Pagers (Score:2)
I didn't turn mine off though, the bloody battery ran out instead. It did run out - honest
Other notable excuses from my workplace that I've heard over the years include:
• I flushed my pager down the toilet.
• My pager was in vibrate mode and it vibrated off the kitchen counter into the trash.
• Dog ate it.
• Fell out of car window and someone ran it over (I kid you not).

I heard of someone going swimming with it on. I myself waded way off shore during low tide, knowing full well if I slipped and fell I was screwed.
Even right now the battery is low and I'll need to remember to put a new one it. I'll get to it
