We have taught by our elders that honesty is the best policy. But it’s not the same when you start going to your office, because one cannot be honest every time at work place. At times you just don’t feel like working but you can’t tell it to your employer. And if you do, it might cost you your job. Let us explore some excuses for getting an off from work:-
Down with contagious Flu or cold
You speak to your employer in a low voice and tell him that you are down with cold or a contagious flu, and you do not want to pass on the infection to fellow colleagues. Try convincing him that you are genuinely ill with your pale voice. Speak small sentences and act like speaking is a tough job for you.
Food poisoning
Let your boss know that you are down with food poisoning and spending most of the time in the loo. For sounding more convincing you can also flush while talking which would give him an idea about the situation you are facing, and if he is well convinced he might also give you two days off from work.
Appointment
Depending on whatever suits you, tell your boss that you have an appointment with your CA or your lawyer and so on. You can take an appointment deliberately and take an off, and later inform him about the appointment and say that you forgot to inform before.
Conveyance problem
If you are home is a bit far from your office, at that time you can say that your bike or your car has stopped suddenly on the way. You have to take it to the garage and get it repaired. All of this would take a lot of time and therefore you won’t be able to make it to the office.
Close relative is hospitalized
You can also say that some of your close relative has met with an accident or is ill and there is no one to take care of that person. You will have to take all the responsibility and work out all the formalities of the hospital.
Unbearable Tooth ache
You can probably say that you had pain in your teeth since a week but kept on ignoring as it was bearable. But now the pain is unbearable and can be felt in complete jaw line and brain. Tell him that you anyhow have to go to the doctor for getting this treatment done.
The red army attack is very painful
Women have this evergreen excuse to give at the office. You can tell your manager that you are going through your menstrual cycle and getting unbearable cramps in your stomach. Boss would never argue with you on this topic as menstruation being a taboo topic.
You slipped in the bathroom
Call up your employer and tell him in the most painful voice that you have slipped in the bathroom while taking bath and have sprained your foot or your ankle or your back. Now you have so much pain that you cannot think of going to office.
Now at the end of all this, the most important thing is that you should give the perfect face expressions and voice so as to make it sound right.
