Calling In Sick What's the most creative excuse you've ever used when calling in sick... or most creative that you've heard?
I can't think of any right now off the top of my head... | |

I once took a call from an employee claiming he had died, and he was too upset to come in, and that he would return sometime after his funeral. | |

I say that I am sick and it is coming out both ends (sounding sickly on the phone that is).
Another one is my aunt died and I will be taking a leave of absence (time which is needed for travel to the funeral). Now I can go back to bed, see yaaa!!!

You don't say that your aunt died more than once or more than as many aunts that you have, do you? I used it only once coz after 2 or 3 times they'll figure it out. Then you also got to think of plan B.

I thought you had one and I wondered what the back up plan was! | |

When I was 16 or so my gf's parents were out of town and I had to go to work.I called my job,but no go even after I told them I was in an accident.So I took this huge bandage that covered the side of my face.Then around the bandage I put iodine all over.LOL,I swear it looked like someone put an axe into my head.I go walking in and all these customers and employees just stood still.When my boss took a look at me he sent me home and gave me two weeks off. | |

  Cool!
LOL -- I remember once when I was working at a temporary job, I wanted to go to Minneapolis with a friend, but didn't want to ask for the time off to go on vacation since I had just started there. So I called my supervisor and told her that a close relative of mine was sick, and that I needed time off to take care of them. It worked, and I was able to go and have a good time. Another time when I wanted to go to Minneapolis but didn't have the time coming (different job), I told my boss that I was involved in a car accident and had whiplash. I even went to the emergency room and got one of those collars to put on, which I wore when I came back to work (even though my bitchy female boss did not believe my story).  Needless to say, I quit that job shortly thereafter.
I don't made up excuses like that anymore, I wait until I have the time coming before I take it off to go anywhere. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |
