Gimme a few good reason for coming in late to office ;-)?

Answer 1

bad case of the runs...tell them you ate a lot of apricots the evening before and you woke up with the worst diarrhea you've ever had....you can then tell them that someone told you to take pepto-bismol and that after 4 hours you started feeling better. Take a bottle of Gatorade to work and have people see you drinking it throughout the day and when you spot someone watching you tell them that your doctor told you to drink it to avoid getting dehydrated....after all you were sick...and the runs can dehydrate you. Works like a charm.

Answer 2

There are no good reasons for coming in late for work. If you accept a job, then your employer has every right to expect you to be on time. You should have already worked out child care arrangements, if applicable, transportation, etc. Traffic is no excuse. You should be familiar with traffic patterns in your area and simply make sure you leave your residence early enough to allow for any contingencies. Arriving for work on time, or even a little early, is so much nicer than rushing in late and making excuses. It makes me feel flustered and behind things all day long, whereas getting there on time allows me to get set up for a smooth day.

I am neither a "company" person nor a yes-person, but I've discovered over many years of working that coming in late is detrimental to my own peace of mind.

Answer 3

The dog ate my papers and someone stole the car. So I had to borrow someone's bycicle but I don't know how to ride a bycicle so I end up walking to work. Unfortunately, on my way, a big garbage truck hits me and I end up with a fractured limb, but I could not, could not, miss even just one day of work! I still went to work with my fractured limb. Ofcourse I was 3 hours late but hey at least I made it alive! LOL....

Answer 4

You had dinner at a local korean restaurant and didn't get any sleep at all last night do to the fact you spent all your twilight hours on the porcelain pot probably crapping out someone's dog. Or....your engine fell out of your car. Unlikely, but **** happens. Maybe, you had a blow out. It took 3 hours for AAA to find you. Then again, maybe you just don't want to see your bosses face because it makes you nauseous.

Answer 5

traffic, car wont start, had to talk to kids teacher, spouse needed something a work and you had to take it to them, kid got sick, you got pulled over, power went out last night and rest the alarm clock, car ran out of gas, dog got off the leash and you had to chase him for how ever long you feel like saying, locked your keys in the car when you for got your coffee in the house, use your imagination anything can be a excuse if you say it right...
