lame excuses not to get to work

[elder]

couldn't get to job because of snow oops. Next day all gone and back to knocking over sitka spruce. Anyone else had a lame excuse not to work this week

[Mountain man]

Not this week but I've had a bloke want a day off because it's his birthday.

I mean what for? To sit in your pajamas and play with your presents all day?

Worked with a guy once who didn't come in as he put his shoulder out brushing his teeth.

Hahaha done something similar...... Was brushing my teeth and sneezed and pulled a muscle in my neck but still went to work then got sent home

[Chopper Edoff]

Always the same excuse for being ten minutes late...

 

"had to wait for my massive erection to go down before I could pull my jeans on"

I can never understand people being so bothered about having their birthday off. The day after makes sense if they've been out celebrating that night. But having your birthday off and having to work next day, I really don't understand.

With an excuse like that he's more likely to be sitting around playing with himself all day.

A bloke I worked with years ago sneezed and slipped a disc in his neck. He was off work for 3 months with a support collar. He was called in to the office to see why he was off for so long and he said the doctor said he might never work again. The manager asked why and he said "the doctor says I'm bone idle. I knew I was idle but I didn't think it had gone that far"

A guy I knew used to site Bangladeshy bank holidays for Monday's off, also was off on three occasions as his granny had died, his work sent flowers all three times

The mum of one of mine called one monday morning to say he'd locked himself in his bedroom all weekend and wouldn't open it to anybody,and was not answering his phone either.

When he did put in an appearance in my yard later in the week i couldn't get much sense out of him,but later on that day i was informed by another employee that the reason he wouldnt come out of his room was because 'he owed his dealer a lot of money' .

Whether that comes under 'lame excuses' i have no idea,but he's a hard worker when he is with us, so i turned a blind eye to it on that occasion.
