9. Stay Home for a Delivery
To me, this sounds like a pretty lame excuse, but because of it being so lame, I would maybe believe it. I mean, waiting for a special package that no one else can help you with? Who would come up with this stuff? Apparently someone. You can say that you ordered some expensive piece of furniture and that is being delivered on Friday between 11 and 14h. Hey, when you put it like this, it sounds real. Yes, you’ve noticed well – it won’t provide you with the whole day off, but half a day is more than enough sometimes, isn’t it?
