competition: Stupid excuses for not coming in to work!

This really happened to me and i really used this excuse.

So.. i slept in, my clock didnt go off.
So like 3 hours late i call my job and told them i was sick and that my cell phone fell in the toilet so i couldnt call and when they asked how i was calling them now, I told them i was using my neighbors phone.

They were going to fire me because it was such a bad lie but they couldnt, they needed me =)
