Someone asked Reddit for the craziest excuses they've seen for missing work. Here are the highlights.
1. A guy didn't show up on Valentine's Day because he thought it was a federal holiday.
2. "I flushed my car keys down the toilet."
3. "Chipmunks filled my truck's engine with walnuts."
4. A woman with long nails shoved her finger up her nose while exfoliating and sliced it open.
5. Someone's coworker called out because she ran out of toilet paper.
6. A woman called off work because there was a big bug outside her door. But it turned out it was just a piece of string.
7. "I ate a whole log of cookie dough."
8. A woman found a huge human DOOKIE on her driver's side seat.
9. "I got bit on the finger by a squirrel while tossing a coffee cup into a parking garage trashcan."
10. "I can't work because Zayn left One Direction."
