20 Best Excuses for Calling in Sick
By Kate Lorenz, CareerBuilder.com Editor
Think carefully, if you>re debating calling in sick, here
are some of the most unusual excuses workers gave for missing work.
I was sprayed by a skunk.
I tripped over my dog and was knocked unconscious.
My bus broke down and was held up by robbers.
I was arrested as a result of mistaken identity.
I forgot to come back to work after lunch.
I couldn>t find my shoes.
I hurt myself bowling.
I was spit on by a venomous snake.
I totaled my wife>s jeep in a collision with a cow.
A hitman was looking for me.
My curlers burned my hair and I had to go to the hairdresser.
I eloped.
My brain went to sleep and I couldn>t wake it up.
My cat unplugged my alarm clock.
I had to be there for my husband>s grand jury trial.
I had to ship my grandmother>s bones to India.
I forgot what day of the week it was.
Someone slipped drugs in my drink last night.
A tree fell on my car.
My monkey died. |

One of my co-workers actually used the curler excuse.

Ah, yes, curlers, including the hot kind - memory is very faint now.
GAWD the things we>d do for beauty, like sleeping on those darn things.
Some of the girls used to straighten their hair by "wrapping" it. They>d
use a huge roller or a soup or orange juice can (I think it was
something like that) for a bunch of hair on top of their head, then wrap
the rest around their head with bobby pins. I think I tried it to add
much need body.

When Marina was a teenager with below the shoulders length hair, she[/quote]
did the sleep on jumbo rollers thing.
Now, women sometimes ask her about her perm and are amazed when she
tells them she>s never had a perm in her life.
