8 Great Excuses to Skip Work

5. Met with an accident while coming to work

While on your way to work, you slipped and fell, your car broke down or crashed with another car, your wallet got robbed and you need to file a complaint. Such excuses seem real as you have stated that you were in fact intending to arrive at the workplace but circumstances didn’t let you.

6. Contagious illness

Make an excuse stating that you have contracted a contagious disease like flu, cough, cold or conjunctivitis, which can spread to others if you come to office. The boss will readily tell you to skip the day.

7. Doctors appointment

Saying that you have a doctor’s appointment scheduled for after lunch will help you get a half day successfully without explanations and questions asked.

8. Home related problems

You could make up some home related problems like your water pipe burst and the house is flooded or that your roof or wall crashed and you need to repair it as soon as possible.
