Working from home excuses

Internet problems wouldn’t work would it? Our place would just tell you to connect to your phone and use 4G.

Depends what kind of phone contract you've got. If you don't get much data they can't expect you to use it on work. I'd only use the 'no internet' excuse very sparingly anyway. If you use it too often they'll just say you can't work at home since your connection is bad and you have to work from the office.

That's also a concern of mine. I don't want to give excuses that have ready made solutions.

You've got a greenhouse and a three men ran in and bummed you. 

 

You went to a rough pub for dinner and someone made you snort a bag of coke off the bog cistern/threw a fruit machine at you/had a straightener in the car park/made a teenage mum suck you off in the bogs for a WKD Blue.

 

You've moved to Huyton and someone murdered you. 

 

You've got Virgin Media Broadband

Been working from home, which is nice, but unfortunately it's made my traditional excuses for missing work obsolete. Typically I would rotate between having a headache(1 day), food poisoning(2-3 days) and having to return to Scotland on a personal matter(4-5 days). They've served me very well over the years, but are not good excuses when working from home.

 

I need a new repertoire and would kindly ask for some good excuses for calling in sick when working from home. Ideally, they would be reusable, prompt no follow up questions and plausible.

 

A headache??

Went for a bite to eat last night with maybe a couple of beers. Now I wake up to find my car isn't starting and I'll have to wait for the Home Start to get here before possibly towing it to the garage to get it checked out fully. 

 

 

 

That's plausible right?
