Years ago i was working with a bloke who had buried his whole family twice over, his mother had the sad misfortune of being buried and less than a year later was resurrected and later cremated...

Whilst I was away on a family holiday he "attempted" to bury my Grandad, this failed as the old fella was known to the management as he was an habitual complainer, they had his phone number and someone rang his flat, he answered and apparently told them to "Feck Off and stop bothering him" ( he complained about being contacted)

The bloke left the job shortly after my return from holiday, shame really as he was very funny!

How often do you do this?

I quite often hear the "sorry i can't make it there has been a family emergency", has there or is it the ultimate excuse. (Had that one this morning)

Ha Ha, You might be right about the friends Viper man!

But this was work related and they didn't even know me.

If we say we will do something we usually do, the odd occasion I forget an event I say sorry I forgot.

Working for Royal Mail some years ago I was training a new recruit on delivery procedures. All was well the first couple of days but on the third day he phoned in sick. What was the problem, he was asked. I've split my foreskin came the reply.

You really can't make it up!

My friend was supposed to go on a date last night and the guy cancelled on her because his hamster was sick and it was the only appointment he could get. I don't think she's too impressed.

Although, if that's not true then I admire the creativity of the lie.

Two of the best excuses given to me by people who were late/didn't arrive

1. Sorry, my tie was run over by a bus
2. I want to come in, but I have no clothes
