Most Idiotic Excuse Ever.......
Jump to: Newest in thread
I'm stuck in London and can't get back... after a gig, ended up drinking looong into the night with one of the band's. Was in no fit state to go in, called in and left a voicemail and had a guy shout out something rather inappropriate from the background. Whoops.. Mrs. |

Having had an emotional breakdown at work and very loudly telling the boss (the company owner) to go fuck himself, in front of all the other employees, then storming out... I went home, next day emailed in saying that I'd had a breakdown because reasons x, y and z, and that I was going to try get the help that I obviously needed.
Boss told me to take whatever time required on sick leave, see the doc, try to get lots of rest, come back when I was well again...
Um, what was the question? I think that I've only ever taken sick time when I was so physically or mentally fucked that working was essentially impossible. |

Only done it once which I used to go for a job interview. I would've used an annual leave day but already used one for another interview and as we were still in January I didn't want to waste them in case I didn't get either of the jobs  |

"I've only called in sick when I was actually sick.
But the most embarrassing one was, phone only call in, needed cover - laryngitis, couldn't talk. Had to get mummy to do it  "
Yup I've done that! Completely lost my voice, agony to try and talk so I had to write the info down for my mum to call and tell them |

I stupidly rang in & said I'd a tummy bug... It was alcohol related... Anyway...that afternoon my party mate calls & says hey let's go out for a liquid lunch...Didn't take much to twist my arm...Lottsa pics were taken & unbeknownst to me were posted on FB with me tagged in them...All for my Boss to see as he was a FB friend... The cringe was unreal when I discovered Sat morning...I managed to get away with it somehow  without a warning |

"Not exactly an embarrassing excuse but did ring in sick once only to be caught on tv at a football match at the opposite end of the country that night!!! "

That's why my boss isn't a FB friend  |

Not so much as excuse . I was on 12 hour nights . Woke up for night shift. Saw one of my fish tanks looked low water . Within less than fifteen minutes realised tank had major leak. Phoned company to say not coming in, due to leak / flood . Did get questioned by company . But when I explained that fish tank actually held over 200 gallons understood. My main concern was the fish. One to replace would cost minimum £250. I had purchased the one in tank for £20. |

Yes as I had another tank. The fish I mentioned about live for about another ten years in replacement tank . With others that saved although most did not live that time  |

Damn social media 
Technically I was caught out twice that day and blatantly too! The 2nd way will remain undisclosed though |
