there was a chick where i work (i say there was because she FINALLY got fired a few weeks ago) who used the following excuses to miss more total days than she worked last year:
--she had strep throat (this went on for quite some time- apparently her tonsils were the issue)
--she had her tonsils out (causing her to call out for the next two weeks, but she went to the beach on vacation with her BF right after the surgery. oh yeah honey, you were really miserable sitting around in the hotel at Myrtle Beach- where did that tan come from?)
--she had a pinched nerve in her back
--she had a car wreck and the car flipped down an embankment and her hand was pinned and she was trapped for a whole night (interestingly, it was raining... why was the window down?)
--she had to have "surgery" oh her hand (interestingly, she wasn't beaten up at all from this accident)
--her husband went psycho at their wedding reception and had to be admitted to the ER and to the Psych unit for eval (yes, this was really true i work at said hospital. was quite the scandal)
--she was admitted to the ER for depression following said husband scandal

for the last month and a half of her employment, she wasn't missing days but was just coming up with really shitty excuses why she had to leave early. like "i'm having an MRI tomorrow at 7am" "oh man i just came down with bad dirreah" "oh im nauseous"

craziest excuse i've ever used.. well, it wasn't a lie really... my HB and I tried Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds and didn't take the husks off.. had a night of exhausting mind blowing heavy tripping and barfing and basically being really really sick (more so than i have ever been in my life but i think some of it was mental). i told work that we had eaten at taco bell the day before and had gotten sick from that. i called them as we were coming down from tripping and hope that i didn't sound too fucked up when i talked to them
