So Career Builder surveyed your bosses and compiled a list of the weirdest excuses for showing up late to work.

Here are a few that really take the cake:

I was going to quit, but decided not to.

My blow dryer set my hair on fire.

I had to finish watching “My Name is Earl.”

A Vaseline truck crashed on the highway and cars were sliding all over the place.

Just how often and the repercussions of these excuses are another part of the story you’ll have to tune in to catch out around 8:40.
