'I have trouble with my back.'
'Oh dear - what's wrong?'
'I can't get it off the bed in the morning.'
(After a little smirk, the boss suspended him for a day. That taught him not to be cheeky.)

I cant come into work because my sister is missing in another state and my mom just had a heart attack. WORST lie and excuse for not going into work.

Excuses like 'my bike's got a puncture' - what's wrong with walking into walk? - especially when you know they don't live that far away.
Doctors appointment - some people feel the need to see the doctor every week!
I've got to look after my sister - when their sister is about 14 and can look after herself.
The list is endless but I like the one about the rat.

Well, a few years back there was a petrol strike, and someone in my class didn't go to school because 'her dad needed petrol for work, and so couldn't take her to school'. I thought that was a bit odd considering every other day she got to school by bus.

I once played golf on top of the sussex downs in winter, and had to call in work the next day saying i had a bad case of "windburn!"
I couldn't explain it any better than that. No one knew what I was talking about.

Someone phoned in telling us her hair dryer was broken. It took me about 15 minutes to get her to realise that having wet hair isn't a reason for staying off work.

In an environment where literacy was poor I once heard "I can't come in today, I'm in bed with the doctor"

Co-worker phoned in a personal day because a deer got hit in front of his house and he wanted to stay home so he could butcher it.
