When I was in high school I told my teacher that an older lady had dropped her watch and I picked it up for her and then helped her find the main office. Not only was it bullshit, but I got on the teachers good side afterward.
Pretty much any story involving an old woman/ man and helping them will allow you to be excused.
I was in a knee brace/ on crutches for a couple months last year so all my teachers knew about it. After I was off them, if I ever came in late i could just say that I was at the nurse or something like that. I used that one at least 5 times.
Sorry for dub post but I also have severe asthma and when I'd come in late to 1st period I would tell the attendance lady that I woke up and was having trouble breathing. I actually was able to get rid of my 1st period class because I was late so much and they thought it was because of my asthma. But really I just didn't like getting out of bed in the morning.
Because of a sleep disorder I have, most of my life durring school, I would have a note from my PSG doctor. Saying I can't have class before 12, because it's very hard for me to wake up and be alert.
Seeing as my bother owns the business I work at, I really don't need an excuse for being late. Most of the time if I'm late opening, and only if there is a customer there. I'll just say I was on my way to work and realized I needed gas, or I'll just tell them "I am just running a little late this morning". I'm usually only late by about 2 mins every few days.
If I was working for any other employer though diarrhea is always a good go to.
For the most part I had super chill teachers in High school and when I walked in late I would just tell them exactly what i was doing and they just didn't bother marking me late. I would just say i was sleeping, or eating lunch or chilling with my dog. One time a teacher was a total bitch and told me that I need to figure out somewhere to put my dog while I was at school. So the next time for that class I just brought the dog to class and everyone was mega stoked.
We were just laughing about excuses we used to make back in college for getting out of class and shit. I would never ditch work for an illegitimate reason, and he knows that.
I usually say that I was on my way to school, but forgot my [insert object here] (like backpack, jacket, homework, etc.). That usually works for me, but you can't use that excuse often otherwise they'll get suspicious.
However, there is a woman that works with me (I cant stand her) who has the best worst excuses ever for coming in late or not coming in at all.
Once, her cat scratched her. Really. A cat scratch. She was out for days and even sent our OA a picture of it...a 2 inch scratch on her hand. That was it. She said it hurt so much she just couldnt type. Whatever. Get your ass to work!
She's got countless doctor appts every week because she's a total hypochondriac. This woman gets 4 weeks of vacation and year along with sick and personal time and uses it on stupid shit like this.
She'll also use her daughter as an excuse for not making it in either. "Ohh my daughter has a migraine so I won't be making it in. Ok! Bye!" - Her daughter is 28.
I would give anything, ANYTHING, to be able to fire this woman.

I absolutely HATE people like this. She needs to quit being so damn lazy or get the hell out. Somebody who NEEDS a job can have that position.

Exactly!
I think I'll start posting something about her every day because really, it's ALWAYS something!
Even her messages where she calls in are absolutely fake.
Also, she's notorious for helping out with work and purposely fucking it up so you won't ask her to do it again.

Bahaha These are the type of motherfuckers my company actually takes the fuck down - when they file workers comp/disability claims, that is...
Seriously. We had a lady complaining about her back and her wrists, saying she couldn't type or anything. First day we followed her on an investigation we saw her lifting weights and then driving a damned GO KART at the minigolf course.

Oh, that's golden!!! This one would be so damn easy to take down.
She allegedly goes to physical therapy for having tennis elbow. Mind you, she has never played tennis in her life. I honestly think she may be the least active person I've ever encountered. She wears one of those bands on the "bad" elbow. In any event, she'll waltz into the office (oh, btw, that's at least 20 mins late every day but I digress) carrying multiple bags....and all on the bad elbow and has pulled the "I cant work because it hurts so much" shtick too. She does nothing all day, every day.
I hate her. I honestly do. I fucking hate this woman.

She drives me up the wall.
Take that bitch dooooown. Get that phone out, push record and just be like "boss, check this shit out. This bitch is lazy as fuuuu and shes got to go. got to go. GOT TO GOOOOOOO."
Boom fired. No more tammy problem. Or is it Gretchen? Pamela?
You should definitely spend your lunch breaks fucking with her endlessly... sending her emails from 'corporate' and calling her desk about shit she's gotta do?

Haha dude I made a collage for my office admin with 3 weeks worth of pictures (1 every day) of her doing nothing. She laughed at me. Practically no one gets fired here. Plus, it's difficult to find people to replace her believe it or not. And, it's Claudia :)

Being able to fire the incurables is necessary to any productive organization.
If your late and didn't call someone, shit is rolling down hard. Allowing people to habitually blow off standards is cancerous. Shit needs to get handled.
I honestly don't give a fuck what your excuse is. Phone call if not on time. You got in an accident? Call someone. Headed to hospital for wife/kid? Call someone. We can cover for you if you let us know.
sophmore/junior year i would skip class at least once week to go skiing with my friends, my attendance took a beating but that shits a joke anyways.
last year was dope, though. i got a full PE credit to go skiing, and depending on the week I would average at least 2 to 3 days of midweek skiing every week.
I don't miss work illegitamitely too often, but one day last year I did. The night before I called in sick, but when I saw my boss the next day I told him the truth. "Sorry for partying"
- down to one car and had to give spouse/parent a ride to work
- cat/dog started throwing up before work and had to clean it up and stay with them a bit to make sure they were ok
- left my keys in my spouse/parents car and they had to come home from work to drop them off
- Not feeling well
- migraine
- had to pick up a prescription and the pharmacy doesn't open until 9am
- its my parents/spouses birthday and I promised I'd have breakfast with them
MinggSorry for dub post but I also have severe asthma and when I'd come in late to 1st period I would tell the attendance lady that I woke up and was having trouble breathing. I actually was able to get rid of my 1st period class because I was late so much and they thought it was because of my asthma. But really I just didn't like getting out of bed in the morning.
