of your social life.
We have all done it, 'thrown a sickie' but what excuses do people use (and yes I am looking or inspiration I look like missing what I am sure will be a brilliant social cause i have to work lol)
so what are the best ones you have ever used, or heard, am sure there must be something out there i can use lol

throwing a sickie is for girls....... rolleyes

27 Sep 2007

just dont turn up and when they call you say.....sorry though i had a holiday booked dunno

27 Sep 2007

just say that you have a very personal problem/conditon that youd rather not talk about..... because its very embarrasing..........

27 Sep 2007

if its a bloke just say yeast infection, sure that will work.

Get Naughty to phone up for you, she'll scare the shite out of them and they won't dare question you :giggle:

Mallock always gets me to phone in sick for him.... If he is throwing a sickie I normally say he is being sick and has the squirts :giggle:

Throwing a sickie is pretty boring! The truth would be much more fun. Tell your boss you are going to have a great day out and that you'll have lots of interesting stuff to talk about the next day - and that it will benefit everyone if you have the day off. biggrin

Phone your employers and tell them you died, but you'll be brought back to life later.

When I used to work for a living I`d make a point of going into work if I was really ill!!
Then if I fancied a day off I`d just ring and say I wasn`t feeling well.
Because everybody knew that I was a real stoic who always turned up no matter how ill I was, they never asked what was wrong with me

I've done that as well! Or pretended to be ill at work but insisted on muddling through anyway 'cos i can't possibly let them down! :lol: and like you say, when you really do want a day off, no one thinks badly of you!

If you know you've an event coming up, fake being ill for a few days before, getting worse as the week goes on, then when you call in sick, theyre expecting it wink

:wink: xxj

My boss pulled me in once, pretty annoyed and said he wanted a word with me.
He said, "On Cup Final day you had a day off because your Nan had a bad headache, on Wimbledon Final day you had a day off because your Nan had a dizzy spell and yesterday on the Ashes Final day you had a day off because your Nan was feeling sick. What have you got to say about that?"
"Do you think she's telling lies" I answered!!!!

Other than being in hospital for operations, I haven't had a sick day leave in 6 years! :smug:
I'm a firm believer in "even if you feel like shite in the morning, the day'll get better, if it doesn't you are genuinely k'nakered!"

Not all blokes brew beer you know. rolleyes

Besides since the introduction of dried brewers yeast, the typical infections found in fresh yeast are a thing of the past.
wink

However...back to good excuses...Why lie about your absenteeism?
Tell them you had the day off because you are fed up of working in such a shit place and if they don't like it they can sack you...
Worked for me.
Now I can have as much time off as I want and I never need to make up any more excuses.
:thumbup: lol

The alternative could be to work when you're paid to work and to book holiday for days you don't want to be in! biggrin
