The Top 20 Excuses You Should Never Use to Get Out of Work

lori beeler
There are days that none of us want to get up and go to work. However, there are some things you should never use as excuses to not go to work. Here are the top twenty excuses to not use.

1.) "I am so hung over I can't even find my pants."

2.) "Oh, today is not Saturday?"

3.) "I was there yesterday, what more do you want?"

4.) "Oh today is a holiday didn't you know? Yah, it is the day peanut butter was first invented."

5.) "I got all of my work done yesterday so I figured I did not have to come in today."

6.) "Ah man, you have got to be kidding. Can't you all do anything without me there?"

7.) "Why do I have to give you an excuse, Boss, you never give us one when you are out."

8.) "Hey, wait just a minute, I told you last week that I may have a headache today. Didn't you get the hint?"

9.) "My wife is in labor." (You are not even married or have a girlfriend.)

10.) "I have to go to my aunt's funeral again"

11.) "My mother-in-law is coming to town. I will be there in five minutes."

12.) "My spouse just came in from a week long trip." Use your imagination on this one.

13.) "I am just too sick to come in today. I think I had better go to the spa and see if they can help me get better."

14.) "Well, it is already 11:00. It will take me an hour to get ready, then I need to stop at the store and the bank, then it will take me 45 minutes to an hour to get there. Nah, it would not even be worth the trip. See you tomorrow."

15.) "My pet rock died last night. I am just way to distraught. I doubt I will be there at all this week."

16.) "Well, you see, I forgot to do my laundry this weekend and I do not have a thing to wear. As soon as I get it done one day this week I will be right on in."

17). "I just cannot get my hair to do a thing. There is no way I am coming in with it looking like this."

18.) "I started yesterday. You mean I have to work more than one day a week?"

19.) "Well you see it is like this...ah heck who am I kidding. I don't have an excuse I just don't want to come in today."

20.) "Ouch, ouch, ouch, P.M.S." However, make 100% certain you did not use that just about a week and a half ago. Even a male boss will catch on to that one.
