One morning, about an hour before I had to start work, I got a call from a co-worker. Apparently he was over the border in Quebec, had been drinking all night, got ditched by his friends and was now stranded. He called to ask me to tell the boss that he couldn't make it into work. I asked why he couldn't call him himself, and he said he was using his last quarter to call me... whatever. I told him I'd pass the message on.
When I got into work I told the boss about my phone call, and why the guy wouldn't be in today. He wasn't very pleased.
The next morning, the guy showed up, and the boss called him into the office. When asked where he was yesterday, he said something about a friend in the hospital or something, the boss called bullshit on him and fired him.
We had another guy who didn't show up for two days because he was hiding from people he owed money to.
