You definitely have used some of these
We’re certain that all of our readers are honest, professional and hard working people that would never even dream of calling in sick to work.
*Cough, cough*. See boss, we’re actually sick.
To be honest, I can’t even continue with this horrible charade because I was so tempted to call my boss this morning and say “sorry but I can’t make it in today. My gran ate the goldfish and then she fell down a manhole. True story”.
Reed.co.uk have compiled a list of the most popular excuses/lies that people use when pulling a sickie and you definitely should take note.
1) I’m sick
2) A member of my family is sick
3) I’m in A&E
4) My phone battery died
5) My dog is sick
6) I was robbed last night
7) I fainted on the way to work
8) I don’t feel like going in
9) I’ve broken my leg
10) I’m locked out of my house
Hat-Tip to i100 for this.
