The excuses people use when they are late to work are often discussed and joked about. This article looks at some of the most inventive and insane excuses ever used by employees upon being late for work.
The most traditional excuse of all is usually 'car trouble.' People often use this because when it is genuine then it really would make you late. There are a wide variety of reasons why your car may have problems so often people tend to become inventive with this excuse.
One employee who took the survey admitted that she had said to her employer that she had won the lottery when she actually hadn't. This is a bit of risky excuse to make- obviously the truth will out.
Another employee concluded that she had got distracted watching the morning TV. Clearly this is not an excuse that many employers would be happy with!
Mobile phone alarm clocks are often the subject of blame; a faulty charger, clocks changing, generally not working.
One employee told his employer that he genuinely believed that his commute time should count towards his working hours.
On a more light-hearted note one employee claimed that her car keys had been stolen by a fox.
One employee decided that he wasn't late at all as he had no intention of arriving at work before 9am-his start time was in fact 8am.
Another employee concluded that he was late for work as he was at an interview for another job.
The above excuses range from being wildly ridiculous to being believable. In order to avoid being late for work it is perhaps advisable to make changes such as preparing lunches the evening before, arranging your outfit the night before and relying on not just one alarm clock to wake you up.
