Best Excuses

[Arkengate]

For getting off work!
I want to hear what people have said/heard for people to get a night off work, lol..

I know my Gma has died atleast 4 or 5 times, and my cousin has been in the hospital a few times (she actually did flip her car 2 years ago and is still crippled from it, but i have used it as recently as a month ago, haha...)

Car stuck in snow, is another good one i have used.

What about you guys?

 

[CStick]

say that you REALLY need to go to the free clinic to get yourself checked out

they wont ask too many questions

 

[typh]

I usually just cross out my name on the schedule. They assume a manager did it and don't ask any questions. For extra protection I can just write "won't be here" or "sick" underneath it.

Yeah, they're idiots.

 

[GoldShadow]

Sounds like a nice setup you got there, Tiff. As for me, I've never really tried to make things up to get out of working

 

[F8AL]

I either tell them I have plans for that time period or I'm sick.

 

[Haruno Kotetsu]

i used up all my sick days - i called in dead o_o

 

[DainBramaged]

To get off work it's just I'm usually sick...but I remeber this one time in highschool...LMAO

I had to hand in an 1000 word essay (which I didn't do) right?

so like, right during class, I drew this funny little picture of these shakespear characters...I handed it in instead, and was like

"Miss, a picture is worth a 1000 words " =P

by the way, I learned it doesn't work...so don't try it

I hate to be the spoil sport, but I try not to miss any days of work :\.

 

[Shazz]

I only skip it when I'm sick, although my definition of sick is not really copied from the dictionary.

 

[Doubt]

Just say you're sick. Usually works. Just make sure you have an answer for "Aw, what's wrong?" etc.

 

[_kSo_]

Just tell them the family llama has passed. Trust me, they'll understand...*sniff*

 

[Crimson King]

I've never been questioned when I missed work. Of course at every job I was always considered the "hard worker" so they assumed me not being there was either really really bad or something.

 

[wazgood]

sorry no time - best excuse evar

 

[Ripple]

I forgot to remember- best ever

 

[Serbi]

Flying lessons (yay no work on saturdays )

 

[bksands77]

send your boss threats

 

[Crimson King]

Post excuses you have actually used and stories how you used them. Don't post excuses if you never had a job, ie last 4 people who posted.

 

[Xsyven]

If you have braces, "orthodontist appointments" works wonders.

 

[Sugoi]

I honestly explain the reason I cant make it(family passing or plans, actually sick, ect) or if I am just want the day off to mess around I tell them I'm sick, simple.

 

[Rici]

If you have braces, "orthodontist appointments" works wonders.

Those also work if you don't have braces, you could always say you need to go there for a check-up.

 

[Sargent_Peach]

Driving family to surgery always seems good to me. I always hated using family deaths, because I would feel awful if it really happened, like it was my fault or something.

With sick, I usually go strep throat, or sinus infection. Strep throat is only if you need to miss at least 3-4 days. Sinus infection 1-2.

I'm actually going to have to use an excuse to go to a tournament this Monday, do you guys have a suggestion, something out of the norm, but believable? Or at least something that I haven't used before.

Church every mondays. For the one tourny I went to I said I went to my dad's for the day. They always question me like they care though. Say you have a dentist appointment that you completely forgot about, they just called you yesterday and it was scheduled awhile in advanced.
