       He was so shocked by the message that he posted a screenshot to social media, but hid the workers identity - and it soon went viral.

       The messages told how his girlfriend “ain’t washed f**k all, so he had no socks to wear.

       He then added that there was no way he could come in without socks because his work boots had “big holes in.”

       It read: "I can't come in I can't find any f****** socks.

       Twitter and Facebook users believe Ken was too soft on the skiver - as he let the man off.

       Ken responded: "You having a f****** laugh. Got no socks what the f***.

       “Okay see you tomorrow. But if that was someone else I would not have them back in."

       Many thought the excuse was a pack of lies, and believed that the man had just been out the night before.

       One wrote: "Can't you buy some socks on your way to work?"

       A second said: "Would you not just wear dirty socks?

       “Backpackers wear them for six months at a time. What a p****."

       A third added: "Why not just say you will lend him a pair. See what his excuse is then."
