If you really are sick, don't come to work and spread your germs around the office. But if you just want to stay home, go with, "I'm running a fever," rather than one of these ridiculous excuses.

 

1. I just put a casserole in the oven.

 

2. My plastic surgery needed some "tweaking" to get it just right.

 

3. I was sitting in the bathroom and my feet and legs fell asleep. When I stood up, I fell and broke my ankle.

 

4. I had been at the casino all weekend and still had money left to play with on Monday morning.

 

5. I woke up in a good mood and didn't want to ruin it.

 

6. I had a "lucky night" and didn't know where I was.

 

7. I got stuck in the blood pressure machine at the grocery store and couldn't get out.

 

8. I had a gall¹ stone I wanted to heal holistically².

 

9. I caught my uniform on fire by putting it in the microwave to dry.

 

10. I accidentally got on a plane.
