Not feeling like work today?
Sick excuses for the work-shy
You’re not alone. Apparently 43 per cent of people throw a sickie on a regular basis… but when you phone up your boss with an excuse, try to not use ones as lame as these from msn.careerbuilder.com:
- “I’m too drunk to drive to work.”
- “I accidentally flushed my keys down the toilet.”
- “I had to help deliver a baby on my way to work.” (Employee was not in the medical profession.)
- “I accidentally drove through the automatic garage door before it opened.”
- “My boyfriend’s snake got loose and I’m afraid to leave the bedroom until he gets home.”
- “I’m too fat to get into my work pants.”
- “God didn’t wake me.” (Employee didn’t believe in alarm clocks and thought a higher power would wake her when she was ready.)
- “I cut my fingernails too short, they’re bleeding and I have to go to the doctor.”
- “The ghosts in my house kept me up all night.”
- “I forgot I was getting married today.”
- “My cow bit me.”
- “My son accidentally fell asleep next to wet cement in our backyard. His foot fell in and we can’t get it out.”
- “I was watching a guy fixing a septic pump, fell in the hole and hurt myself.”
- “I was walking my dog and slipped on a toad in my driveway and hurt my back.”
- “My house lock jammed, and I’m locked in.”
