Arriving on time to work isn't always easy. A recent study reveals that 1 in 4 employees admit to being late at least once a month, with 13% experiencing it weekly. Ditching common culprits like traffic or transit delays, some get wildly inventive. Here are the most outlandish excuses uncovered:
- I was thinking of quitting my job today but decided not to, so I came late.
- My hair caught fire from my hair dryer.
- I was held by security.
- I had to chase my cows back into the field.
- A black bear entered my carport and I decided to take a nap on the hood of my car.
- My lizard had to have emergency surgery in the morning and died during surgery. I was grieving.
- There was fresh snow on the hill. I had to go skiing.
- There was a store grand opening and I wanted to see the opening day sales.
- I had to watch “My Name is Earl.”
- All my clothes were stolen.
- I was confused by the time change and wasn't sure if it was "spring ahead" or "fall back".
- A Vaseline truck overturned on the highway and the cars skidded left and right.
