'Good' excuses for being late to work....

believable stories;

-My garage door knob is broken and I can't get into the garage for my car... (it's stuck on Lock, so I need to take it apart, and the opener is in the car itself).
-My washing machine is spewing water all over my floor.
-The neighbor is having furniture delivered and there is a huge truck blocking my driveway.

I need one more penny of a certain year to finish my collection, so, gonna go metal detecting for the day. If you don't like it, you can take this job & stick it where the sun don't shine I like the honest approach

One of my carpenters showed up about 4 hours late one morning.
He told me he was driving to work on a country road and a chicken flew into his radiator and punctured it. I'm calling BS on this one, until he reached into his pocket and produced a bill from the local garage and ......... a chicken beak.

Actually used this one; Sorry, but you're wife insisted on making me breakfast. Ken had a really good sense of humor, but you should have seen the blank look on his face when he heard that one.

#1 - tell boss - I was having vision problems ( real reason * I just can't see myself going to work today cuz I wanna metal detect)

#2 my allergys were acting up - ( I am allergic to working on days that I want to go metal detecting )

#3 I needed a "mental health" day --( I was going crazy , and needed to metal detecting to destress)

#4 I had car trouble -- ( I was headed for another boring day at work when it suddenly went in a differant direction * what could I do I was helpless.--it was like it was pocessed or sumpin)

#5 -- I woke up and thought today was saturday or sunday (or whatever your "off"day is .)
