An excuse I heard from a colleague once was that he couldn't come in to work because he was locked in his own home and unable to find his keys.
on a joking side...tell them his hands have fallen off, but he is getting better, but on a serious note, a dose of the trots, and projectile vomiting always works for me, i caught it off the kids, well not only do they bring home lovely pictures and homework, but also every bug known to medical science!!!!!!!!!! :shock:
rageing toothache, and must wait at dentist for a free appointment
Hmmmm how about......
1. I won't be in today. My fish is sick and I need to take it to the vet.
2. My neighbor's daughter got a round hair brush stuck in her hair and I need to help her get it out.
3. I won't be in today because I have come down with Spring Fever.
4. I fell off a ladder fixing the roof on my house and I landed on my elbow.
5. Last night in San Francisco I was attacked by a gay guy who didn't like the remarks I made about him and he hit me in the face and broke the windshield of my car with a small bat that I tried to hit him with.
6. I have a head ache.... # 22...actual times someone at work has called in with this excuse!
7. I don't think I'll be in work for awhile. Yesterday I was riding my son's BMX bike and I fell and broke my ankle it two places and I'm in the hospital.
8. I won't be in today. I'm still drunk from last night.
9. I'm not coming in because I need a mental day.
10. Last night we had a party and I woke up with a strange man in my bed!
could just say" how was i surposed to know i should be at work i was asleep" :dry:
Or maybe......
11. My car caught on fire on the way to work so I can't make it in.
12. My car ran out of petrol on the way to work. I was pushing it to a petrol station and I got a stomach hernia and I have to go to the doctors.
13. My cat got ran over by a motorcycle and I need to take it to the vet.
14. My boyfriend hit me over the head with a speaker and I'm kind of messed up.
15. I was stepping down out of my trailer and I missed the step and when I landed on the ground I messed up my back.
16. Called in on Tuesday I won't be able to come to work for the rest of the week. My shrink put me on a depressant pill yesterday and I was up all night wired. I'm in zombieland right now and I don't want to drive in fear of an accident, or run the machines in fear of getting hurt or dismembered. I need the rest of the week off cause my body needs to adjust to the medication. So I need the last three days as vacation days because I've missed too much time already and I can't afford to miss anymore .
17. I won't be in today or Ever Again. I've found a way to earn money by staying at home working on my puter. I'm tired of getting paid for punching a time clock, working my but off on a J.O.B (Just Over Broke) 9 to 5 and retiring with $ 0 in my bank account, forced to live of the Government and taxpayers. If you want to know what I'll be doing, send an email to: Hooray! Freedom at Last!
18. Tom Robbins says: "any one who goes to work everyday... everyday... IS sick! so, 'call in well' to work today!
19. Had to be rushed to hospital for coffee burns on my lap be in tomorrow!
20. I cant come to work today because the council are paving my street and I cant get out!
Use my favorite excuse...........
'I need the day off for a job interview'
Lol silk n Big G, often the last excuse you give I assume... I have heard of someone who went to the trouble of getting their leg put in plaster for a week off work... Maybe a little OTT but better than actually breaking an arm :shock:
I could make up his face but he wasnt up for that one 
:lol: :lol: :lol:
