Lame Excuses For Missing Work

This morning we asked for the lamest excuses you’ve ever heard or used for missing work and school.  We received a lot of funny texts!!

My friend didn’t want to come to school (didn’t get away with it) but actually told their mom “I just don’t want to” -Ellie

Best excuse I heard from missing work… I ran out of laundry detergent and couldn’t do my laundry last night

my former supervisor called out because he said he broke his toe when he was pissed off that the patriots lost and he kicked his coffee table

I’ve heard…. My dog threw up. My curling iron broke.

I once skipped school and told the teacher I was outside the superintendents office picketing for higher teacher salaries

I’ve had a staff call out because their horoscope said they should stay in. Another because he had a flat tire and didn’t know how to change it.

I work with someone who called out using the excuse ” I’m to tired and need to catch up on my sleep, so I’m not coming in”.

I can’t come to work, my grandmas gold fish died

Guy called out because his father died problem was it called out for the same reason about six months earlier

LMAO we have a guy here nic named little Nard. We’ve heard them all. From my doors are frozen, to his grandmother passed away 4 times in one year
