\u00a0\"The<\/p>\n

This list is from Ranker.com and I’ll admit I’ve never heard #16, 18, 21, 22 or #27, and very glad<\/strong><\/span> I never had anyone use #19. \u00a0 \u00a0And aren’t #7 and #12 the same thing? \u00a0In fact #1 is pretty much the same as well.<\/p>\n

I have had some great “sick calls” over the years though. \u00a0In particular:<\/p>\n

—Employee calls in sick but he’s an avid skier and I can literally hear the snow in the background.<\/p>\n

–Employee calls out sick for his day shift, but then shows up at our company Christmas Party that night and is suddenly fine!<\/p>\n

–New employee (teenager) calls out every Saturday for 5 weeks straight. \u00a0Call his house to see how he’s doing and his mom answers and says “Oh, he’s out surfing today.” \u00a0When I explain to her that her son is probably going to be fired for poor attendance, she says “Well, he probably deserves it.”<\/p>\n

and my all-time favorite:<\/p>\n

–Employee calls out sick, then towards the end of the day calls and says “I feel really bad, because I wasn’t really sick and went to the beach. \u00a0I’m sorry I lied to you and just had to tell you the truth.” \u00a0 I’m thinking “Wow, he found his conscience.” \u00a0Next day he shows up to work with a BAD sunburn! \u00a0He knew he’d be busted so decided to minimize the damage by apologizing before he came in. \u00a0Great stuff.<\/p>\n
