What is the most craziest excuse you have given for calling off sick at work? We want to hear the truth or not in this scenario. I would for me, I said that one time I did have to take my dog to the vet while in the middle of a meeting (true story). She had been throwing up the night prior and so I had no choice.

A former coworker called in sick because his beard was falling off. Found it funny but in hindsight, I wouldn't come to work if my beard just started falling out in bunches all of a sudden. I don't like calling off sick, I once tried to and my supervisor jokingly called my bluff and made me come in. The thing is I actually was flu sick. So I went in anyway and got the whole department sick, yikes.

Wow!!! Beard falling off?? That’s crazy! I don’t like calling off sick either!

My time to shine is finally here 😅 I rolled over in bed one night and felt something in my foot click when I pressed it down on the bed to roll myself over. It was a bit sore, but I didn't think much of it and went to sleep. Woke up, took a step, and almost passed out. The pain was something else. Turned out I had dislocated a bone in my foot. Yup, injured myself rolling over.

Wow!!! Hope you were ok and back to feeling better soon after that!!
