CRIPTIC CHAMELEON Posted November 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Ah yes the good old sicky I've heard some whoppers over the years and I've even told a few, one of the best was a mates wife rang in and told the boss that her husbands work pants have been stolen of the line and eaten by a herd of goats. So folks whats your best excuse to take a sick day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted November 13, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I've done it loads of time, because I was ill and didn't realise it, so couldn't face work everyday....the worst one was 'I fell downstairs last night and put my back out'. Thankfully now I'm medically retired I can wake up every morning without that anxiety, or the need to come up with a dumb excuse! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashotep Posted November 13, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I didn't miss work too much but I did lie about being sick a couple of times. Just had to have to have the day off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlequin Dreamer Posted November 13, 2012 #8 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) I didn't miss work too much but I did lie about being sick a couple of times. Just had to have to have the day off. I know what you mean. I used the brocken car excuse once to many times and got caught out. By the way I like your avatar.

MissMelsWell Posted November 15, 2012 #11 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I called in "hungover" once... fortunately, the rest of my department called in "sick" with various lies. We'd all been at a wild company party the night before. Since I was the only who called in with the truth, I got paid! Everyone else had to take a vacation day. LOL. Two thumbs up for telling the truth, even when the truth is unpleasant! LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

with bells on Posted November 15, 2012 #13 Share Posted November 15, 2012 for women saying you have period cramps is the best excuse.. no one can argue with that, especially if your boss is male.. men are safest saying they have food poisoning.. and its coming out both ends.. leaves a nice visual for the employer.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckys_Mom Posted November 15, 2012 #14 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Womanly problems. I would tell you to take some pain killers and get your ass into work lol I never took any time off for monthly problems, and i did have it bad.. I knew that if I did, it would look really bad, because the rest of the women in my team were always in ... A hot cup of coffee or tea, few painkillers, and I went on the move.. It wasn't so bad in the end.. A bit of exercise helps .. Edited November 15, 2012 by Beckys_Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckys_Mom Posted November 15, 2012 #15 Share Posted November 15, 2012 for women saying you have period cramps is the best excuse.. no one can argue with that, especially if your boss is male.. If a male boss can see other women getting on with their work day, and knowing some of them complaining about their pain, yet he see's they can still get on with things.. I seriously doubt he will accept the monthly problem as an excuse.... I wouldn't accept it as an excuse, and I know exactly what it's like.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckys_Mom Posted November 15, 2012 #19 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Well I've seen it work many times. Lol. Some girls get it bad. I know, I was one of them that did... I used to sit down the back at break time and drink hot tea , smoke a ciggy, a couple of strong pain killers and it helped me cope the rest of the day. It can drain you and make you feel tired...so when I got home, a hot water bottle or hot bean bag for my tummy.. and I would sleep..

CRIPTIC CHAMELEON Posted November 15, 2012 Author #20 Share Posted November 15, 2012 When one has been told not to work indefinately because they have medical problems.
