Whats the best excuse you have used to blow off work?

Question

Someone just called in and said their dog just swallowed a tennis ball and they couldn't make it in today..

Answer 1

I haven't used any erroneous excuses but, I had an employee that called in saying that she couldn't come in reason being, she had been up with another one of our employees all night at the ER because his ex had super glued his hand to his "love rod" and then super glued his eyelids while he slept! All because he cheated on her. Come to find out, my employee was the one he was cheating on his wife with! It was way too funny and we never let him live it down!

Answer 2

The one everyone thought was funny. I was going to work (snowy) slid into what I thought was a pole. Turned around went back home told them I wrecked and was not coming in.

Upon closer inspection I only damaged my wheel. Did not hit a pole but instead just hit the curb. Told them when I went in. They all thought it was very funny.

I didn't it cost me $100.00 to replace my wheel.

My excuses are usually sick.

Answer 3

I spent last night working on call for 8 hours. I'm not coming in.

I was pissed off that day. Either I was getting a day off or I was quitting.

Answer 4

I've called in dead before...told them that I'd be in tomorrow. I also had to pick up my boss and take him in and as I dropped him off told him that I wouldn't be coming in today...just didnt' feel like being there.
