Ridiculous Reasons to Miss Work

Were you abducted by aliens? Or were you preparing for the zombie apocalypse? These are a couple of the most ridiculous excuses to miss work. We have more!

I received a phone call from a listener today that doesn't want to go to work and is looking for an excuse to give his boss. We're looking for a good excuse, let's see what we can come up with.

I actually ran across a list of RIDICULOUS excuses to get out of work, these are real excuses people have tried to use, I'm not too sure which ones would actually work.

10. My sister got kidnapped and I have to go find her.
9. I gave up my plane seat to an elderly person and can't get back for a few days.
8. My dog didn't wake me up.
7. There's a snake on my porch so I can't leave the house.
6. I have to stay out sick because of a sympathetic pregnancy. That's when a guy experiences a few of his wife's pregnancy symptoms. Or anyone close to someone who's pregnant has a few mild symptoms.
5. My wife got a bad dye job and I have to stay home to provide moral support.
4. My dog hid my car keys.
3. I had to stay home to prepare for the zombie apocalypse.
2. Martians kidnapped my boyfriend and I have to rescue him.

The #1 excuse someone tried to use?

I'm having trouble with my prostate -- the person who used the excuse was a WOMAN!

What's the BEST excuse you've used?
