Weirdest Real-Life “I Can’t Work” Excuses
CareerBulder.com and Harris Poll asked thousands of employees, hiring managers, and HR professionals to share dubious reasons they had given – or received – to justify a work absence. Here’s a paraphrased sampling:
1. I just put a casserole in the oven.
2. My plastic surgery needs tweaking.
3. I woke up in a good mood and don’t want to ruin it.
4. I got stuck in the blood-pressure machine at the grocery store.
5. I accidentally got on a plane.
I’m really curious: How does one ‘accidentally get on a plane?!’
