Default Just found out my coworker called in sick today because he hurt himself with his...

fleshlight. I said bullshit, but they said he was dead serious. I'm thinking that's too crazy to even make up

Doh, DIY fleshlight? Used old rusty cast iron pipe instead of PVC, and it broke? He's going to die.

my coworker who took the call (female) said he used one that was too tight fitting and he hurt himself when he tried to fap too hard...wtf. Still can't believe he would tell her that

She asked him why he would use one of those when he has a girlfriend, his reply was he wanted something quick and his girlfriend wasnt home...

Not when you stick it in the fleshlight.

I suspect it was a thinly veiled dick-size brag. A female coworker picks up the phone so he "captializes" on the opportunity.

maybe he wanted to BS for an off day and has a good sense of humor?
or maybe he has the clap and has to see a doc.

I'm so glad I don't need a reason to take time off as often as I have caused myself to be sick from drinking.

We have a "shame list" where people have to write down the time/date/reason for sick calls. I crossed out sick and wrote down flashlight injury in the reason space

Where the hell do you work. Someone would get fired here for doing something like that

that's a good way for the business to get sued actually.

Incoming sexual harassment lawsuit. The guy who called out sick is lucky.

If I tell a female coworker she looked damn hot in that dress today, I am telling the truth too but I'd still get in trouble for sexual harassment.

This. I've never understood why some people feel like they have to go into ANY detail.

Me: "Won't be in."

OR, if I'm feeling especially generous, "Won't be in. Sick."

Other people, though, feel the need to describe the color and texture of their phlegm, the consistency of their excrement and/or the color/shape/smell of their wound.

Seriously - quit oversharing. You won't be in - it's not the end of the world.

I had a co-worker call in sick because she hurt her back wiggling on the bed trying to get into her jeans.

I hate how my pm or manager asks why I'm off after I say I'm not feeling too good or I'm sick today. Then its followed by just work from home if you can.
