"i'm sick...i can't come into work"....
.....from one of my warehouse guys who called in sick mid week for one day. who gets sick for one day and returns the next day looking just fine? he doesn't drink so he wasn't hung over and it wasn't food poisoning. if one says "look, i'm having a bit of a personal problem and i need a day off" then i'm totally ok with that. i get that females might be genuinely ill for a day but not males.

@beermeplease yes but even with that he is a man and knows better, that also sets a bad example for the rest of the gang

@Hanginginthere true...but the rest of the gang are all long term workers as well. it's not a very large company. if any one of those guys decides to leave it makes it really difficult to replace them. for the most part they are there pretty well every day and work hard...and they are not young and the work can be quite physical. lately when we've hired younger workers they end up quitting or dismissed within a month. so i am totally ok if they need a day off. they don't need to say they are sick.

@beermeplease I had a guy last year call in fake sick with COVID when he was having some mental health problems. I'd have respected him more if he had just been honest.

@ImpeccablyImperfect I love it when they confirm that you made the right decision by breaking up with them.

It’s been awhile since I’ve caught anyone in an obvious lie.
But a few years ago, while I was visiting my parents and washed the clothes I’d brought, my favorite tee shirt disappeared. I asked my youngest sister (who lived there) if she’d seen it. She said she hadn’t, and I returned home.
Our middle sister, who was also visiting, heard me ask, and a few days later she saw Baby sis [b]wearing[/b] the shirt. She made her take it off, and on the way back to her house she brought it to me. Baby sis smoked back then and the shirt smelled of cigs. She claimed she’d "zoned out", but it was a dumb lie. 🙄

@LordShadowfire oh, I didn’t even [i]think[/i] of this place when I answered….if we’re including this place then I suppose I’d have been lied to just about every day! I just don’t know it yet 😉
