Knighton Matt Posted 14 June 2006 Posted 14 June 2006 What's the best line you've given your boss for pulling a sickie due to one too many the night before? Or if you're a boss yourself what's the best excuse you've heard?

Strokes Posted 14 June 2006 Posted 14 June 2006 What's the best line you've given your boss for pulling a sickie due to one too many the night before? Or if you're a boss yourself what's the best excuse you've heard? When i used to work for this big firm, I didn't turn up for work for 2 days after an absolutley discracful drug and drink fuelled binge, and when the gaffa tackled me about it all i said was i was feeling a little depressed and nothing more was said. They had three people on long term sickness at the time for depression.

Knighton Matt Posted 14 June 2006 Author Posted 14 June 2006 "I have had the raging horn for fully 48 hours and did not wish to distract my colleagues" Best one so far I'm def using that one tomorrow cheers NW!
Nationwider Posted 14 June 2006 Posted 14 June 2006 Best one so far I'm def using that one tomorrow cheers NW! I must admit I've used a pre-existing illness as an excuse for non-attendance in the past when there was nowt wrong the day before. Shit job with shit pay though. Just make up any minor ailment, really underplay it when you get in, but then make a huge deal of rattling a small bottle of smints/junior paracetamol every two hours or so. Reserve the above for the most occasional absences - everyone hates the office sicknotes. Office politics is all about bluff and oneupmanship.
Daggers Posted 14 June 2006 Posted 14 June 2006 I only had a motorbike, so when I phoned up to say: "Sorry, can't make it in today, my piles are playing up something rotten" ...not one person blinked an eye. Many chuckled, but no one blinked...
Head Honcho Posted 14 June 2006 Posted 14 June 2006 Best excuse I've had was some twat of a scouser ringing in to say his girlfriend had been taken into hospital with a mis-carriage, unfortunately for him her mother rang me to ask to speak to him and was very surprised to hear that she was pregnant in the first place! Luckily for me he was a temp and never stepped foot on the premises again. Twat! Just because I live in Wales doesn't mean I spend all day picking fvcking Leeks

Luckily for me he was a temp and never stepped foot on the premises again. Twat! Just because I live in Wales doesn't mean I spend all day picking fvcking Leeks Shame, I like the balls of that excuse - I reckon anyone who phones in with a cold/flu/backache/children proablem should be instantly dismissed. Everyone should put a little effort into their excuses... I once told my tutor at college that I had missed a load of A level classes because of my Dad's brain haemorage. The next time was because he'd had a relapse. Bugger me if everyone wasn't dead surprised when my Dad arrived to parents evening in fine form. It would make me happy to tell you that, 25 years on, me and Dad laugh about it all now. It would make me happy but the slightest mention of it leads to him changing crimson...

Yeh to be honest I had no reason to doubt him, why on earth his girlfriends mum rang him that day is still a mystery, maybe she knew he was pulling a fast one so decided to drop him in it hoping he'd sod off back to Liverpool.
Jay Posted 15 June 2006 Posted 15 June 2006 at the place I work yesterday one of the delivery drivers drove their car to work to tell them that the doctor said that he couldn't drive for a few days and therefore he wasn't able to work!!!! crazy stuff!!!
