HtownRocks111 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Move this thread of necc. But.. I need to watch the Monday Night Football game tonight. Start's at 8:30pm EST and I have to be at work at 10:00pm. If I went in at 11:45pm I should be ok. So what's a good excuse I can use? We only have 1 carseat which is in my wife's car, so I was thinking along the lines of I have to watch our 1 year old until my wife gets back, but where would she possibly be going at 10:00pm at night and won't be home until 11:30pm? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I use the following excuse on Monday, before the game: "The redskins will be playing tonight, and the game will probably run late so I'll be in late tomorrow morning" Maybe i just have not-uptight bosses though... I also use this excuse for Sunday night/thursday night games. edit: i also use it to get out of work for half a day on home games during the week, and for coming in super late the next day for prime time games.

2v2nv Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 You could always say you were "exhibiting" lots of bowel movements that were not of normal consistancy...... What are they going to say about that? Lol in all honesty, call in sick or just use the kid excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Good luck with that one. Id say use an hour or two of VACA if u have it. Dont risk losing the job over a game. And im pretty sure seeing how u live in Skins territory they are going to know it's b/c of MNF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'd suggest the cracked ribs and punctured lung excuse but some ******* used that already the past the week. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HigSkin Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Got excited when Moss caught his 2nd TD pass from Grossman, jumped up in the air and hit my head on the ceiling fan. Bandage up your forehead, smear some ketchup on it and call it an evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Your excuse should be: "I was watching the Redskins vs Cowboys game." And if they're not understanding of the situation... vaaCvR4m_FI :evilg: :evilg: :evilg: :evilg: :evilg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I am usually off on Mondays and come in at 7 until 4:30 on Tuesdays. So I am working three hours today and coming in at 9until 4:30 tomorrow. That way not only do I get to see the whole game and get my sleep, I get an extra hour of work this week.

wrecker Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 My boss already expects me to be in late after a Redskins night game. It is an unwritten rule. You could say you were delirious and were seeing stars all over the ground instead of in the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Tell them that you can't work a monster that would schedule you during the Redskins and Cowboys game. Light your bosses car on fire to show you mean business. Apply for a new job in the morning. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apply for bail in the morning. ~Bang Fixed. As for the 11:30 excuse, her car broke down/got rear ended/went off the road and you have to wait on a tow guy, would one of those work??

Commander -JB- Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Is there a policy that states you have to tell your boss why you were late and/or call off from work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngloSackSon Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 The game probably won't be over by 11:30, just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Dog Night Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 The best excuse I was ever given in my years as a manager was "My grandma got bit by a snake on Minnesota Avenue". I mean, it was so out there I just had to accept it. So try something along those lines, i.e. "you couldn't make this stuff up". Unless of course, your boss knows that you are a huge Redskins fan, in which case he/she will know why you were late, and if so, you might as well just be honest about it. Myself, I'd prefer to be given a lame excuse rather than a lie which insults my intelligence. Can't you ask for the time off in advance for "personal reasons"?

greenspandan Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 funny thing about excuses -- the more common the thing you're using as an excuse is, the less likely it is to be believed. "stomach issues" or "car won't start" are basically going to get an eyeroll from the boss, but if you say something crazy like "the cat caught on fire" then they are a lot more likely to buy it!

kiingspadee Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Good luck with that one. Id say use an hour or two of VACA if u have it. Dont risk losing the job over a game. And im pretty sure seeing how u live in Skins territory they are going to know it's b/c of MNF It's very simple I have a religious obligation. When I was hired at my job they saw I said I can't work Sundays. The guy asked me why and said is it religious reasons? I said not that it matters but yes in a sense. He sorta chuckled and said what do you mean. Told him I am a Redskin fan and won't ever miss a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Just be careful you dont make up some stupid story that's not true. My brother who is a great bull ****ter once used these 2 excuses during thanksgiving thursdays. called his work.and said that "My brother won box seats to the hockey game tonight and asked me to go." When he hung up I told him that that they were not playing at home and in fact playing in Atlanta. Duh. He also used the excuse (no word of a lie), "I can't make it into work, someone put a hit of acid in my beer". So don't ask him for advice. And myself, I am traumatized by those "excuses", so I am not help for you. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I went in at 11:45pm I should be ok. So what's a good excuse I can use? Tell them she didn't fell well and went to a 24 hr. clinic like Patient First (long wait) . Then an emergency diaper run to Wal Mart. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
