What is the biggest lie of excuse a coworker or a Employee has said in order to not show up to work?

In black Friday I had an employee called that he wasn't going to make it to work because he had to attend his grandmother's funeral funny thing we all saw his grandmother shopping in a Saturday. When this employee showed up to work the next day we all told him oh hey the ghost of your grandmother came to visit us she was shopping his face turn so red. Yeah I give him a right up. So question of the day what fake excuse has a coworker or employee you heard them tell you?

My boss was British and he had fallen off a ladder and hurt his back. He would call in sick when his back acted up. Then a guy in my staff noticed that every time he called in sick Arsenal, his favorite football club in the UK, was playing on TV that day.

One of my technicians called in sick. He was moaning and coughing and telling me how sick he was. A couple of hours later he shows up at work. Apparently his father in law was going to be spending the day there and he couldn't stand the guy

One of the most memorable excuses I encountered was when an employee claimed they couldn't come to work because their pet parrot was having a "nervous breakdown" and needed emotional support. It was so unique that it became a lighthearted story among colleagues. While it’s important to be empathetic, creativity in excuses can sometimes reach amusing levels. Always address the situation with professionalism and fairness.

One of my coworkers, a guy from Nigeria, said he couldn’t make it to work because it was raining.
