The title says it all.

I have heard some of the best that there is working in the construction industry.

# 10. the train went by and shook the house so bad the power went off.

# 9. My brother brought a girl home from the bar and she stole my truck.

# 8 I asked my friend for an asprin and he gave me acid instead.

# 6 My room mate had a loud girlfriend and they did it all night.

# 5 I fell asleep on the rapid transit on the way to work and the transit police threw me off the transit.

#4 I went to the bar last night and could not find my car when i woke up at home.

# 3 I live out in the country and after the rainstorm the only road past my place was closed.

#2 we had a poker party at the house last night and i lost all my money including the buss fare to get to work.

#1 I thought Friday was Saturday, and i did not get out of bed untill 12:30

 

Those are pretty good. I really like #8

 

I called in one time and told my boss I had **** Glacoma (sp?)

She replied "Ohh, that sounds bad, you should stay home and get some rest!

ME: Yea I wish I could.

Her: What is it?

ME: I just don't see my **** coming in today.

After she finished lauging real hard

Her: Ohh... I'll see you in an hour

ME: No, I'm really not coming in, I'm taking a personal day.

Her: Well I have you number if we need anything.

Me: Alright leave a message, My cell phone dosen't get reception at the lake.

 

personal days are great.


I generally do not take holidays, ( one every several years ) but i take a friday personal days regular through the racing season..

 

Silver.....Did people really give you those reasons?

 

We were talking about work excuses at work the other day and these were
some of the ones i could rember. Some were told to me when i was a foreman, superintendent or a contracting trade.


My all time favorite is the " my brothers bar date stole my truck ". Several of those excuses all came from one guy. I got so mad it him one day i kicked his saw horses, power saw, wood etc down the elevator shaft in the high rise... To bad it was only 1 floor high at the time.
The stuned look on his face still makes me laugh to this day.

 

Wow....that's amazing. I can't believe people would actually say these things.....whether they are true or made up. But, too wacked to be made up.

 

Stick around deary and i will take your mind where it has never been before.

 

Cool. I could use some mind stimulation.

 

Ahhhh mind altering typing is in order.

 

Waiting.

 

Shhh -do not wake the sleeping

 

Geez.....thought some mind boggling stimulation would be typed.

 

Excuses I've tried over the years

Cant come in I just found out that I'm pregnant
Cant come in I just discovered that I'm gay (I'm STRAIGHT)
My razor broke and I cant shave (this was at a job that didnt allow facial hair)

None of these actually worked, I still ended up going

 

How about...

"I live across the street from this nutjob...he just rammed his garage with his truck, got stuck in the mud in his front yard, got it free and then rammed my car...I'm waiting for the tow truck to arrive."
