Daggers Posted 20 September 2006 Posted 20 September 2006 I have made out that my Dad was in hospital, food poisoning and influenza... ...but the ones that worked best were when I feigned a heart problem and the time when I suddenly had suspected appendicitis. Oh, and once piles stopped me riding my motorbike to work...but that was genuine :pinch:

Alexikokopops Posted 20 September 2006 Posted 20 September 2006 My friend told the French department at my Uni that he couldn't hand in an important piece of assessed work because his dad ahad been in a car accident and was in in a critical state in hospital. They gave him deadline extensions for about 4 large pieces of assessed work that had to be handed in in teh next few weeks and sent a letter to his dad wishing him a speedy recovery.

I used the Dad thing when I was doing my first set of A level at Kettering Tech. I'd missed some time and so I told them he'd suffered a heart attack. I missed more time and told them he'd had a second. On parents evening the Physics tutor sat there and said "You're looking very well, all things considering..." I was thrown out of home and college shortly afterwards

What did his dad think of that!?!?!?

Daggers Posted 20 September 2006 Author Posted 20 September 2006 Migrane is what i normally use.... Make sure you tell them it's 'Migraine with aura' that leads to nausea, photophobia, phonophobia and osmophobia. Otherwise no one is going to believe you. While you are explaining the problem, by the time you get to photophobia no one is listening let alone bothered if it's true or not

Guest Posted 21 September 2006 Posted 21 September 2006 I'm far too honest for that. Besides, I'm the sort of person who would get found out, despite using all my cunning. :pinch:
Daggers Posted 21 September 2006 Author Posted 21 September 2006 Mrs DB works for the NHS and it seems that everyone in her building is always off sick. The woman on the next desk has had this week off because she has "sleep problems"!
The People's Hero Posted 21 September 2006 Posted 21 September 2006 My wife has periods...around four a month Lasting about a week each time, right?

Dr The Singh Posted 21 September 2006 Posted 21 September 2006 Your wife is well and truly defective. Take her back, pick another one and hope for the best. I tried that one, and got the same problem, probably a defective batch!!! The only cure I know, is to aviod contact and on weekends induce yourself with alcohol, to numb the sensation!!!
Manwell Pablo Posted 21 September 2006 Posted 21 September 2006 Once told a lecturer I had Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma I have no had no idea what it does to you....and still don't...thankfully neither did he. infact I may find out.
Daggers Posted 21 September 2006 Author Posted 21 September 2006 Your wife is well and truly defective. Take her back, pick another one and hope for the best. Maybe our anniversary isn't the best day for that, but I'll run your suggestion by her and see what she reckons. Bless her, she's quite nice really.
