Funny calling in sick excuses.

[tubby556]

My employees never cease to make me laugh. Some of you who have chatted with me for a while, know that I've been self employed since I was a teen and as such have had many employees since then. I've heard tons of excuses over the years (I'll be 29 in May). I could write a book about the stuff. I've heard the "eye infection" one over and over. This one was from last summer.

My 3rd shift manager called a half hour before he was to start and said he can't come in for his shift tonight. I asked him the reason, maybe he needed a ride to work and back. I can pick him up no problem done it before for people, even let them borrow my car for a few weeks until theirs gets out of the shop or whatever. No biggie. Life happens. Anyway, get this: Said he left his chainsaw out in the woods and it looks like it's going to rain. He had to go find it.

Few years before that, had a younger guy call in on a Sunday evening that he had to meet his lawyer about something and couldn't make it in tonight. I had trouble hearing him on the phone as there was a live monster truck show in the background on his phone. I know because I was at the same truck show standing about 30 feet away from him when he called me. The look on his face when he spun around and saw me was priceless.

You guys got any funny stories, either that you've heard or used yourself?

After almost 21 years on this Earth the only had one real job besides MFC is working at a dry cleaner. Never got to have a sick day because my mother was basically my boss and called me on my bullshit. Plus I was only 14 so it's not like I could get away with a lot anyways.

No funny sick day excuses, but I did get fired for drawing dicks on my (bitchy and psychotic) co-workers mini radio in silver permanent marker. >_>

I just would call and say hey, I don't feel like coming in. I'd get one of 2 responses: 1) Why not??? or 2) OK
If I got #1 I'd let them know why I wasn't coming in, didn't really need an excuse.

Back in highschool, my best friend ditched school with the im sick excuse to go to Cedar Point amusement park at the end of our senior year for the opening of the Milleneum Force rollercoaster. Only to see our Physics teacher standing in line too who had also called in sick!

I got totally wasted when my softball won the league championship 3 years ago so I called in sick to work. I was living in Virginia at the time and said that I had a family emergency back "home" in Michigan and was driving there now. I said that I was at the 1st rest stop on the ohio turnpike after driving through pennsylvania and had been on the road since 11pm the night before. To cover up the lie I ended up taking the whole week off! in my defense, I was THAT DRUNK and probably needed the whole week to sober up.

I'm too lazy to come up with excuses... we have paid time off for a reason. I just email my boss and say "I'm using one of my personal days today"

No questions asked.

When I was a life guard I called in once and said "I cant leave my house, its dangerous outside. That's where the civil war was held!" Luckily it was my day off

When I worked at Burger King, it was hurricane season (I think hurricane Jeanne, I can't remember). My road got washed out so I called them and told them "I could not ford the river, so I wasn't going to be able to make it to Oregon"

"I can't come in today. I have to drive to another city to get the errors on my bills cleared."

is one that I've heard. Okay, I was paraphrasing.

When I was in charge of a handful of employees, I got lame excuses constantly. I honestly am really good about showing up to jobs, so I normally only called in "sick".

Lines my employees would give me:

"I got shit to do". (Don't we all, asshole?!)
"I'm taking my car in today" (Because during work hours is an appropriate time to get your oil changed, ya?)
"I'm on my period, I have cramps". (You're an adult, you should be used to the monthly bleeding routine by now)

Also, for being late: "I had to get gas".

I am glad I am my own boss and have no employees to look after these days!

Sometimes I have to straight up ask them: Do you seriously care about your job? If not, go and find one you care about.

"I'm not going to be on today guys. I have a few levels left in the game and I WILL BEAT IT BEFORE I SLEEP. Ok? Much hugs see you tomorrow."


<_<

It was the truth, but still.

LOL! I've pulled one of those before. And I've actually had a few regs get mad at me for it. :shock: I always figured as a cam girl you do what you want, which for most part is true. So if people don't understand the need to game damnit that's their loss. XD

 

[AbbyTaylor]

I'm hungover and can't move more or less get on cam.
lol. That's usually my excuse.

"I'msickkthxbai" when it's not texted, but spoken, sounds a little suspicious.
