Ever thought of a solid reason to skip work? Amber Harris from Tasmania might have the most memorable one yet. In a funny twist, her bosses couldn’t help but laugh when Harris found herself stuck at home thanks to an unexpected visitor—a 1,300-pound southern elephant seal named Neil.
The situation began when Harris woke up to find Neil lounging right in her driveway. This local seal seemed perfectly content, turning her morning routine upside down. With Neil taking over her driveway, Harris’s car was completely blocked in.
When she explained her dilemma to her office, the response was nothing but laughter. “I think this might go down as the all-time best excuse for missing work,” Harris said, laughing at the whole situation.
