Reply #3: I've heard some whopper excuses for not going to work [View All]

[doc03]

that one is original. One of my coworkers buried every family member a half dozen times, the dog swallowed the car keys, the kids hid my keys, I was snowed in, the bridge washed out, my wife had to go to the hospital, his kids have been to the ER more than any 10 normal kids. He never used that one though. There was one time the manager called a guy in and asked him his excuse for only working four days a week and he told him that he couldn't get by on three days pay. I work in a Union shop you can get away with stuff like that.
