You're sick!
The outrageous excuses people use to pull a sickie
"My plastic surgery has gone wrong and I need to get it fixed," was one of the most outrageous excuses used for not turning up to work.
Another was "I thought it was a bank holiday and I'm 500 miles away.
And one cheeky work-dodger used the excuse "I've accidentally sent my uniform to the charity shop so I need to go and buy it back".
But the majority of people settle for a more gullable excuse to skip work – like the weather, a hangover or a lie-in.
A shocking 69 per cent of the nations workers said they would be tempted to take Monday 2 February off – dubbed National Sickie Day.
Last year an estimated 375,000 people pulled a sickie on that day – costing businesses £34 million in lost productivity according to analysts.
The weather topped the most popular reason for people to stay at home – 38 per cent of the 1,600 people surveyed for The Fine Bedding Company survey saids they've rather have a duvet day when the weather was bad.
It's thought a hangover sickie at this time of year is directly linked to celebrating the end of "dry January".
