OFWTK Best Excuses

[Old frt]

What is the best/weakest excuse you have heard from somebody not turning up for work?
Had one today." Sorry, got to traino and no credit on my multi rider also forgot to take my wallet and any cash, would have rung but no credit on phone"
How do these people survive?

The bloke that called sick on a Thursday starting a long weekend. He did the voice and said he had the flu. I asked, "Didn't you have the fluvax 2 weeks ago? I'm pretty sure you were in front of me."
Him: "Oh yeah, maybe urgh, oh I won't be in"
Me: "Better check it's not HIV, I've heard there was a bad batch of fluvax going around"
Him: "What?!?!"
Me: "See ya next week then."
