"He fell out of a 9th floor window due to mental illness after a fight with his wife. He was drunk, survived, suffered minor fractures, but escaped," the reader says.
— The employee was drunk. She sent a vague message: "I got lost." "I didn't go to work anymore," the Tyumen resident said.
"Before I was fired, the job was handed over to a new employee. He listened to me attentively for an hour, and then went out for a smoke and never came back," a reader shared her story.
— I wrote a note in which I explained that I didn’t have the moral strength to go to work after the fight with my wife.
"The girl wrote that she would not go to work because the hot water was turned off at home." Considering that there is no water in Tyumen every summer, this version sounds very convincing.
— The comrade wrote an explanation. In it, he explained that he was two hours late because he was waiting for the sun to rise, because his car's headlights weren't on. It was February.
“The cat gave birth to kittens, and she couldn’t be left alone, otherwise she would die,” the reader said.
