Most silly/stupid reason you've called in sick for

[Headfake14]

Today..moi...yours truly.

Getting ready to head to ATL for my commute to JFK. I enter my closet at 1845 ready to don my uniform...only to realize I did something earlier in the week I normaly NEVER do. I dropped ALL of my pants of at the cleaners...and didn't pick them up.

so

I have no pants. I usually always keep a pair at home...regardless if it's clean or not, JUST for this very reason. But hey, I had 7 days off. Turns out my memory checked out the second I dropped them off. Now I'll have another 7.

You had to burn a whole week at once?

 

[Freebrd]

I was brushing my teeth with excess vigor one day. My hand slipped and I poked myself in the eye with my thumb. My thumbnail scratched my eyeball and it hurt so bad I couldn't open it for a couple days.

Top that!

Gup

If that is seriously true, thread closed.

To clarify, is this actual events or ridiculous "reasons" given to the crew desk?

Anal Glaucoma

I just can't see my a$$ coming into work today.

 

[Herkdrv]

I woke up one morning and it hurt when I peed

 

[Dude]

Because I do it for sport! It's my time....I earned it. Mine, mine, mine!

I went back to work a little soon after my vasectomy and dealing with a crotch strap proved too much for my rapidly swelling junk. The worst part was explaining to my three 22 year old FA's that their Captain was calling out sick because his nuts were the size of friggin' oranges.

 

[Quimby]

I saw I was flying with a "General Lee" type.

Automatic.

 

[shroomwell]

Anal Glaucoma is the best one. It seems like every time I am planning on leaving or getting furloughed I come down with a horrible case of it.

 

[CaptWidgeon]

i was sick.

 

[skypine69]

Green pusy discharge coming from my anus.

 

[27 driver]

I felt like it.

 

[Headfake14]

Well...it was a 4day that had been shortened to a 2day...

It was the remainder...the 2day that I had to drop. I have 4 days off after this trip.

 

[gangdev]

Explosive diarrhea. The scheduler took me off the trip, no questions asked.

Are there airlines that actually require you to give an excuse for your sick call? At the major I was at (and it is consiedered by some to be the biggest piece of cr@p airline to work for, and I don't dispute that) I never gave an excuse when I called in sick. In fact, I just said I wasn't going to be there at that was it. Why give an excuse??

Typically not because I have to but because I want to see what the scheduler says.... or does... roommate of mine ate White Castle and had retarded diarrhea the next day.... sent one of the scheds. a photo of the destruction and heard them vomit.... two birds and one stone I always say.

You don't give a reason... you just call in.

I had a friend that just "no showed" and told his boss with a straight face that he was abducted by aliens. He was actually in jail and thought that the aliens excuse was better than the truth. It wasn't.
