Let’s talk Lulu. A free app you can download that actually pulls information from Facebook and rates men on a scale of 1-10. Now as glorious as this sounds…..it’s complete bullshit.

From claiming they need the day to fix some botched plastic surgery to saying they accidentally got on a plane, America’s workers have either had some sitcom-worthy misadventures this year, or they’ve simply gotten more creative with their sick day excuses. A new CareerBuilder survey looks at how many workers have faked being sick this year, as well as some of the strangest excuses they’ve used while doing so.
Over the past year, 28 percent of employees have called in to work sick when they were feeling well, down from 32 percent last year. When asked for a reason, 30 percent said they just didn’t feel like going in to work and 29 percent said they wanted the day to relax. Another 21 percent took the day off to attend a doctor’s appointment and 19 percent wanted to catch up on sleep. Meanwhile, bad weather was enough for 11 percent of employees to take the day off.
