Monday Excuses for Calling in Sick

Posted by cotojo on April 7, 2008

“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 escaped from its cage and I’m afraid to leave the bedroom until he gets home.”
“I’m too fat to get into my work outfit.”
“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 garden. His foot fell in and we can’t get it out.”
“I was walking down the street watching road works being done, 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.”

  18. Mel Says:

    Hi Colin, I’ll need to try some of these. I especially like the “Too Fat” one.

    Consider this a personal invitation to take part in my Gratitude Challenge. It is my latest meme and even has its own site. I anticipate that this will eventually grow bigger than the Big Bang. It would be very interesting to see what you come up with. http://AreYouGrateful.Com

    Mel

  19. Michelle Dawn Says:

    All of are great! I needed a good laugh! Thanks

  22. RennyBA Says:

    So what do you do if your office is your computer and you can work from anywhere? I guess the only thing you can hope for, is a disk crash then :lol:

  23. Mary Ann Says:

    Come back, come back, wherever you’re at!
    [Enter maniacal laughter here]

  24. Diane Says:

    Hi Colin
    You’ve been very quiet of late on both your blogs so I just wanted to check that everything was OK.
    Looking forward to your next post :)

    Diane

  25. RennyBA Says:

    Hey you; still sick? ;-)

  26. Tina Says:

    ha ha brilliant excuses. Employees have prob heard some right tales in the past. They never believe your excuse anyway so you may as well lie. Well my boss never used to believe anyone anyway!

  27. Pendullum Says:

    Great list!

  28. Speedcat Hollydale Says:

    Colin, this will be going to be copied on my fridge! I will never be caught wondering what to use as an excuse again!! How did you come up with all of these … ROLF!

    … I forgot I was getting married today???

    Speedy

  29. shinade Says:

    Hello my dear friend,
    I have heard that you are ill. Please know that you are in my prayers. I truly hope that whatever is wrong is not too serious. Please when you are able let me know that you are okay. You can do so via email if you prefer or simply drop by site. I am back up and running.
