Question: Have you ever called in “sick”…and you weren’t sick? I guess 40% of folks have done just that. (And that’s up 5% from last year.)
Next question: What excuse did you give your boss? I mean, you can’t be honest, right? You can’t say: “I don’t feel like coming in today”, or “I had some Christmas shopping I needed to catch up on”.
Listed below are the 10 “craziest” excuses that people have actually used when faking a sick day:
1. An employee claimed they swallowed a toothpick at a restaurant.
2. A guy couldn’t come in because he broke his arm wrestling a female bodybuilder.
3. Someone, quote, “called in fat” because their uniform didn’t fit.
4. A woman’s dog swallowed her keys, and she was waiting for them to come out.
5. Their phone exploded and hurt their hand.
6. There was a bear in their yard.
7. A guy claimed he left all his clothing at a laundromat.
8. They couldn’t come in because they didn’t have enough gas in their car.
9. A woman’s fake nail fell off, and she needed an emergency manicure.
10. Someone called in sick back in August, because they were afraid to be out during the solar eclipse.
