The inclusion of deviled eggs on your list implies you have a death wish or have severe issues with self-loathing. I recommend you seek professional help.
Only funny if you have not suffered through it. The only problem is it is almost a challenge for the next guy to try and out do it.

Where I used to work, I managed a team of about 15-20 people, and that's when I first realized how lame all those excuses sound.
For example, if you get food poisoning regularly, every other week, you need to learn to cook, or stop going to Denny's.
A flat tire can be changed in about 15 min. Or, if a tow is involved, 2-3 hours. Not an all day project. Additionally, there is something called the bus that can provide transportation. OR FEET!
If your cable guy needs to install something on a monthly basis, you need to look into Direct TV.
They're insulting. I'd almost prefer it if they said, "I don't feel like working today." At least it is honest.

I didn't have a typical office job and loved it, but made 1/3 of what I do with 3x the effort than at my office job.
When people gather around your computer to look at what you are looking at causing a scene. THus getting you in trouble for internet usage. I just kick people out of my cube now-a-days. Tell them to go watch on there computer.
One of my co-workers used to work on a different account. She said she was once on a conference call with the client and could hear that the client was obviously going to the bathroom. They heard the flush and all! how gross!
