A flat tire is good for a few hours late. You have to wait for AAA to come and fix it.

It is now cold outside so you could have "accidently" locked your keys in the car while starting it....again you a)need to wait for mom, boyfriend, or someone to bring you the spare keys b)wait on the locksmith....again this gives you a few hours.

To leave early, if you have a direct line, say your child's daycare/school called. Your child is ill and needs to be picked up ASAP. Next day you can say you will be a few hours late child had a fever and they must wait 24 hours before they can return to school. Again you just left early and you get to sleep in.

If you stay out to late on a work night when you get home from the club at 3:30am or 4:30ish just call your job right then and there and say look I have been up all night with little Kenny he has a fever and has been puking all night pause...in the phone No Kenny don't puke on the floor make it to the toliet...I'm sorry excuse me but like I said I have been up all night with my sick Kenny so I will a)be in later after I get some sleep b) won't be in. Therefore, your drunk behind can go sleep in peace without having to worry about waking up in a few hours to call in.

During May when it tends to rain and thunderstorm alot. Your power went out and you overslept.

December-February with below normal temps your car won't start or the snow has you blocked in. You can always blame the city for not plowing your street or apartment complex.

Anytime excuse...you just can't make it through the rest of the day...those with alarm systems. ADP or Brinks called and my alarm is going off with a so and so code and I need to go check it out because the police will meet me there. BAM again gone for the day since you already drove 20 minutes to get home no use to going back your HOME!!!

CTFU @ yo azz. Girl you got this down to a science. LOL.

I am really not late too work very often. I hate being later. I did have that locked out the car chit happen to me last month --

I did used to leave early last semester to go get my nails idid

and would sign out DENTIST/DOCTOR/OSU -- CTFU.

1. I have kids, so I can always get away with saying that one of my kids is ill. I can use that excuse to either come in late, leave early, or not come to work at all. That's usually my favorite. It would probably only backfire on me if I had called in and given that excuse and then been hanging out all day and my kids' school calls the job looking for me to say that one of them is sick. Luckily that's never happened, but I've always worried that it would.

I was the same way, but luckily that never happened. Or I would call the school and let them know that I would be leaving work fir the rest of the day.

"I woke up and thought it was Saturday. It was 11:00 before I realized that it wasn't"

This will work at least once

Here you go:
You are having a piece of furniture delivered to your house or some sort of utility problem and you need to be there when they arrive. How's that?

Your apartment complex manager phoned and said they needed you at your place, ASAP.
