GET THE DAY OFF WORK WITH THE PADDY POWER GAMES SICKIE EXCUSE GENERATOR

We’ve all pulled a sickie before, right? In fact, we did some research and found that a quarter of the population (25%) is likely to phone in sick following England’s performances in the remaining stages of EURO 2024 – with 7% confessing they definitely will.

Providing a convincing excuse for not showing up at work isn’t an easy task, especially if you’re a little bit hungover and your boss knows you’re a massive football fan, so there’s real pressure involved in constructing a believable excuse and more importantly one which doesn’t evoke any further questions.

Maybe that’s why 11% of you stick to tried and tested methods such as having a headache or migraine, being in pain (7%) or the old faithful which requires no follow ups ‘I have diarrhoea’ (5%).

So, if you’re planning on ‘coughing’ down the phone on Monday after the England game and fancy trying a new excuse, look no further.

Give our Sickie Generator a whirl but be warned…we accept no responsibility if your boss doesn’t buy our excuses!
