Calling in sick excuses
Permalink Closed

This was on MSN today.  They are actual excuses that people used when they called in sick to work.  Too funny...


Think carefully, if you're debating calling in sick, here are some of the most unusual excuses workers gave for missing work.


  • I was sprayed by a skunk.


  • I tripped over my dog and was knocked unconscious.


  • My bus broke down and was held up by robbers.


  • I was arrested as a result of mistaken identity.


  • I forgot to come back to work after lunch.


  • I couldn't find my shoes.


  • I hurt myself bowling.


  • I was spit on by a venomous snake.


  • I totaled my wife's jeep in a collision with a cow.


  • A hitman was looking for me.


  • My curlers burned my hair and I had to go to the hairdresser.


  • I eloped.


  • My brain went to sleep and I couldn't wake it up.


  • My cat unplugged my alarm clock.


  • I had to be there for my husband's grand jury trial.


  • I had to ship my grandmother's bones to India.


  • I forgot what day of the week it was.


  • Someone slipped drugs in my drink last night.


  • A tree fell on my car.


  • My monkey died.

    I have a good one... This is from my sister who is a optometrist:


    A woman calls her boss one morning and tells him that she is staying home because she's not feeling well.


    "What's the matter?", he asks.


    "I have a case of anal glaucoma," she says in a weak voice.


    "What in the hell is anal glaucoma?"


    "I can't see my ass coming into work today!"

    Oh Lord. Aren't you just supposed to be able to say "I'm sick" and that's sufficent? Or is it personal days when you don't really need to provide a reason. I remember when I had went through employee orientation at my firm they told us something like that so I usually just call up and say that I don't feel well and my boss never asks any questions.

    I don't think that they are legally allowed to ask specific questions. But I do believe that employers can require a doctor's note simply stating that 'So and so is sick and will be unable to work for said period of time.'

    "I can't come in to work today, the police are on their way, my dog was assasinated."


    WTF? I love animals...........but he was assasinated? What is he JFK or something?I would have just said my dog died.My aunt says she's a liar and REAL DRAMA QUEEN.

    My friend works with this slack-ass who constantly has excuses why he was late or away. His most recent: "I was late b/c I saw a guy get hit by a car on my way in and when I tried to help, he died in my arms. "


    Strangley it wasn't in the paper or on the news. Hmmm...
