    i never call in sick, i usually go in, and then beg to be let go home again.

    worst excuse I have heard is (day after staff party, which manager didn't attent)
    Worker: "hey X, sorry I wont be able to come in today, I don't feel well"
    Manager: "oh, I'm sorry to hear that Y, its strange that your not feeling well, in the photos from last night you fine"

    caught rotten, idiot

    I used to go out with a girl who lived with my then-manager.

    Once, I was out in town with her, and myself, her and her friend stumbled into her house at about 6AM, completely pissed. I fully intended on going to work at 10.30 the next morning, as she kept confirming loudly right outside the manager's bedroom door.

    The next morning, slightly worse for wear, I call in sick. Guess who answered the call . . .

    Sounds like a brothel.

    I heard a story about a friend of a friend who had 3 or 4 grandmothers die on him.

    Was it Stephen Ireland??

    once on a night out my work-mate dave, he rang in to one of the residential units at about 3a.m to the night staff saying he wouldn't be in tomorrow cos he had migraine, completly pissed.

    He was so pissed that he forgot he had rang in and turned up for work at 8 only to be told that he called in sick. Ha

    Another time he called in sick and was seen by the C.N.M, who was driving into work, walking back from the house party with a guitar strapped on his back!

    Yes he is a legend:D

    But I didn't explain how I lost my glasses. I just explained how it would be difficult for me to get to work without them.

    Next time tell them that your guide dog was stolen.

    be honest folks 90% of all irish sick days are alcohol or hangover related.
    (except maternity)

    ask yourself over the years when u rang in sick was booze /hangover involved or was it a genuine affliction.

    It wasn't the booze's fault, it was the waking up.

    Yeah, having a really bad hangover is said to be the same feeling as someone who is really dying of thirst.....so when you say your dying....its not really a lie...is it?:o
