Yes told the boss once that there was a hurd of cows blocking the road. It had been on the news about 30 minutes previously but had been cleared by the time I got there but used it anyway as it was on all the local news bulletins.

The only one I would lie to would be myself. A few things about being self employed, I love my job and I love working. My clients know I come into work early so they do. Even when I am early for work I'm late. I never keep clients waiting.

How is this for a crazy excuse...."I had a litter of kittens stuck up in my car." "Every time I started to drive I would hear one hit my tire." Or how about "I hit a deer on every road I turned on" (That would be 4 roads).

These excuses are real.laugh

I had a man call me and told me he couldn't come into work because he was snowed in and the road were closed.

The month was August and we were in Michigan and it was about 84 degrees at the time.

Awhile ago, when I was much more brazen. I just didn't show up for my shift.
Next day when I came in and was asked about my no-show. I said it wasn't listed on my schedule.
( only got away with it because there had been recent schedule changes )

I called in work once and told them I was having a mental health day. When asked about this I said I needed to feel more at one with myself as I was feeling off the beam on that particular day.
