What is the best non conventional excuse you have ever used or heard to get out of work for a day. Not I'm sick or my mom died, something unique.

Real Example - "Hey Mike this is Jack, I can't come in today, I got sprayed by a skunk waking to my car this morning".

It was almost true, I went to my car, there was a skunk playing around it. I almost stepped on it, it didn't spray me but I wasn't about to make him leave. So I was going to be late if I went in, then I got an idea 💡.

Your turn anon!

If I might adjust the prompt to share an actual story:

Once as a teenager I got a call from a coworker telling me "Don't come into work, some lady drove though the front door"

I thought he was screwing with me.

Nope, some lady had diesel runaway at the business next door. Hopped the curb and crashed into our front door. (So I was later told.)

I later saw that coworker at the mall.

I work with a bunch of construction types heard it all. just yesterday we talked about a guy with the skunk excuse yesterday. I haven't heard a normal excuse in a long time. A normal excuse would be refreshing 😂 .
