My reasoning is that my grandparents died before I was born, so I couldn't use the excuse then. It always works, and I've sworn to only use it 4 times (for the number of grandparents I had). But for other minor occasions (can't make it to meet somebody), I always feign car trouble.

Please do not lie on the dead. Someone who is living, just might die.
5. I had this supervisor once that I just plain ole hated. I used to give her excuses all the time. I remember one time I took a 3 hour lunch break and when I came back I told her that I was driving down the street and saw this little old lady who had fallen on the sidewalk. I said that the lady was really scared and so I called for help and stayed with her until the paramedics arrived. It worked.
That was too funny
I stick to the ones that everyone else has given, except the ones about kids because I don't have any. But, one time I didn't feel like coming back to work after lunch. As I was slowly walking back to my building, I saw that the bank a few blocks away had been robbed. So, I called my supervisor and told him that I had gone to the bank during my lunch hour and it had been held up while I was there. I told him that the police were going to be interviewing everyone involved and that I was really shaken up. I got the rest of that day and the next off to recover from my terrorizing event. When I came back, I told everyone that I'd rather not talk about what happened so I wouldn't have to answer any questions.
LMAO *tears are flowing again* Ya'll are too funny for me.
