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?!’
