That is just one way to call in ill to work If you are ill or if you want to play hooky. Here is a look at some really outlandish and laughable excuses that people have used in the past. There are volumes of wild, stupid, and idiotic excuses, this is just a handful. We take no responsibility if you use any of these and get caught!

Employee had to mow the lawn to avoid a lawsuit from the home owner’s association.

I have to stay home and add him to the stone garden. Might work…who knows.
