keys in the grass

Which was so long that I couldn't find them

I broke open my shed but the lawnmower was out of petrol

So I had to walk two miles each way to the Petrol Station to buy a canful

Then I had to mow the lawn to find the keys ..."



What's your most creative effort ... ?

is not an excuse but one morning i got woken up by my boss, he was wanting to know the lase expiry date on something another, he couldn't understand why i kept shouting !what time is it! at him

he was in a meeting elsewhere and thought i was at work, i was in bed asleep

that is not a nice way to wake up...

Not sure if its an excuse for being late for work, but one Friday I received a text from my boss asking me why wasn't I at work (he hadn't told me I was due to work that day) I replied saying I wasn't aware that I was due to work and I would see him tomorrow!

I had one bloke that never seemed to be contactable; however, he did deliver in spades so what more could one say. He had an MBA - now termed as "Management by Absence."

There was a guy who worked in my team (he was sacked due to high sickness levels and lateness) who used to call in and tell us he was running late due to toilet related problems. I often regretted answering the phone!
