SORRY, BOSS!

Many of us have, at one time or another, been tardy on occasion for work, but chances are that we didn’t resort to the kind of freakish action one Michigan man came up with to excuse it .

The 22-year-old Alpine Township dude(not pictured above) slept just a little too long one morning and knew that there was no way he was going to make it to the job on time. It was then that he came up with what most would consider a boneheaded solution.

According to authorities, this guy stabbed himself and then called the area cops, claiming that somebody knifed him in the thigh outside his residence, obviously believing that this would offer the ultimate excuse to his employer.

However, his ruse was eventually discovered and now he may be charged for giving a false report and will probably be looking for another job.

Whatever happened to the good ol’ “My grandmother died!” excuse?
