When I had a job in an office about 10 years ago a girl phoned in to say she wasn't coming to work that day because she had been shot. She rolled in next day with sunburn and no holes!
Gas leak
Burst pipe
Power cut
Witness at court
Found a lost dog
Bad back
Sprained wrist
Migraine
Locked in house
The list is endless if you think about it!
Oh, just remembered this one. Got locked in overnight in a club toilet!!
OUTRAGEOUS (and english isn't my first language) lol.
Any wonder immigrants are the preferred employee choices ?
A friend of mine sacked a brit woman who turned up and asked could she have a sleep as she had a hangover. He replaced her with a non briitish employee.
Hahahahahaha, Oh god.
The best one I've ever said was in college, Me and a friend had a theory that the receptionist didn't care at all about what anyone said and just replied "Yes""Ok""Bye" and I was ill about a week after having the convo so when I was calling college I tested said theory."Hello, I'm not coming in today. I don't feel well.""What's your student ID?"
*Gives number*"Ok, What's wrong?""I have Necrotizing fasciitis.""Oh, Sounds nasty. Ok! Get well soon! Bye."
