It’s National ‘Sickie Day’ And Here Are The Worst Excuses Ever Given By Employees

Sometimes when it’s cold and dreary, you’re tired or hungover, the last thing you want to do is get up and face a full-day being an adult.

So you can almost understand how February 1^st is the worst day for people to pull a ‘sickie’ from work.

According to The Telegraph, people aren’t even trying to hide their ‘sickie’ tendencies anymore, with some shockingly bad excuses surfacing from a survey on the reason people are taking a self-appointed duvet day.

Analysing some of the worst excuses from a polled public, business advisory firm ELAS listed the five worst excuses for why you haven’t made it into the office:

1. “I’ve accidentally locked myself in the bathroom and I’m having to wait until someone with a key to the house can come round to let me out.”
2. “I’ve accidentally sent my uniform to the charity shop so need to go and buy it back.”
3. “My plastic surgery has gone wrong and I need to go and get it fixed.”
4. “I thought it was a bank holiday today and I’m 500 miles away.”
5. “I missed the stop on my train this morning and can’t get off the train now until London.” – a worker from Glasgow.

Somehow, we don’t think someone needed a national holiday to mark some of these for the *awful* excuses they are…
