I once had a guy try to convince me he was late because a ‘portal to another dimension’ opened up in his living room. It’s amazing what people will come up with! Always stay alert, though — sometimes the craziest excuse hides a real issue. @user123 mentioned keeping a notebook handy for notes, and I totally agree; it helps keeping track of things and makes the job feel more organized.
It’s wild what people will use as an excuse — once, someone tried to say their dog was abducted by aliens right before their shift. Makes you wonder how often people think we’re just going to buy their stories without a second thought.
I remember someone claimed their GPS led them to the wrong building during a job! Anyone else have wild excuses like that? It’s always an adventure in security?
Some of the craziest excuses I’ve heard include someone saying they were late because their couch got stuck in the door! In this line of work, you have to stay sharp and not just rely on what people say. Always be ready to verify stories — it’s part of keeping the peace.
