Default Work Excuses

What's the worst lie you've told to be excused from work?

I got one of my sisters to phone once to say my granny was really ill and I would have to come home

My grannies had both been dead for along time before that 🙄

Completly off topic but the other day my grandad's 19 year old dog died of old age in the early hours of the morning and by lunchtime of the same day he was on the phone to the council saying they would have to come and fit him new gates on his drive as his dog had wandered out and been knocked down MESS.

Diarrhea

It's embarrassing but it worked. Though having to actually utter that word over the phone to one of your colleagues and the thought of them associating you with shitting every two minutes was scarring. :/

Yeah this, except to my boss. The next time I went into work it's legit all I could think about.

Worst would have to be my auntie dying

Most unbelievable..I have a few (and all are true )

Microwave soup that I was having for a meal an hour before work...a carrot exploded when I opened the microwave door, temporarily blinding me, causing a lot of pain and actually leaving me with a black eye.

A goose bit the back of my knee on way to work and I could not walk without a lot of pain (was working in a busy nightclub so couldn't do shift without moving a lot). **** knows how the bastard caught me in exactly that place..

I will be late as I have to wash my hair was probably the best though. Slight backstory, I fell asleep a few hours before work and a sweet angel child decided to paint my hair with sudocreme and toothpaste...sticking some cornflakes into it for good measure

I kinda wish for those 3 my non-existant aunt just died again each time, as I have never lived any of them down and they really are the random kind of excuses that twats make up. Unfortunately I am the twat that it actually happens to and I am disbelieved

I think the worst I have ever done is pretend to have really bad period pains (I even threw in tears) so I could get sent home to go out with some friends.

I got caught by one of the store managers but he never grassed me up to anyone thank god
