    Agreed. When I was a manager, as soon as they started talking about cycles or cramping or anything related to that I was done...

    Stomach virus
    Car repair
    Waiting for Home Repair man (electrician, cable guy, plumber....)

    I'm lucky, when I need a day, I just request one. My boss seldom asks for an excuse.

    I told my boss one day that I couldn't come in because my cat had spontaneously combusted, and I accidentally grabbed a bottle of Bacardi 151 instead of water thus causing a massive fire that burnt my eyebrows off (the cat was unharmed). She let me stay home for such a creative excuse.

    Man, I thought this said best excuses for playing Hockey.......on that note, as a manager, there are a million reasons, just pick one, end of the day if you have PTO, it doesn't really matter what the reason is.

    Diarrhea. It's a can't miss excuse that no one ever questions. Ever. You can even raise the stakes by offering to bring a sample... which might get you two days off.

    water pipe broke in the basement, or the septic/sewer is backed up and you have to get a plumber there.

    on a side note, a guy I worked with had the excuse of "chlamydia of the eye." He went to a strip club, got a lap dance, she shook her bewbies in his face (after it had been somewhere infected), and the rest is history. how'd you like to make that call?

    @OP - I totally agree. As soon as one of my staff members brings that stuff up, I let them go. Another thing is something for their kids....
