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.

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? I kid you not. The seated Area Manager said, 'Me!' and the conversation ended there and he was walked off the premises.
