Why I was late"On the way to the station, I got hit by a bat, it almost took my head clean off. Then the machine would not accept my ticket and the guy at the gate didn't think I looked like the photo on my travel card. So I had to go home and get my passport.
Then the train was 45 minutes late to the station because of the dangerous badger threat at Carpenters Park.
When I was on the train it took and hour and a half to get past the biscuit factory because the driver was really fat.
Then there was a delay stopping at the station because the train in front had heard we were coming and decided to play a practical joke with a rubber shoe on the track.
That is why I couldn't get here on time today."
What's your best excuse?

Shit yourselfI was just showing the guy who sits next to me some of the nasty posts (ie Franks knitting needle experience - nice).
He tells me he used to work with a compulsive liar... apparently the guy's excuse one day was that he'd got to work early (before anyone else), shit himself, cleaned up and then returned home to finish the clean up off... and that was why he was ringing them - cos he'd just finished cleaning the shit out from between his toes....
My question is if you're gonna lie - why use that scatological excuse???
Maybe I answered my own question.
My own experience: in my last job a guy phoned in late (late 75% of the time but was a local govmnt so no-one gets sacked EVER)
3 hours after he was due to start... and his excuse?
He forgot to come to work... it was a Tuesday.
