Most creative/dumb excuse to miss work
This morning a guy called me to tell me he wouldn't make it in to work today. I asked why and he told me that his ten year old son was attacked by his neighbors chinchilla. For those who don't know what a chinchilla is, it's a small rodent that's like a rabbit, only smaller. I asked him how it happened, he told me that his son was waiting for the bus and the chinchilla must have jumped the fence and just attacked his son.
At this point I was trying not to laugh. I said"I thought they were pretty docile."
He answered "Yea, but my neighbers are real jerks, they probably tease it a lot and made it mean"
This guy was doing his best to sound alarmed and insisted that he needed to get his son to the hospital. I told him that I was fine with him staying home, but that I wanted him to google chinchilla before he came back tomorrow.
So what creative or just plain dumb excuses have you heard, or given to get out of work?
