At the moment, I'm still in school and everyone at work knows it, so I play that up. "I've got to me with my advisor today," "I've got to go get my housing renewal papers notarized," "Have an exam today," etc, etc... But the two worst ones were "I'm helping my brother move out of his apartment today," and "I eat too many chicken wings yesterday, so I really can't leave the house, if you know what I mean...."

I had a job years and years ago that was pretty mellow about it all . I used every excuse under the sun . But some of the best ones ........
Look , I am tired and burned out and if I come in the rest of the week . I will snap and go postal .
I really can't make it in today . You see I am going snowboarding with anthony jason and neil . Yeah none of them thought it was cool I spilled the beans about what really was going on . Like 4 of us calling in wasn't going to raise a flag ?
Hey , I'm not going to be in tomorrow or saturday . I'm half way to arizona to see a music festival .
My trucks broke down . I was calling from the pay phone a block from work . and my boss happened to be driving by at that very time . He pulled up said glad to see its running again see you tomorrow .
The best was when we would be out at the bar and call in and leave messages on the answering machine. 4 guys call in sick on a saturday and we were all calling from the payphone out side of the bar . all with in a few minutes .
Most times if your honest the boss realizes you just need a personal day to recoupe . Sometimes the more outrageous the story is the more likely you are to just get a laugh and a see you tomorrow.

I called in on a friday.
The day before we had sat through a 4 hour seminar about sexual harrasement.
So I called in "horny" because I didn't want to subject the other employees to possible sexual harrasment.

I have to ship corals.

I've used the good ol' fender bender/flat tire gig. also the 24 hr bug is always good every couple months, no one wants someone who is "vomiting and diarrhea-ing all over the work place"

 

[fuerte91]

I really just dont feel like coming in today.
My manager was like ok just make sure you find someone to cover your shift.

I called in once last summer. It was a summer job that I absolutely despised. I called in with a flat tire. That was the first time ever.

"My girlfriend is coming home from a business trip tomorrow morning and I'd like to be home to explain to her why her 14 seahorses are dead instead of her just walking in and wondering where they all went."
"It's snowing really heavy and I fear it won't be safe to drive (180 miles) and I haven't seen my family much in a long time so I'd like to just stay for the night." (I was threatened with being fired so it didn't work)
Not lame, but those are the only excuses for calling in I can remember, besides actually being sick.
