Humor: The Top 13 Excuses for Being Late to Work

Posted by Erik Even on Aug 13, 2009 in Employment |

Some are from the Internet, and some are from my mind alone: the Top 13 Excuses for Being Late to Work:

13. My Mom didn’t wake me up on time. She doesn’t like to come into the basement.

12. Starbucks was out of caramel macchiato syrup. So I went home.

11. When I woke up the morning, I was still tied to the bed and the whore was gone.

10. My left turn signal was out, so I had to make all right turns to get to work.

9. I’m [insert religion here], and we don’t recognize Daylight Savings Time. We call it “Daylight Satan’s Time.”

8. I had a headache and did not want to give it to anyone else.

7. There was a parade, and Ferris Bueller was singing “Twist & Shout.”

6. This morning my wife was getting pregnant, and I wanted to be there.

5. I’m late because nothing’s more important to me than our beloved Alaska. In fact, I quit!

4. Sorry, I have the swine flu, and I had to stop and buy these surgical masks for everyone else in the office to wear.

3. I thought we had Columbus Day off.

2. Don’t oppress me with your White male notions of linear time!

1. I was late today because I was reading “late for work” excuses on my computer.
