Share some of your own :P

I thought of one today that would make me crack up if someone called me at work with this excuse:

"My shoelaces are broken, I can't leave the house."

Ah it was funnier in my head.

Now you go...

I can't come into work today because of eye trouble.... I can't see working today.

I'm not going to work today, I spent my paycheck on lottery tickets, and I'm out of Gas 'till payday.

I can't come in because I'm stalking my last boss. He always bugged me about not coming in.

A woman calls her boss one morning and tells him that
She is staying home because she is not feeling well.
"What's the matter?" he asks
"I have a case of anal glaucoma," she says in a weak voice.
"What is anal glaucoma?"
"I can't see my *** coming into work today

I don't need a reason, just getting up in the morning is reason enough.

TRUE story.

YEARS ago I worked an overnight security job. My work week started late Sun evening/Mon morning at midnight & it ended 8AM on Friday morning(take note - this is important later). Had a friend that worked similar hours as well elsewhere.

Once you work nights for awhile ..... your 8/9AM quiting time, can become a new and pefectly acceptable "5-o'clock in the afternoon" to YOU ..... esp when you're younger(& often not as wise). And that we did - while most others would be at one of the well noted local watering holes for their kick ass breakfast and some coffee..... we would meet up there for beers & burgers or something.

Well one Friday things were no different & it was a payday. I don't think I ceased to march till sometime around dinner. Anywhoo ... I find myself waking up at like 12:50AM. 1st thought ..... "oh-s... I'm late". Jump up - grab the phone & call up one of my partners to tell him I overslept & I'd be in ASAP.

Total silence for like a minute till .....

Him - "Ummmm fun day today I guess ?"

Me - "Eh".

Him - "Do you know what day it is ?".

Me - "Eh ?".

Him - "It's S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y".

Me - "Ehhhhhh - ummmmmmm - der ..... ok then I'll see you in a couple of days".

I didn't live that down for WEEKS.

Im still drunk.

I worked one summer in college as a second-shift (3 p.m.-12 a.m.) dispatcher for a private ambulance company where the drivers would get together at the ambulance garage after dropping off their rigs to drink all night. I shudder to think of how many times they were still fairly well loaded when they had to make their first runs in the morning or early afternoon. (Mainly private transport duty ... dialysis and the like, but still frightening when I think about it.)

I loved that shift, though only because a friend had the same schedule at a local electronics factory. We'd meet up in the mornings to go fishing or golfing all summer, then carpool into work in the afternoons. Worst part was we never saw any of our other friends ... who all had to be at work early and got out after we had started ... and nobody was ever awake when we got finished for the night except on Fridays.

My best excuse for not coming in to work: My car went in the ditch three times this morning, so I gave up and went back inside the house.
