Career Builder put a list together that piled up the past 10 years of what the job listing sit called "The Most Unbelievable Excuses for Calling in Sick." It features some hilarious excuses.
One excuse included one person claiming that her windows and doors were glued shut and she couldn't get out. One person said a ghost kept him up all night.
This year's excuses were gathered through a Harris HRS +1.15% Poll that ran from Aug. 11 to Sept. 5, 2014, among 3,000 workers and 2,000 hiring managers. See the complete list in the slide show above and at the end of this post, according to Forbes.com.
Here is the list:
"1. I just put a casserole in the oven.
2. My plastic surgery needed some "tweaking" to get it just right.
3. I was sitting in the bathroom and my feet and legs fell asleep. When I stood up, I fell and broke my ankle.
4. I had been at the casino all weekend and still had money left to play with on Monday morning.
5. I woke up in a good mood and didn't want to ruin it.
6. I had a "lucky night" and didn't know where I was.
7. I got stuck in the blood pressure machine at the grocery store and couldn't get out.
8. I had a gall stone I wanted to heal holistically.
9. I caught my uniform on fire by putting it in the microwave to dry.
10. I accidentally got on a plane."
