Crazy, wacky and just plain dumb late/no-show excuces.

I told him no problem, I could solve that issue for him easily enough. Fired him. Problem solved.

You didnt fire him, he chose to stay at home with his family.

Lol.. well I guess the funniest part of that whole story is the paycheck he got on Friday was his first check - and I had actually loaned him gas money that week before he got paid so he could get back and forth to work. He'd called in sick twice that week anyway. At that point we were pretty much done.

I don't have employees but every single semester, a student's grandmother dies.

I worked with a kid whose grandmother died at least 37 times.

A guy I used to work with told the boss he was late because he was at a job interview. Yeah, he was fired on the spot.

He got fired for being honest and ambitious, wow!

The jig is up!

Oh wait. I don't work on Fridays. And I don't work at Perkins.

Whew! Close one.

My favorite one I heard from a stand up comic, I can't remember which one though. It went something like this:

I've got the best excuse to pull a sickie ever, but you can only use it once.... What you do is call your boss and say:

(in a whispered raspy voice) "Boss......I'm afraid I can't come to work today"
Boss: "Why not?"
You: "Someone's died"
Boss: "Who died?"
You: ".....emmm...I don't know, but they're in my kitchen!"

:shock:
