25 – My Dog got stuck in the toilet
If you have a pet dog or a cat or in fact no pet at all, you can ace with this excuse. Of course no one would want you to leave your pet stuck in the toilet where it might die. Of course you needed to stay back and take it out of the toilet. But beware if your boss knows that you do not have a pet then you are in big trouble.
24 – I was working on the next month’s budget, assignment
Well who would blame you for getting late if you were working in the home too. In fact working before the normal office hour, good job mate.
