maybe you were at a party the night before,and didnt hear the alarm go off,so you dont admit it to the boss! maybe you missed an important business meeting,and were 'economical'with the truth?

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.

a man came into work just a few minutes late and was looking around for the boss when a co-worker informed him the boss would not be in, seizing the chance to get some free time he left relling his co-worker the boss will never know.. after 1/2 hour the man came running into the office out of breath and his co-worker asked what was up, i thought you were going to take the day off, well i was until i pulled up and seen the bosses car in my drive, just about got caught playing hookey

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.

well lets see i was 21 an i was always late for work the boss asks why i said its not my fault sir, its your daughter she always c*m late. That day was the fastest i ever ran in my life.
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).
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 )
In the good old bad old days when I used to work I can never remember ever being late to start work........ sometimes had to be told to go home mind you!
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.
