Being sick excuse #13 - my glasses broke
Okay, so if you do not wear glasses then you will not be able to use this excuse. If you are starting a new job I suggest getting some fake glasses just so that you can use this excuse though.
I wear glasses and this excuse works. The key is to not let people know how bad, or how good, your eyesight is. And you have to wear glasses all the time. If you wear contacts then they will just ask why you can’t come in with your contacts in.
Excuse – My glasses broke and I can’t see without them!
Symptoms -Nothing other than being half blind and having broken glasses - can’t see to drive or anything.
Limitations – You have to wear glasses all the time before trying this one out.
Time – You can get your glasses fixed in a day. That means that the max time you can get out of work is a day. Most eye docs don’t open until 9am and take a lunch hour break. That means it could be sometime after lunch when your glasses are fixed.
Dialogue – All you need to say is “I broke my glasses and I can’t see a thing without them. As soon as the eye doctor opens up I’m getting someone to take me there so I can get them fixed so I will be out today taking care of that.”
Frequency - Realistically you can only get away with this maybe once a year. Unless you act really clumsy at work.
P.S. We think you’d look super cute in one of these shirts.
