I got a phone call from a staff member & I quickly made the excuse that one of my car tires had been punctured! This gave me more time to get ready for work. :) 2. I used the urine infection trick! 3. This was when I was at college..a few friends and I decided not to go in one day, they all came up with excuse.. And my response to the lecturer was ' I couldn't be bothered to come in' this made her laugh! - this would be nice if it worked in a job.

Lets see, if you live near you family say their car was broken into and you are going to take them t… See moreo the repair shop to fix their window and file a police report, wisdom tooth removal surgery works pretty good for 2-3 days off but its a one time excuse, if you have a bf/husband/kids you can say they pinched a nerve last night and cant move so you need to take them to the doctors and take care of them, you can come into work with an extra pair of ripped pants and near the end of the day if you want to leave early put the pants on and tie a jacket around your pants to cover the exposing rip and go tell your boss you need to go home because your pants snagged onto something and they ripped and if needed show them the rip, if you want to leave early say you feel your breathing becoming more difficult and you left your prescribed inhaler at home and need it before you get an asthma attack, pink eye works for a one day excuse - just mention in an email or call saying you woke up this morning with an itchy pink goopy eye (works best on friday so you have the weekend to "recover"), hmmm im pretty good at this but i hardly miss work. These are excuses ive either used long ago or thought up for future use. The actual one time i was honest this last month i missed work my boss didnt believe me and lectured me about reliability. I told him that my dad was going to jail for 1-2 years and he honestly did just call me the night before and i was pretty torn up about it. He wasnt going to be going until mid month so i wanted to take the day to compose myself and go see my dad and i decided "honesty is the best policy and its always respectable" but not always so dont get so butt hurt about people lying to miss work... Sometimes a day or two is needed for yourself to get back to 100%

this may be just me, but I would be to scared to be jinxed! I would probably use one of these excuse… See mores and then one day when I'm late to work and I absolutely can't miss it'll actually happen.😨
