There are days (weeks?...) when you are really, really not feeling it. Getting out of bed seems like too much work, let alone actually going to your workplace. It requires dressing up, brushing your teeth, or even putting on makeup for some, and you feel like you'll do just about anything to skip the responsibilities of adult life. Luckily, there are really creative people out there who come up with the most elaborate reasons for calling in sick. And as the blues of the dark month of February are starting to hit really hard, it's no wonder that the hashtag #StrangeReasonsToCallOutSick is trending. We, the people at Bored Panda, love our job, though, so we made you a list of the strangest reasons people shared on Twitter to call in sick. Scroll down below to read the list and share *your* strange reason to get you off work.

    Ok, I'm fascinated - what would draw the doe to give birth on a car instead of a grassy nest? Maybe to watch for predators?

    If the sign said "SUFFER" then you must go to office.

    Doesn't Spike Milligan's grave have the words 'I told you I was ill' on the headstone?

    Not funny at all. The Chinese doctor who has been send to jail cause he was the first to report the virus infection, and forced to sign a confession saying he was wrong is now DEAD. This virus killed him as well as a much larger number than the Chinese authorities wants you to believe. His pregnant wife is also sick as well as his 5 years old son. Police is now installing locker on homes with infected people as there is no more rooms in hospital for them. Doctors have order to treat only mild case, the other have just to keep praying. Still funny? (Oh, And I live there in case you wonder. Only one person by household is allow to go out every 3 days to buy food. Restriction on all supplies... Army in the street to enforce it. ) Please come and join the fun to not be able to work and not getting paid.
