*Cough* Yeah... I'm too sick to come in today...

[Anxiety.]

Ever faked being ill to get out of a test, or school, or work in general?

I have a funny story about it, I faked being sick, because school's been rough for me lately, and I'd rather not have to deal with a big group of people that hate me. And now the school thinks I have a virus and have told me to stay of school until next week.

Well, actually, everyone has haven't they? I mean, who hasn't skipped school or work would be a better question.

In school (elementary and high school. Haven't been sick often in university)... if I'm sick from say Monday through Thursday and then I'm better (still sick, but well enough to come in) on Friday, I'll take the Friday off

 

[Surf]

Hell yeah!
I did it one day, and got a week off because I faked real well.
Drama lessons FTW!

I didn't need to pretend to be sick, I just wouldn't go into school and when asked why I would reply with a "I don't want to." Seems like a good enough reason to me, seeing as I found school to be generally useless.

 

[Ice Grimm]

Oh yeah! I faked a lot of times this year, over 90 times to be exact lol.... I won't do it next year, I'll do only 50 times or so, drama lessons really FTW

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

Waaaaay more than I should. Like, no-one believes me when I really am sick anymore XD

 

[The Darkest Gale]

yeah fake it a bit here and there
just for general work
I get to sit in bed on the pc all day and get ice cream it ROCKS!

My parents would never let me call in sick for the sake of skipping school. At the same time, I've never had much of a reason to skip school in the first place, so aside from elementary, when being sick actually mattered, i have near perfect attendance.

 

[Swift!]

Yeah, all the time. Everyone I know has done it at some point. :D

 

[Mitchman]

I do so 5 times a year during school actually.

 

[Soul Eater]

Yep, I've attempted it but my mom never fell for it when it came to school. XD She was the type to send me even if I was throwing up. But my dad made her keep me home.

 

[Fantomix]

Oh, it's a family effort. "Mum, I don't want to go to school today." Talk it over. Make some dodgy excuse about some illness the next day, kekekekeke.
However, my two/three week trip to the States plus 6 days of actually being sick, leaves around 7 or 8 that I've faked it so I've got about a 72% attendance rate at the moment so far, lol.

 

[.little monster]

Yes I do. :| I love how I can fake it and get off but if I am actually sick I have to go. It is always like that, so what I usually do is act like I am faking sick when I actually am sick.

 

[Barney.]

I do it alot because school just sucks at the moment.

 

[Black Ice]

I only skip school to do homework that I'm behind on, or if I really am sick >.>

I think I stayed home while perfectly healthy only once or twice this year.

 

[Kazukii]

Nope I've never done it but I'd like to some day :)

 

[MechaTrickster]

I never get sick but i once made myself puke to get out of school for 2 days :). I had a ton of homework though...

 

[RosaSunglasses.]

My m0m Slaps me across the face when i menttion the word sik in front of her lol

 

[ShadowLeader]

Of course. I used to do it so much my mom constantly took me to the hospital. Bu since I had asthma as a kid, I could really pull off a good fake attack.

Never did it to get out of a test before..just to miss school:D

 

[~SilverSoul]

I do it now and then, but sadly I don't need to pretend most of the time. I'm constantly sick and staying home. Staying home when you're feeling 100% perfect and can do anything you want while your parents are at work is perfect though. It's definantly worth missing a test or two.
