    Or you could combine both ideas and a few of us could assault your grandmother?

    I'm thinking spiked drink and then fell as a result and broke my fone. I even have the broken fone to show for it.

    Haha what an elaborate story.

    Last week in my workplace a girl came in at 9 and was told she had been rostered for 12 so she went home and at 11.30 rang saying she was sick:D

    Phone.


    And you don't need an excuse... When the boss says "where were you on Friday?" simply reply with "Where were you on friday?" and walk off, tapping your nose with your index finger. He'll get confused and leave you alone.

    Just be honest and tell your boss you couldn't be arsed going in to work. He/she may admire your honesty. If they don't just make a complaint to HR that your boss sexually harrassed you. Problem solved.

    One of the guys in work (who doesn't work there anymore) came up with this gem.

    "My fridge broke at the weekend so I had to use everything in it. I drank a litre of milk and I think it was bad because it had chunks in it. I've been throwing up all morning and won't make it in".

    Tell them that you didn't have the balls to ring in sick and your mother wasn't around to do it for you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 179 ✭✭donmaga1


    You could use the same excuse Chris Rock said in a live DVD. "MY AIDS WAS ACTING UP" :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 510 ✭✭✭gino85

    just go in with your hands up and say you were on the piss on thursday night and didn't wake uptil 5 the next day. if you have a reasonable boss they'll appreciate your honesty. worst they can say is 'don't do it again'

    Or they will sack you!

    Tell your boss you were viciously raped by ninjas. As they are ninjas have a tendency to work the face your boss should understand that you were unable to speak and therefore make a phone call.

    If anybody needs any blank P45s, I've got loads.

    With so many people losing their jobs, I would suggest you be a little more responsible,and stop acting the prick

    I suggest you stop shouting abuse! The OP didn't even explain why he was out of work. People are losing their jobs but it doesn't mean people have to judge those who still have jobs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 491 ✭✭deleriumtremens


    O.P if I could have my way, I'd have you shot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,182 ✭✭✭ronano


    defo

    hangin' is too good for his sort,too good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,950 ✭✭✭nkay1985


    It's definitely got to be the old "I sent [insert appropriate person here] an email over a month ago booking that day off. Did they not get it?" Blame IT for the problem. If it's brought to IT's attention they won't give a sh*t so it won't go any further. Job done.

    Hmm... tough one, why didn't you go in? Why didn't you ring on friday and just say you were sick? I don't know wtf you would say in the morning.
