My brother had the day off work as sick today due to an accident last night.He burnt his arm on a naked light bulb whilst up in his loft last night....no comment necessary on that mistake, lol. ......Over night it turned 'nasty' so he went to the local A&E and as it wasn't an emergency ended up with quite a wait, and the day off work. .....It got me wondering, whats the funniest excuse you have given/heard of for having time off as 'sick' ....(by the way, my brother is ok, just sore and feeling very silly!!)

One of my friends broke her ankle standing up after dinner. Off a normal chair as well, not a really high one! Still no idea how she managed it!

its quite common to see patients in our local A/E,that have piles,but when the doc goes to give them a cert,the majority plead with the doc,to put some other ailment...there really seems to be a social stigma in having piles lol. bryan.

I once had a colleague who was off work for three days and when he came back he said he'd been stuck in a lift!! We later discovered he grew his own Cannabis in his flat - LOL! Think he was hallucinating about the lift? Lynne

I was driving to work with a man on a motor bike in front of me. We came to a large round about heavy with traffic . I was keeping one eye on the traffic to my right and one eye on the motorbike in front - he edged forward as if he was about to go straight over , so I still with my eyes on the traffice to the right I saw a gap and edged forward BUMP the motorbike hadn't gone and I knowcked him off. I felt terrible and just burst out crying - he was ok and very good about it. Anyway no damage and off he went . I drove all the way to work . walked into my office was very sick and was driven home again lol. Later that day a bunch of flowers arrived from the poor man who I knocked off his bike .... bless him and it was MY FAULT.
