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:
- "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."
- "I've accidentally sent my uniform to the charity shop so need to go and buy it back."
- "My plastic surgery has gone wrong and I need to go and get it fixed."
- "I thought it was a bank holiday today and I'm 500 miles away."
- "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…
