that second story sounds an awful lot like the excuses I've thought about giving should I ever get pulled over. Does the officer really want to verify your explosive diarrhea or will they let it heh, slide?
I mean, if she had endometriosis or something like that then maybe yeah she probably wasn't being totes honest but knew no man was going to call her out on it.
No, she just called in sick. If she would have called in sick for the same condition again and again we would have designated her for Family Medical Leave and given her the forms for her doctor to fill out. She just called in sick or didn't call in at all. Even if we would have designated her for FMLA, she would have more than blown through all of her sick time and the unpaid FMLA time as well and still had enough uncovered time to be shown the door.
She was a piece of work. After the hearing she and her friends she brought to the hearing shouted obscenities at us across the parking lot.
I would think as an attractive female you could come up with at least 100 different ways to get out of a ticket before using "explosive diarrhea".
And this is why I always ask what's wrong when they call in (though I manage to fake it to where it sounds like I actually care).
Do you just have "sick time" or do you have PTO?
Do you care what an employees reason is for taking PTO?
I can understand getting ticked about the no show/no call though. I'm just curious if you expect people to make up a reason for taking PTO if they have it available. If I were a manager I personally wouldn't care as long as they called it in, usually get their **** done, and they didn't **** over any one else with their absence.
I mean, haven't you ever thought about that? Like how dedicated is the officer to getting that ticket?
If I were him I might just stand there until you let loose in your pants to prove it. Then maybe I'd let you off with a warning.
Opening for dog talk. Sasha (the late great Basenji) had a graceful running gait like a thoroughbred horse. I would sprint a block with her just to watch her gait. Her son, Simba, on the other hand had the coordination and look of Goofy when he ran. Simba would have made a corgi look look like a sprinter and hurdler.
I'd be tempted to, if I were the cop. But then part of me is like on the off chance they're telling the truth, do I really wish to witness this or do I want to go wait for the next speeder instead?
This is why I always ask. Just because they have sick time now, doesn't they always will. You figure these things out before they become a problem. And by acting like I care, most of the time it builds a relationship with the employee, which is benefitial in all aspects later on.
Well, other than my ticket I got for being on the phone, I don't get tickets. But on the off chance I got one of the few straight female cops if I got pulled over, no, explosive diarrhea wouldn't be my go-to move.
I just hate having to make something up when I really just want to sleep in. Or if I ate too much mexican or drank too much the night before, I really don't want to be THAT honest and tell them I will be in the bathroom most of the day.
I can understand wanting to keep track of the issue though. If it was someone who rarely calls in, I would probably just tell them I don't care what they are doing, just take it.
The habitual sickies don't get the honor of my acting abilities. I usually ask them if they need a ride to the doctor or make them as uncomfortable as I can. If I recognize the number, I also like putting them on hold and checking my E-mail, sometimes making them sit for 5 minutes and then having to call me back.

Riley is a fast son of a *****! At least much faster than you'd think. There's nothing graceful about him, but he's got a burst (corgis are herders, so they have to be to an extent at least).
I guess I'll consider it nice that our time off is just time off. No reason needed. DH has a couple sick days he can use and I think he did for his wisdom teeth.
I don't have kids, so it may not be the best comparison, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong. But being in people management, it's kind of like having 120 kids. If you let even the best behaved kid get away with stuff, eventually they'll continue trying to push the envelope. And those kids talk. If you let Billy get away with something, Susie is going to find out about it and try the same thing. And if she gets called out on it, you're going to have to explain why Billy was allowed to while Susie wasn't without it being favoritism (or discrimination).
