I need to watch the Monday Night Football game tonight. Start's at 8:30pm EST and I have to be at work at 10:00pm. If I went in at 11:45pm I should be ok. So what's a good excuse I can use? We only have 1 carseat which is in my wife's car, so I was thinking along the lines of I have to watch our 1 year old until my wife gets back, but where would she possibly be going at 10:00pm at night and won't be home until 11:30pm? Thanks guys
knock on wood, but something believable that i have used in the past, sort of, just say that ur child was running a high fever late in the evening and you had to take him to the ER to make sure everything was OK .
I don't believe in excuses. Just be honest, tell them you're a small Asian man and you have needs outside the office. If they aren't partial to minorities, then just DVR the game. Whatever it is, don't bring the kids into it. They've done nothing to deserve it.
Come on man, just say you got diarreah and going to drink imodium to see if that does the trick and you'll be a little late because of it.
Fixed your post, so people can understand this situation a bit better. Have a friend record it for you and don't miss work. They'll find out you're lying, either way. Lying is not a good way to go through life, sir. First you're going to cheat on your work, then you're going to be cheating on your family, so on, so forth, then WE'RE NEXT. No, thank you.
dont offer an excuse, if you have vacation or sick leave just write it up as that send an email to your supervisor and say "I will be coming into work late today. I should be in before midnight."
Tell them you were driving in to work thought you had a little gas, and sharted, so you had to turn around and quickly go home, and when you got there, you noticed that there was blood in your stool, so you had to get to the emergency room, where they had to give you a quick rectal exam, where it was determined that an alien had probed your rectum again and again, the night before, they took pictures, of a 4 fingered hand orange hand print on both of your butt cheeks, and upon further inspection at your house, they found an empty bag of cheetos next to your bed and 4 finger hand prints on the way out of your window. Then say, that it seems there was no permanent damage, and that the only thing you were pissed off about was it was your last bag of cheetos. That should work. DD
I guess if you're going to lie, DD's advice is sound. Akeem's Razor states that the more outlandish and unlikely the lie is, the more likely it is to be true.
