For the record, I never used any of these excuses.

Personnel firm CareerBuilder released this survey on the most unusual reasons employees used to explain an absence:

•I got sunburned at a nude beach and can't wear clothes.
•I woke up in Canada.
•I got caught selling an alligator.
•My buddies locked me in the trunk of an abandoned car after a weekend of drinking.
•My mom said I was not allowed to go to work today.
•A bee flew in my mouth.
•I'm just not into it today.
•I accidentally hit a nun with my motorcycle.
•A random person threw poison ivy in my face and now I have a rash.
•I'm convinced my spouse is having an affair and I'm staying home to catch them.
•I was injured chasing a seagull.
•I have a headache from eating hot peppers.
