"Oh I can't, it's raining" is a great excuse used by lazy people the world over. Sure, there are some instances in which rain does halt the activity you were planning to do. Outdoor sports… that's understandable. A pleasant stroll in the park? Probably not so pleasant under a torrential downpour. Painting your fence? Yeah, probably best left to another day.
But I'm also guilty of canceling plans "because of rain" that have nothing to do with it. That exercise class 5 minutes down the block? I can't possibly go, I'd show up slightly damp. Laundry? On a rainy day? Forget about it. (Yes, my washer/dryer is in my building). Rain is the perfect excuse. But not in the case of delaying a paycheck. Um, sorry, I don't see what that has to do with me getting paid on time. Try again, buddy. But that's exactly what happened to this Redditor. Read on for his coworker's great response.
