Question to the Supervisors:

[dla4122]

What was the dumbest, or funniest excuse you heard from one of your officers on why they couldn't report for duty?

Said to me: "I can't come in today, there is a skunk by my car and it won't move. So I am going to have to wait til it moves."

From a 25 y/o Officer: "I can't work over tonight, my parents have me on a curfew."

I'm not a supervisor but I have a pretty good one.
From the SO/EMT who works opposite nights from me- "I need you to work my shift for me tonight bacause I'm at the tattoo shop getting inked and I don't think I'll be out of here in time for work tonight."

Its not really funny but I had a guy have 5 grandmothers die before my boss fired him. I knew the guy and I told the boss that he is full of it because both of his only grandparents died 5 years prior.

I wrote him up all 5 times.


The funniest one was that "I can't come in because my wife has been jumping my bones all day and I'm too sore to walk."

My dog gave birth to her puppies on my uniform shirt.

I see. We'll deduct the cost of the uniform shirt and patches, fourty nine dollars, from your next pay check. Now, put on your other uniform shirt, and we'll expect you in shortly.

The WBS company I was working for at the time only issued you one shirt and one pair of pants. I made the guy bring in his shirt to prove his story was true, and it was.

I have no idea if the owner charged him for the cost of the shirt, but he probably did. The owner was a cheap SOB.

I had more than one refuse to come in because they claimed their posts were haunted.

[aka Bull]

I had an officer who'd been working the account for several months no call/no show for duty. The next day when he reported for duty I asked him why he didn't call in. His answer, "I forgot the phone number."

My response was, "well no problem, I forgot to hold your job for you."

The guard was guarded????

One of my officers didn't show up. So I called him and got answered by his voicemail. So I left a bit angry message.

Within a hour my chief called. The officer was arrested. He was cought with stolen goods in his home trying to sell them................to a policeofficer!!!!!!

[Arrowslinger]

He did not call off, but had a really dumb excuse for being late.

"mmm yeah, hi sarge......im over here at jewell (grocery store 5 minutes away) ...and uh im gonna be about a half hour late"

Me: "Yeah, car trouble??"

Him: "Na im at the deli and cant decide what i want for lunch tonight?"
