Here’s a list of 10 excuses that many have dished out to their bosses, which in fact means something else. (Found on Reddit.com)
Women
“There’s a stranger in our neighborhood and I don’t feel comfortable leaving”: Means I’m in bed with my lover and have no intension of getting up
“It’s that time of the month” – Means I’m extremely broken hearted over nothing, moping around the house sobbing while feeling guilty for not going to work
I have to renew my driver’s license” – this is the truth but with no intention of going back to work.
“Traffic is bad” – Means I’m getting my make up done while driving, and it will be a while..
“My kid’s sick” – It means that after taking the little one to the doctor, I can afford to catch that sale before the good things are sold out. So I won’t be in the whole day.
Men
“I have been summoned for court”- Means I have a job interview.
“I am locked out of the house”- Means I am having domestic tiffs.
“I got into a fight” – Means I was caught in a compromising position
“I ran out of gas” – A friendly stop over that delayed me indefinitely
“I have no hot water”- Simple terms: NO rent paid and facing eviction – can’t get cleaned up to get to work.
