I found these lateness excuses on a website and found it pretty strange along with getting a good chuckle out of it. Thought I would share it with you and get your reactions.
These were a few of the unusual excuses employees came up with for being late for work:
-My cat got stuck in the toilet.
-I was watching a TV program and wanted to see how it ended.
-I was wearing the wrong shoes and had to go back home to change .
-The sunrise was so beautiful I had to stop and take it in.
-I cut my hair myself and had to go to a salon to get it fixed.
-My mother-in-law wouldn't stop talking.
Did you ever used an excuse similar to any of the one's mentioned here? Have you ever created a strange yet funny reason for being late for work?

@dgobucks226 At my times, we had to bring with us justification written by our parents if we did not do our homework.

I always remembered the excuses kids would give for not having their homework. Kind of the same idea but maybe not as creative as these excuses.

When I had a cat she used to drink out of the toilet on occasion. Very strange but true. Maybe that excuse is not so bizarre

When I was still employed, I always go to work early, was never late. I'm very particular with time. Now that I have my own company, I seem to lose patience with employees who do. Because when one is passionate with his or her job, one will always come on time. However, there are emergency situations that I can consider.

Yes, I think a passion for your job can play into one's tardiness. Nice that you are your own boss now!
