What are your stories - I need a good laugh

Answer 1

i once had to phone in sick to go to a presentation at my sons barracks. we have this system where the manager rings u back. he rang me during a rifle range display. when he asked what all the noise was in the background i told him we live in a rough neighbourhood.

Answer 2

Not sure if this counts as 'throwing a sickie', but I was pulled up for walking in late (again due to a rampant hangover), and the boss who very often walked in late week in week out, decided out of the blue to ask me why I was late.

I couldn't believe her audacity, but could tell in her eyes that was being quite serious, so looking her straight in the eye I replied with an apologetic shrug, "Ah. I had a REALLY difficult shite. Just couldn't get off the toilet this morning."

Answer 3

I rang in and said I had really bad sunburn, then as i said it I realised I would have to go get a tan real quick!

I spent the day out on a friends boat and burnt to a crisp. I then really did have to take a couple of days off as I was redder than a lobster dipped in red paint!

I should really have just told the truth, that I wanted to spend the day fishing and getting pissed on a boat.

I got spotted once when I rang in with 'stomach problems'

I was running for a bus to go shopping in town and my boss drove past.

When he saw me the next day, I had to lie and say I was on my way to the doctors and got caught short, so was running to find a loo. I dont know if he believed me or not, but he neversaid anything.

Answer 4

"My neighbor and friend down the street is out of town and phoned me after the dog-sitter called and said their dog died. They asked me to bury it, and it needs to be done soon, as they have several other dogs in the house that are very curious. The dog sitter is an old lady, and I'm the only other person around they knew to call."

That was stolen from a real-life situation that caused me to be late to my first job. I've re-used it because it's believeable. It's especially good in the winter, when the ground is almost solid and it'll take a good while to dig.

Answer 5

ok, it truly is the stupidest maximum embarassing fake ill i have pulled! So, in English (1st era) i'm reading 4 the massive historic previous try on the suitable of the day.

I only did it once.
I worked for a chain store, with a lot of employees.
I rang up and said that I was vomiting, but went shopping with a friend. All day I was worried that I was going to bump into someone, it ended up being a horrible day.
I have never done it again.

Answer 8

My employer provides 10 sick days for the employees. Whenever I "feel" sick, I just call up and say I won't be in because I'm not feeling well. Whether I'm actually sick or not. Sometimes I just don't feel like being here. So, I'm sort of mentally sick. I rarely get physically sick (flu, cold, etc.)

No excuses. I not trying to get away with anything.
