I had such a terrible nightmare that when the alarm clock went off I got scared and threw it against the wall. Turns out I broke my wife’s favorite figurine and spent an hour gluing pieces of it together. I came to work with my fingers partially glued together, which caused the boss to laugh and pat me on the shoulder.

At midnight, I was watching TV when I heard my wife scream. She came running and told me, scared, that something had attacked her. I thought it was a nightmare, but then our cat came out of the room with something in its mouth, looking like a bat. It was a flying squirrel. After this invasion of flying squirrels, we couldn’t sleep anymore. That is, I got sleepy and got to work late in the morning.

One day, a student missed two classes in a row. She justified her absence by saying that some wild boars had invaded her house. I started to laugh, because she lived in the city, not in boar territory. In the end, I forgave the shortcomings, but asked her to send me any evidence of the incident. On the same day, after returning home, I went to watch the news and there was the girl! Looking scared out the window of her house as the animal capture service tried to trap the wild boars.

Once I was late for work because I couldn’t find my car keys. My son confessed that he had used them to build a sandcastle the day before. I had no choice but to go get them from the nearest litter box.

I have an employee who is often late. One day arrived nearly an hour later. First, he sent me a text message saying he would be there in 17 minutes (I was surprised at the accuracy), after 17 minutes another message arrived that explained everything: “On the subway, a guy was sitting next to me who smelled really bad, I had to go outside to get some fresh air and not pass out.”

When I looked in the mirror in the morning and saw my hair, I decided to do a new hairstyle. The brush got tangled up in him, and I began to carefully try to untangle it to get it out. That took 30 minutes, and it only made my situation worse. In the end, I had to cut off a good chunk of my hair. My boss appreciated the hairstyle, understood the delay and smiled.

Explanatory note: “I show up for work later every day, because I walk my dog ​​in the morning and together we watch the sun rise, and the sun rises later each day. This should last until December 22nd, when I will start arriving earlier and earlier to work and for the same reason”.

When I was in college, I lived in a rented apartment. In the morning I only had 3 or 4 hours of class, and in the afternoon I could work. Everything was going very well, until the owner of the apartment decided to change the locks without warning. When I got home after class, the doors were locked and my keys wouldn’t fit. My boss soon called this the best excuse he had ever heard.
