Hey Pandas, What's The Most Unusual Excuse You've Ever Heard Of From Somebody Calling Off Work?

I had one job where we had to give a reason for calling off. However, my union argued and won that if we had the time, our sick leave had to be accepted.

I would call off and tell management I broke my arm or back. When I told them I couldn’t come in because I had explosive diarrhea, management asked me not to give reasons anymore.
