    Depends on your boss, I had one who was sound and I told him that I was getting the ride and he said 'Pin your ears back son! see you later'

    Nope, tripple AIDS is. If you have AIDS, you can catch it again and get double AIDS which will cancel itself out and leave you healthy. Get it again - Tripple AIDS - and there's no cure.

    Tell them you've got the runs-they won't ask too many questions then.
    I've never been found out,but my mam rang in sick for a few days, and was spotted by her boss in the audience of The Late Late Show :)

    I once told my teacher that I wouldn't be in school the next day because I had to go and buy a water gun. I was about 7.

    I got my gun:cool:

    The most stupid lie for not going to an exam in my first year in UCD was " Sorry I couldn't go in....Em...I had a "touch" of em... meningitis!!!! I don't know why I said that!!! The words just fell out my mouth.... I was caught!

    In fairness, it was pretty stupid of her to go to the recording of one of the nation's most watched television shows.

    Nah her manager saw the funny side of it. She had been genuinely sick but had taken a couple of extra days sick to 'recover'. She tried to deny it was her at first but apparantly the camera kept zooming into her section of the audience :)

    My weak spot is that if I go into detail, I ramble and sounds fake.

    A simple I feel sick/awful is always the best.

    She'd waited years to get tickets-wasn't gonna let an insignificent thing like work stop her from going :D

    I suppose the worse would be ringing saying you are fine and dont want to go in.

    feckin terrible but, i rang in sick one day and said i had been in a small car accident, that i was fine but needed to be checked out in hospital.

    couple of weeks later, used the same excuse, "you're not gonna believe this but...."

    didn't get caught, well, i didn't get sacked anyway!

    I remember hearing that a colleague say they couldn't come in because they'd lost their glasses. That was classic.
