根据CareerBuilder.com在今年2月21日到3月6日针对2500名工作人士的调查显示,十分之一的人(也就是13%)有过一个星期内迟到至少一次的经验,24%则在一个月内至少迟到过一次,五分之一的人承认曾经撒谎编造迟到理由。 用到的借口有:
1)I dreamed that I was fired, so I didn’t bother to get out of bed.
2)I had to take my cat to the dentist.
3)I went all the way to the office and realized I was still in my pajamas and had to go home to change.
4)I saw that you weren't in the office, so I went out looking for you.
5)I couldn't find the right tie, so I had to wait for the stores to open so I could buy one.
6)My son tried to flush our ferret down the toilet and I needed to tend to the ferret.
7)I ran over a goat.
8)I stopped for a bagel sandwich, the store was robbed and the police required everyone to stay for questioning.
9)A bee flew in my car and attacked me and I had to pull over.
10)I wet my pants and went home to change.
