What is your best excuse for calling into work?

The best one that I ever used was "I'm sorry I'll be late, my daughter got shot and I'm at the hospital."

It really happened her dumb ex-BF shot her in the finger with a.22 on accident. Yes I was pissed at both of them they both knew better. And yes they were both adults but not acting like it. I checked to make sure it wasn't serious and headed in. Why mess with my paycheck over their dumb anticks?

I am having a severe gastrointestinal disturbance and, if I come to work, there is a chance that my farts will result in one or more co-workers needing emergency medical treatment.

Glad you appreciate the humor! Thanks for MHO!

My cat was hit by a car and hurt badly and I have to take her to the pet hospital so she won't die.

This really did happen to me and what could they say? No, just let your cat die?

Thank you for the MHO 🙂🧁🌷

I have a "once in a lifetime" opportunity. I have to try this.

I used to just say that I was not feeling well. I never coughed or pretended to be sick.

I never really lied about it.

The only excuse I gave was that I was sick.

You could say that your cat ate your fish so now you are trying to fish it out of its belly

I think I may be going blind because I can't see myself coming in to work today.
