Twelve amusing excuses for being late to work


1. My heat was shut off so I had to stay home to keep my snake warm.
2. My husband thinks it's funny to hide my car keys before he goes to work.
3. I walked into a spider web on the way out the door and couldn't find the spider, so I had to go inside and shower again.
4. I got locked in my trunk by my son.
5. My left turn signal was out so I had to make all right turns to get to work.
6. A gurney fell out of an ambulance and delayed traffic.
7. I was attacked by a raccoon and had to stop by the hospital to make sure it wasn't rabid.
8. I feel like I'm in everyone's way if I show up on time.
9. My father didn't wake me up.
10. A groundhog bit my bike tire and made it flat.
11. My driveway washed away in the rain last night.
12. I had to go to bingo.

lol- I was 19 and used "I had to wait for my clothes to dry." My boss told me it was original. It was the truth.

Towards the end of the summer I drove to work with the windows down and my work shirt on the back of the passengers seat because it was still in the washer when I went to leave for work. I also found the microwave to be fairly effective at steaming the water out of it. Between the drive and microwave, it was almost dry by the time I put it on and clocked in.

#11 actually happened to my aunt and uncle, but after they left for work. They got home and it was still raining, but they had to walk through the mud to their house because a big piece of the driveway was gone!

1. While rowing across the river to work, I got lost in the fog.
2. Someone stole all my daffodils.
3. I had to go audition for American Idol.
4. My ex-husband stole my car so I couldn't drive to work.
5. My route to work was shut down by a Presidential motorcade.
6. I have transient amnesia and couldn't remember my job.
7. I was indicted for securities fraud this morning.
8. The line was too long at Starbucks.
9. I was trying to get my gun back from the police.
10. I didn't have money for gas because all of the pawn shops were closed.

I was late for muster once and my Chief told me that the only excuse he would accept in the future was if I was dead or suffered a broken bone. It just so happened that I dropped my bike that evening and broke my leg. When I showed up the next morning (late again from pain meds) the Chief turned the palest white. He later told me he was glad he gave me another choice over death.
