I had a carpenter working for me who called in and told me he would not be in because his grandmother died. Just so happend it was the THIRD time his grandmother died.

I knew this guy who was always staying out of work he was a pipe welder....the foreman asked him one day how it was he always worked 3 out of 4 days a week....he grinned and said "Cause I aint figured out how to make it on 2 days yet"

Okay, I am a bit Lactose Intolerant, so this is one is a classic IMO and no one ever questions it...Diarrhea. Works every time! Yes, a bit on the gross side, but it will shut any questioning boss up.

Have to go see my probation officer (it was actually true). Look on my bosses face was priceless. Back in those days, no one asked you if you had ever been arrested on a job app.

After a night of heavy drinking I called in and told my boss I had come down with the "bottle flu".

It was the day after a really bad storm, didnt wanna go in so I called my boss and said that the power was out at my house and all my work stuff was in the washing machine soaking wet (I was like 19, worked in retail so specific color pants and polo were required). Oh and then like 2 days ago one of my crew at my current job called in and said he couldnt come in. I asked why... At a grad party the night before he said the wrong thing and upset his gf, and she proceeded to kick him in the twig and giggle berrys so hard that one went back up inside of and still hadnt come down and the other was swollen to twice its normal size. before you ask he said something about how her pants made her ass look huge.
