Whats the best excuse youve been given for taking a sicky

[Stu]

Maybe the uk just has a growing population of young people a lot are probaly hard working but there will always be the ones that don't wanna work or make excuses, I know a couple of guys that have there own company's at 20 od and are pretty successful so it's not every young person!

Quite a few years go now, I remember using the "too tired" sick note reason.... because holding down a 40 hour per week job as a mechanic AND playing 5 gigs a week in a rock band tends to make you feel a bit tired.

 

Received 2 verbals and a written; never looked back....

My boss has been given some good ones, 'my dog has ran away and we need to find him', 'my front door has warped and wont close', both from the same lad. Another lad last week just said,' soz, not comin in today boss' no excuse or anything, and when asked for a reason, 'i felt sick' was the best we could get.

Many years ago I phoned in sick because I awoke to a kitchen full of ants, there was an army in all the wall cupboards never seen anything like it.

 

I was proud of my original excuse as most are same old same old.

Vertigo.

Before Xmas I fell ill with vertigo and couldn't even crawl without vomiting.

Walked like a drunk for a week after.

Everybody laughed.

Apart from me.

One time I called in sick because I was Ill! End of! My body, my health, my life. Break myself so my boss wont think Im a sissy, please. These threads always bring out all the John Rambo's.

'' I though it was sunday'' for not appearing on a Monday

[felixthelogchopper]

I used to work in London with a guy who commuted in from Great Yarmouth. He had put his notice in and, a couple of days before he was due to finish, he phoned in sick, saying he had something wrong with his eyes. When they asked what was wrong, he said 'I can't see myself coming in'.

Curiously, 40% of all sick days are on a Monday or a Friday!
