Would I lie to you?

Today, I had to explain to my boss that I was late to work because somehow my hand slipped when I was brushing my teeth, and I hit myself in the eye with the brush. I had to remove my contacts, wash my eye, and find my glasses. He didn't believe me, but at least my eye is minty fresh. FML

I would think your eye would be a little red and noticeably irritated after that- signs that should prove your story true to your boss!

If that's your first time being late, or you almost never show up late, then I don't understand why your boss doesn't believe you... but if you show up late a lot, I can see where is coming from.

I'm starting to think that brushing your teeth is way more dangerous then it is made out to be.

I'm not surprised he didn't believe you it seems a bit far fetched..

Reminds me of that one spongebob episode where the toothpaste cap hit his eyeball.

Excuses are excuses in an employers POV... They've heard it all... Sad but true

At least you didn't lie and say Jack M. Crazyfish did it.

I had an incident that also sounded like a hard to believe story that made me late too once. My boss told me to plan better because it shouldn't have made a big time difference. I can understand your frustration.
