Crazy Excuses for Missing Work

in ,

I came across some crazy excuses for missing work the other day.

I thought I’d share a few from this article and then hear some from you…

  • Employee didn’t want to lose the parking space in front of his house.
  • Employee hit a turkey while riding a bike.
  • Employee said he had a heart attack early that morning, but that he was “all better now.”
  • Employee donated too much blood.
  • Employee’s dog was stressed out after a family reunion.
  • Employee was kicked by a deer.

Ok, your turn. What’s the craziest excuse you’ve used… I mean heard for missing work?

This should be fun. :)

  1. Guy called me and said he wouldn’t be in because his wife had lost the handcuff key!

  2. I have used (honestly) the having a baby and car accident excuses. Although, not at the same time.

    1. haha… Thanks for the honesty. The car accident thing is definitely believable in bigger cities for sure! :)

  3. A friend of mine had a worker beg off because he was “slow cooking a chicken”.
    I was afraid to ask for details…
