8 Of The Craziest Excuses People Have Used For Being Late To Work
We've all been late for work, it happens. But usually our excuse is "Sorry, I was stuck in traffic", not "I got Vaseline in my eyes".
I'm not going to lie, I've been late for work for a bunch of crazy reasons. From being up all night at the Emergency Room with a kidney stone to my dog have a strange incident with his ummm "doggy parts", I have definitely had my fair share of weird excuses for being late to work.
But not even my story about needing stitches, because I ran into a dog crate, can compare to this list of bizarre excuses from CareerBuilder.
