I work with people quite a bit and handle a lot of people issues everyday. When it comes to call outs or call offs, i thought I heard all the excuses you can think of. Here's a survey conducted by a respectable people solutions company.
What was lamest you sver heard or what was you're lamest excuse ever?

CareerBuilder released the results of its annual survey of the most outrageous excuses workers gave when calling in sick. Nearly one-thinrd (32 percent) of the workers who participated in the survey said they called in sick when not actually ill. Usually, a person just calls in sick with a tried-and-true excuse along the lines of “something I ate last night isn’t agreeing with me” or “I woke up with a migraine.” But some employers who participated in the survey reported that they received entirely different excuses from employees:

Employee’s false teeth flew out the window while driving down the highway
Employee’s favorite football team lost on Sunday so needed Monday to recover
Employee was quitting smoking and was grouchy
Employee said that someone glued her doors and windows shut so she couldn’t leave the house to come to work
Employee bit her tongue and couldn’t talk
Employee claimed a swarm of bees surrounded his vehicle and he couldn’t make it in
Employee said the chemical in turkey made him fall asleep and he missed his shift
Employee felt like he was so angry he was going to hurt someone if he came in
Employee received a threatening phone call from the electric company and needed to report it to the FBI
Employee needed to finish Christmas shopping
Employee’s fake eye was falling out of its socket
Employee got lost and ended up in another state
Employee couldn’t decide what to wear
