Excuses Excuses

We thought about making a list of the most outrageous excuses that drivers have used as to why they are quitting or why they need a night off. Some of them are really out there.

Some of the ones that stand out in my memory are:

• I can’t work tonight. I have to go to my doctor tomorrow to get my blood pressure checked and I can’t do anything that will make my blood pressure go up.
• I have to quit. My wife says she can’t sleep in the bed without me.
• (At midnight) I can’t work tonight. My boyfriend went downtown today to look for a job and he hasn’t come home yet and I’m too worried to come in.
• I can’t work tonight. My boyfriend fell down the stairs.
• I couldn’t come in last night because my husband fell asleep in the living room watching TV and didn’t wake me up. (Well, tell your husband it’s his fault YOU’RE FIRED!)
