With the weather getting warmer,sometimes it’s just a ‘little difficult’ to motivate yourself to come into work on time so you drag it out as long as you can before go ‘punch the clock.’ If you’re going to come into work late, you may not want to use these excuses for your tardiness:
1. Employee’s cat had the hiccups.
2. Employee thought she had won the lottery (she didn’t).
3. Employee got distracted watching the “TODAY Show.”
4. Employee’s angry roommate cut the cord to his phone charger, so it didn’t charge and his alarm didn’t go off.
5. Employee believed his commute time should count toward his work hours.
6. Employee claimed a fox stole her car keys.
7. Employee’s leg was trapped between the subway car and the platform (turned out to be true).
8. Employee said he wasn’t late because he had no intention of getting to work before 9:00 a.m. (his start time was 8:00 a.m.)
9. Employee was late because of a job interview with another firm.
10. Employee had to take a personal call from the state governor (turned out to be true).
