Best Excused to get the day off [Archive] - Beastie Boys Message Board

We all know the common excuses people use when calling into work like
"my car wont start"
"I lost my keys"
"I have the flu and cant work for fear I will be throwing up all day"
diareha (sp) always works

But lets hear some more creative off the wall ones that the boss man believed.

This one is stupid but today, to be able to go in late, I called and said that out of nowhere, my sister dropped off my nephews because she had an emergency to attend to. They were pissed but she said I am not going to have you chose between your family and job so just get here asap. Yeah, now I get to play on my computer, take my dog for a walk and lay around. :D

I actually called in last night! I was quite proud of myself, because I go in no matter what. Oh, I said "I won't be in tonight because I'm not feeling well." My boss said "OK, thanks for calling."

I have yet to call in for a full day off... I always come in, do some work, then leave sick, but can't bring myself to do it the entire day... I guess I haven't been sick enough or had a good concert to see in the city yet...

I did--in email to my group. I noticed that was only the men from my group who asked what happened.

I did last week because of a wardrobe malfunction.

I had to go home once because the clasp of my bra broke. It clasped in the front and all of a sudden I felt a pop...then a breeze. No other way around that.

I worked for a restaraunt in college and I actually had the evening off. My boss called me at around 3:00 because someone had called in sick and was wondering if I could fill in. TOTALLY didn't feel like working so I told him that since I had the day off, I went and had some drinks and was too drunk to come in.....can't argue with that (y) Then I went out and actually had some drinks!

'Um, yeah, Paul. I can't come in to work today. Why? Well, there's this girl, and you know, things got outta hand. One thing led to another, and I found out she was fourteen. Yeah, well, long story short, I gotta find a wood chipper fairly quick, and this'll just conflict with my search. Okay? Alright, I'll be in tomorrow. Probably. Depends how easy blood is to get out of a carpet. Speaking of which, do you have club soda? Oh shit, gotta go. Getting away from me. Bye.'

I actually pulled a lil scam on my boss today. I was working in another shop yesterday kind of a swing shift right? I got done at like 7 but went to my buddy's place to chill with him, his lady and her friend. So we started drinking and hanging out. So I called my supervisor at like 11 (gotta make sure he's a sleeping cus being zoned out helps) and told him I just got off and asked it it would be okay if I came in around noon today. He went for it and I spent the rest of the night playing beer pong and passing out

My work just called I said I couldn't work cause I’m going out for dinner with my mommy and I haven't seen her in a while. I make excuses that they can't argue with and they feel bad for me.

definetly the shits. no one argues that. if you have the balls to mention you have the shits you deserve that day off. you know people are gonna be talking shit about you all day anyways. and your gonna get that shit flung right back at you again when you return on the following day.

i always used to use "food poisoning" usually some bad mussels or shell fish.

if there's any questions after that i start talking about this horrible bile coming out of both ends... that usually finishes up the conversation pretty quick.

considering i worked 18 hrs with e-coli poisoning for real, worked an entire week with broken ribs and could barely breathe and also worked with my anterior clavicular poking out my shoulder wearing a sling, i'd say it all comes out in the wash.

then i quit. hoo-ha! i'm semi retired for the next couple of weeks.

Someone in my office announced that she was leaving early to see a movie. Boss said nothing.

A coupla months later the same lady and 2 other women announced that they were going to a sidewalk sale at the mall. Again, boss said nothing.

I wish I didn't have so much to do and could take advantage like this.

haha oh god.. its summer man, this brings back memories.
what i used to do is have my boyfriend or my friends call, telling my school that thier my brothers (thier all older, and i do have several half brothers, so the people always believed them)
and they would tell them that thier coming to get me because theres a funeral i have to go to/docters appointment/death of a realative/friend/pet.
then they come to the school, sign me out, and we'd go downtown and skate the "sea" walls or hang out at Navy Peir.
I think all together I've had a good amount of sick days...

Ferris Buelers little sister!! :p

The big D always works, as a few people have already mentioned. If you really want the day off, you can get it. Vomiting works just as well as Diarheah. Yeah, if it isn't supposed to come out of either hole the way it does, there's something wrong.

I stood up in the middle of a pretty bad day at work, looked at my boss and said, " I'm in a foul mood and you aren't helping any! I'm going to go get a pedicure. I need it for my mental health." She said, "uhhhhh ok...you go do what you need to." Then I left.

I once called to say I had a flat tire then realized it would only get me an hour or so off so I said I blew out two flats because who the hell has two spares to put on. I actually changed one of my tires to the spare the next day it would look legit. damn , the shit I would do to get out of work. It was almost more work to put the spare on.

:eek:
