It has been said that everyone has excuses or some kind. But what could possibly be some of the most lame excuses that an employer or boss has ever heard?  Today on the Top 5 at 7:45, I'll highlight some of the top most lame excuses that bosses have said they've heard from their employees according to Careerbuilder.com.

  1. They got stuck in the blood pressure machine at the grocery store and couldn't get out.
  2. Had plastic surgery for enhancement purposes and needed some tweaking to get it just right.
  3. Had a gall stone that they wanted to heal holistically.
  4. Caught their uniform on fire by putting it in the microwave to dry.
  5. Sitting in the bathroom and their feet and legs fell asleep. When they stood up, they fell and broke their ankle.

The Top 5 at 7:45 airs weekdays with me, Gary Freeman and sponsored by First Education Federal Credit Union.
