What excuse did you give for skipping work?
An article from AOL.( edited by me to make it short)
A survey has revealed that 80% of employees have faked an illness to take a day off.
Don't get caught out: 38% of employees have caught a colleague enjoying themselves when they should have been ill. One employee who skived off to watch the football in Germany was pictured on the front page of 'The Sun'.
So what was the excuse you gave? Here are some of the more unusual reasons for not going to work that recruitment consultants have reported:
"My granny died – again"
"I couldn't find a spot to park this morning, so I just went home."
"Oh, you mean it's next Monday I have off!!"
"I had problems with the alarm clock because the budgie sat on it."
"My partner locked me in the house on the way to work. He's got the spare key and I'm too big to climb through the window."
"I need to hide from the paparazzi after my sister sold a kiss-and-tell story about a famous footballer to the tabloids."
"I had a chemical face peel and my face has blistered so badly, I'll scare the customers."
"I've won a competition and have to collect my prize today or it'll be given to someone else."
"As I was eating my Rice Krispies this morning, I swallowed the free toy and it's cut my throat. I am on my way to A and E now, in agony and I will be suing them!"
"I'm not going to be able to come in today. Woke up to some bad news...my gold fish has died. I need the day off to mourn."
"My father's sex change operation is in its last stage and I have been asked to donate a skin graft."
