1. At her sister’s wedding, an employee chipped her tooth on a mint julep, bent over to spit it out, hit her head on a keg and was knocked unconscious.

2. While at a circus, a tiger urinated on the employee’s ear, causing an ear infection.

3. An employee’s dog wasn’t feeling well, so the employee tasted the dog’s food and then got sick.

4. “Someone put LSD in my salad.”

5. An employee’s roommate locked all his clothes in a shed for spite.

6. “Stuck on an island – canoe floated away.”

7. An employee was upset because his favorite "American Idol" contestant was voted off.

8. “I didn’t think I had to come in if I had time in my vacation bank. I thought I could take it whenever I wanted.”

9. An employee said he wasn’t feeling well and wanted to rest up for the company’s holiday party that night.

10. A groundhog bit the employee’s car tire, causing it to go flat.
 
I got a REALLY bad sunburn once and called in sick. It hurt to wear clothes.:redface:

don't call in sick
call in DRUNK :cool:

Done that this last summer. Was drinking with my boss the night before and I called him in the morning and said "screw it, taking a sick day".

I once called in on April Fools day, told my boss that my cat was stuck in the bathtub.
 
The #1 reason should be: My NSX got rained on! :eek:

tsk. tsk. what's with NSX owners and their phobia of rain? Or is this just a So.Cal thing? :confused: :tongue:
 
lol - i've always told people that..... to say you have diarrhea, and they'll leave you the f alone :wink:

+1 Using the "D" word just seems to send a chill down some bosses spines. Telling them you have an upsert stomach or the stomach flu seems to tone it down and they dont take it too seriously, but if you use the "D" word they usually dont want to hear anything else. :biggrin:

I had to look a couple of times... the is a red streak on the pic that runs from the drivers door off to the right... it ain't blood, it is a flaw in the lens of the camera or a light refraction from somewhere... at first glance it looked like a blood trail..
