Guys! Here are the 10 most ridiculous excuses for missing work (The Independent)

Okay guys! It's Friday, yeah, thank God! But, Monday is just around sniffing around somewhere. So on Monday, don't pull off any of these in order to play hooky and not go to work because “I’m a little under the weather” just won’t cut it. A new survey from the US website CareerBuilder of 2,000 HR professionals unearthed the 10 most ludicrous reasons for missing a day at work. My comments are in brackets.

1. I just put a casserole in the oven (then?)

2. My plastic surgery needs “tweaking” (during my hours?)

3. My feet ‘fell asleep’ and I fell and broke my ankle (interesting! your eyes are in your feet!)

4. I’m still at a casino as had money left over from weekend (so?)

5. I woke up in a good mood and didn’t want to ruin it (what? you mean here is toxic?)

6. I had a “lucky night” and don’t know where I am (good cos you're about to get unlucky)

7. I got my arm stuck in a blood pressure machine (I'm sure that's moveable right?)

8. I was undertaking ‘holistic healing’ for a gallstone (how unholy it'll be trust me)

9. My uniform was set on fire by drying it in the microwave (you could have been here in mufti)

10. I accidentally got on a plane (now, youu ARE sick!)
