Can neither confirm nor deny if this relates to me right now 
However, just in case it does…
What’s the most creative reason you ever have for calling in sick (and did you get away with it?) X |

I once arrived two hours late for work because one of the lovely fabbers has handcuffed one of my arms to the bed while she gave me a teasing blowjob, she then sat on top rode me like a jockey in the national then proceeded to get up, shower, do make up and get ready for work, I took a photo of my handcuffed arm for my manager as proof, best morning sex ever and two hours off work paid….

Do people actually ring in sick and blatantly lie to their employers?
I can honestly say I've never had a day off sick when I haven't been ill. I have to be very poorly to ring in sick, it's all about respect, honesty and morals for me. |

I never call in sick unles I am genuinely sick and really poorly to not go to work. I don’t drink, (not to a level that I’d get d*unk anyway) so can’t even call in sick for a hangover.
That was one of the first cultural shocks when I got here in the UK - how people call in sick just for anything. Not judging but |

I wouldn't say it's a cultural thing in the UK.
I definitely don't come across a lot of people that call in sick on the regular.
Maybe the population is higher in the UK then your homeland so therefore the ratio of sick callers would increase?
As a teen working part time in retail, I'd call in sick if I was being lazy, don't think I had a particularly memorable excuse for sickness. I once told a college tutor I was late because my porridge was too hot, which then snowballed into a series of events that led to my lateness.
As an adult I'd only call in sick if I was at deaths door... (No not man flu ) |

Have never called in sick. It's much more work not being there, sending in work for the day etc etc and then clearing up the inevitable mess once you're back.
Have been off when in hospital having gen anaesthetics. Every time have had my line manager bring a laptop to me so I could send work in. Silly really but actually not much else to do in hospital I suppose. |

Well I’m going to be the party pooper.
People calling in sick, when they are not genuinely sick, really fucks me off.
It’s not the moral issue of being deceitful, that’s between the individual and their own conscience.
It’s the issue of other people having to carry extra or having their work curtailed because someone else’s presence is required for the job to be done and they are at home swinging the lead.
If you want time off, arrange it, don’t shit on others. |

Interesting replies, thanks all (and for those of you who don’t agree with calling in sick, the only person picking up the slack would be me tomorrow, I’m a team of one - and I’m working from home anyway  )
But yes, the temptation to call in last night was high
Would love more workplaces to have a good ol’ duvet day option. But appreciate the logistics nightmare for that. |

It's the biggest irritation I have with a colleague at work.
Her... I've been her 5 years never had a day off sick. (Boss claps and uses her as example)
Me.. no mate you just come in with it (including covid in 2021) and give it to us instead so we are off. (Boss berates those off and complains)
Boils my piss everytime and I still bite ffs |
