I resently called in sick, went to the doctor and got a prescription. While waiting on the pharmacy to fill the prescription, I walked out into the shopping center to wait for the prescription to be ready.

Some girls from work saw me and reported it to the boss. Of course, I had my prescription receipt with the date and time and a note from the doctor. My boss called these girls in at my request and told them what a mistake they’d made by “assuming” and what that made them by doing so. You know the old saying….

I once saw a guy at the beach when he was supposed to be at work. I didn’t say a word. He saw me when I saw him. He goes back and rants and raves to his supervisor. He got a lecture from the Big Boss when he went in and said he knew I didn’t like him and that he was sure I told him what had happened. I hadn’t…. Even not liking the guy, I assumed his lead had asked him to go or he was taking an approved break. Not my problem and I didn’t stick my nose into it. So, he essentially told on himself.

It’s just better not to start these games with co-workers. Besides, sometimes we need a mental day… Unless it affects you or is a habit, why spoil life for someone else. This could have been a day where something terrible happened, a break up or even something else bad. Leave it be and wish them well. You haven’t walked in their shoes… don’t assume.

So I guess the point of this thread is to ask what's the best excuse you used to get off work or the best excuse you've heard for getting off work when you knew it wasn't true ?

A guy rang in saying he got snowed in, but he lived in the middle of town....I'd come from 20 mile away and had driven in fine...Annoyed I told him, 'oh I've just driven through town, no worries I'll pop down to get you'

Haha I had a boss who would call in and say they couldn't come in on snowy days. I used to get the bus to work, which went right past his house, and still ran in snowy weather.

Like you though, I don't care if I spot a colleague having a "sick day" (unless they do it so much that it's bringing the team down). Sometimes we all just need a mental health day and I don't know what's happening in their world. I've had mental health days myself so no judgement from me. Mental health is as important as physical health and there really shouldn't be the taboo that there is around mental health days.

Bloody frustrating. I drive into work from Port Talbot to Caerphilly once in bad snow, we had engineers traveling from southern Germany. They left in the early hours and arrived late morning to be told there were no operators available as they couldn't get across town

Not surprised that pissed you off! Some people properly take the piss and that day he caught me in the vilest of moods because of having to get up early and dig my car out

I phoned in saying I would be late for a night shift because of car trouble once, because the cat hadn't come back in. Was only 15 mins late.

I can chuck a sickie whenever I want.

The joys of self employment.

The major downside of course being I don't get paid if I do.

Swings and roundabouts.........

I'm my own boss,so the excuse of "Can't be arsed" is perfectly acceptable had some belters from my staff over the years,one of my favourites was a lad telling me he couldn't come in because he had got tonsillitis,which would usually be fine but he'd had a week off the month before for a tonsillectomy

I fell asleep on the train to Manchester, next thing I’m in Liverpool. Phoned it in saying I’d just woken up (true) and wasn’t well enough to make it, had an impromptu city break instead…

Not where we seem to be...

I was evacuated from my house at 5 in the morning due to a van fire a few doors down, the van had gas cylinders in the back.

Everyone sent to the village social club in our pyjamas.

I phoned to say I'd not be at work, car stuck on the street, no clothes, no wallet, just the house keys and my mobile.

Very sarcastic and disbelieving boss on the other end of the phone.

Later that day, me in my jammies, still in the club, being interviewed by BBC Local News.

Alibi established and confirmed.

Winston

Calderdale innit

Heard a few over the years ,regularly had a woman in an old job who rang in for power cuts ,sick relatives and sleeping in.

Eventually they asked her to leave

That's awful going to your boss op,even if you're sick you're allowed to leave the house .

Interestingly. You can still get the infection and feel like crap. You just don't have the added distraction of swollen tonsils and inability to swallow!
