What's a good excuse for taking a really long lunch?

[redqueen]

I need extra time at lunch today, but I can't tell the boss what I need the time for. Anyone got any good ideas?

[Texasgal]

1. "female" trouble is always a good one.

That way you don't have to give out too many details! :evilgrin:

[gpandas]

5. is it

panda week?

[redqueen]

9. That sounds like a good idea...

thanks!

[eyesroll]

2. "Oh, I have a job interview. Ha ha ha."

They never ask after that, and they never believe you anyway. :D

[redqueen]

7. hahahahaha

He so would, though. I recently got my CNA certification, and he kinda freaked after I told him about it (had to miss a day for the state exam).

3. don't want to take a short one

[Beetwasher]

4. Just Tell Him You're Really Hungry

n/t

[redqueen]

10. hahahahaha

Yeah, that'd fly. :P

6. Dentist appointment, plumber coming to the house,

etc. You can think of something, I am sure!! :)

[redqueen]

12. Dentist wouldn't take that long, though.

At least not mine. No plumber excuse because he knows I live with my MIL, so naturally she'd take care of that.

See... this dishonesty thing is hard! :P

[Shell Beau]

17. Yeah, it can be!!

You can always say the gyno!! x(

[philosophie_en_rose]

8. Traffic?

Car won't start.
Someone double parked behind you and you're stuck.
Child forgot lunch.
House on fire.
Hurricane.
Work sucks.
Explosive unpleasantness.
Spilled something really messy on shirt. Call and ask if you can go home and change.

[flvegan]

11. Tell him/her you're going for a "nooner"

I kid, of course.

[redqueen]

14. ....

:evilgrin:

[Rhiannon12866]

13. Car trouble? Toothache? Eye exam? Home repair? (leaky sink or roof...)

Just don't get too specific.:shrug:

[redqueen]

16. If I use car trouble,

he'll just offer to come pick me up. Or ask why didn't I call so he could. He's very helpful that way. :)

[Rhiannon12866]

19. But you've got to get it taken care of, unless he's going to become your

permanent chauffeur. And it could turn out to be nothing, after all... But better safe than sorry.:-)

[Texasgal]

20. That's why I am saying

Female trouble.... Trust me... it works like a charm! :evilgrin:

[redqueen]

21. Yeah I'm goin with that one.

Like you said, that way they don't ask any questions! :7

[Texasgal]

23. YAYYYYY!!!!

I WIN!!! I WIN!!!! :P

heh heh.

[plcdude]

15. car trouble

seems to work sometimes

[hippywife]

18. I always tell the truth

because I know me...I'll end up ratting myself out later when I'm talking and not thinking. x(

[Elidor]

22. "I had too many shots of tequila and blacked out"

Works for me. :7

Actually, a co-worker and I once had a real crazy night and both showed up at work around noon the next day. I mumbled something about not feeling well. My co-worker, asked why he was late, said he had a really nasty hangover after bar-hopping with me until 3 am. Gee, thanks, dude. You just shot my illness excuse all to hell.

[anarch]

24. here's a good one:

"my friend's horse overate and he has been walking it since midnight...I need to go walk the horse so it doesn't lay down and die."

[SOteric]

25. Do you have kids? they're always good for an excuse.

Just mention that you had to drop by the school 'cause Junior/Juniorette got into some sort of a skirmish with another kid and they were both sent home.

Or the little tyke threw up in class.

Or something.

[momophile]

26. giving blood

You could always put a bandaid on just to "prove" it. Of course, it seems pretty low to do this.

[KitchenWitch]

27. Tell him you have to file some papers at the courthouse...

[dpbrown]

28. You met a man with a slow hand?

How about it's doubles day at Subway?

[jeanarrett]

29. You didn't say why you need extra time at lunch.

Maybe the truth will work!
