Well, this is awkward, but I got pulled on stage at a street magic show, so I won't make it to the meeting. Thanks for understanding.

Example work excuses

Believable excuses

  • Sorry to message so late, but my train got cancelled, so I need to take a half day. I'll share an update by end of day.
  • Bit of a situation here: there's a power cut in my whole area, so I'll have to skip the team lunch. Thanks for understanding.
  • Hi! Bad news: my power bank died and so did my phone, so the report is going to be a little late. I'll be reachable on Slack.

Questionable excuses

  • Well, this is awkward, but I got my finger stuck in a bottle, so I'm going to miss the standup. Happy to jump on a call later.
  • Sooo, I used hair removal cream instead of shampoo, so the report is going to be a little late. Sorry for the short notice.
  • Not ideal, but I locked myself out wearing only a towel, so my camera will be off today. I'll make up the hours this week.

Absurd excuses

  • Don't ask me how, but my neighbour's parrot hid my phone inside the freezer, so the report is going to be a little late. I'll catch up on everything after.
  • For legal reasons I can't say much, but a mime hypnotised me into doing my taxes, so the report is going to be a little late. Please send me the notes.
  • This is 100% true: an escaped ostrich changed all my alarms to 4 p.m., so I'll be logging in late today. I'll catch up on everything after.
