Here are 12 of the most outrageous excuses employees have heard for being late to work:
1. My heat was shut off so I had to stay home to keep my snake warm.
2. My husband thinks it’s funny to hide my car keys before he goes to work.
3. I walked into a spider web on the way out the door and couldn’t find the spider, so I had to go inside and shower again.
4. I got locked in my trunk by my son.
5. My left turn signal was out so I had to make all right turns to get to work.
6. A gurney fell out of an ambulance and delayed traffic.
7. I was attacked by a raccoon and had to stop by the hospital to make sure it wasn’t rabid.
8. I feel like I’m in everyone’s way if I show up on time.
9. My father didn’t wake me up.
10. A groundhog bit my bike tire and made it flat.
11. My driveway washed away in the rain last night.
12. I had to go to bingo.
These are fun and definitely deserve a chuckle.

The snow plough piled all the snow from our road up against my car – to be fair, the car was already buried under a drift, so the driver didn’t ealis it was there, but it took me four hours to dig it out! TRUE!

Here are two that were given at my last job:
I forgot the clocks went forward (it didn’t stop her getting to the pub on time the day before as a member of the management staff saw her)
They were digging up the road in front of my drive and I couldn’t get out to call the office (the fact that she always carried a mobile and if she was on her drive could have gone into her house was obviously irrelevant)

I must admit I rang in at 6am and left a message for my boss saying I’d woken up with migraine , taken one of my bombs and gone back to bed, but I’d be in later. I was usually at my desk by 10.
