Here are some of the funniest reasons to be off sick that we have heard:
- My alarm clock is broken so I woke up late. To avoid this happening again, I need to go and buy another one.
- My dog is depressed.
- I have distemper!
- I have a tummy bug (then came rather too much detail). The individual was subsequently spotted in a coffee shop tucking in to cake, just a short while later!
- I have pre-eclampsia (from a man!)
- I’ve stubbed my toe
- I couldn’t find my shoes
- I burnt my mouth on some hot food
- I got out of bed on the wrong side and don’t want to upset anyone, so thought it best to stay home
- I’m the birthing partner for my friend’s horse
- My cockatiel died. This was followed up the followed week with another day of absence to buy a replacement!
- I have to take my mother shopping
