Revan hardly a success here. Other 2 definitely weren't.

The second worst excuse I have heard as a notification of absence from work (and of more relevance to this particular thread is:
I cannot come in today due to an excruciating pain in my elbow.
For the record the worst or funniest excuse I?ve ever heard was someone explaining away their absence from work due to A BROKEN FLASK.
Whilst working in a store, most laughable excuse I ever heard was from a lad who called in to say he couldn't get in to work as he had no shoes to wear.
When he got to work two days later he was met by the Manager who swiftly escorted him up to his office. Sat there was the Area Manager who asked him why he couldn't get into work. The lad repeated he had no shoes to wear. When asked how he got to the shoe shop to buy a new pair, the lad had no reply or excuse plus, he had been paid only two days prior.
The Area Manager sacked him on the spot. The lad demanded to know who he could appeal to and the A/M said, 'Your Area Manager'. The lad clearly not switched on asked who his Area Manager was? XD I kid you not. The seated Area Manager said, 'Me!' and the conversation ended there and he was walked off the premises.
I had a member of staff tell me she was late for work as the dustbin men had blocked her drive and gone off for breakfast. Another time she said she had to keep stopping to remove the snow and ice off her wing mirrors - it was a marina and didn’t have any!
I once had a guy tell me that his Grandma lived in Kansas and they'd had a tornado so he was out 'looking for Grandma'. He was a serial bul****ter about being late/missing work so I didn't believe him and my suspicions were confirmed when he was back at work the next day in California telling me Grandpa was fine. XD (I think he was a heavy user of 'substances')
Aren't we being a bit rash (ford) about these modern manureites who only play when there's a z in the month and they aren't on their period?
I fear we and manure share a certain problem in the moral fibre and work rate of our cosseted millionaires.
