Thanksgiving should be changed to SUCKSgiving (copyright pending).
Ok, ok, a bit harsh, but not totally uncalled for. My whole beef with this holiday is with the pre-game stuff. If you’re hosting the holiday you go nuts dealing with all the cooking, the setting up, and planning where weird uncle Pete is going to bunk so he doesn’t have to stay in your kid’s room.
Rushing to these titanic turkey feasts ain’t no picnic either. Crawling traffic. Crammed trains and planes. What we all need is just a smidge extra time, and I can get it for you. That is if YOU USE MY BLOODY COUGH TRICK.
What you need…
Red Sharpie Pen
Brown Napkin
Important meeting
What you need to do…
STEP 1: Use the Sharpie to color an intense red blotch on a brown napkin.
STEP 2: During an important early morning, Wednesday meeting, cough at random times.
STEP 3: Start coughing into your red-stained napkin.
STEP 4: After a rather harsh cough display the red stained napkin.
FYI…You probably need to work on a better shocked face than mine.
THE RESULT: Your worried boss will signal you to leave immediately. Grab your things, run out the door and POOF you’ve just begun THANKSGIVING BREAK EARLY.
You’re welcome!
That is brilliant until the CDC comes knocking at your door to investigate you for ebola.
ReplyDeleteLOL I got to do this in school so I can get an early thanks giving break
ReplyDeletegood idea, although i can't miss any work lol, i don't get sick days
ReplyDeletehaha i wanna try this
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tips.
ReplyDeleteThis seems awfully close to another trick you've used to get out of work. Are you sure they're not going to start getting suspicious of all these incidents? Or worse, possibly call in specialists?
ReplyDeletehahahaha, that's very creative. I wish had been used that trick when I was working at a gas station in graveyard ;_; and I worked in Christmas....
ReplyDeleteIf only I can do that with school...

Like TS, I'm a bit skeptical. I believe you pulled this one before. Your boss must be awfully gullible. xo
ReplyDeleteThat was a slightly different trick that involved volunteering to leave the office to pick up beer for a happy hour party. And then having to deal with a fake credit card mishap.
ReplyDeleteAnd also a not very intelligent boss...
ReplyDeleteThis could work with the addition of some realistic weathering and detail work. As it is, it's not very convincing.
ReplyDeletegreat idea for getting time off work!
ReplyDeleteI like it. I think it should work.
ReplyDeletehaha! is it contagious? :p
ReplyDeleteMy whole beef with the holiday is there is no beef! Fuck turkey!
ReplyDeleteMay or may not work based on the business you work for. Some companies will require full health inspections by personal and professional healthcare administrators before allowing re-entrance to your place of work after a display like that.
ReplyDeletewtfamireading lol
ReplyDeletelol, very cunning! Ican imagine me doing this to get out of stuff
ReplyDeleteThank you for the blog of the day button! YOU RULE! I am going to try the bloody cough trick in my next meeting...I may pass out seeing it though, I don't like blood even if it is fake
ReplyDeleteyou made me think about it..
ReplyDeleteThat is a good one to pull on your boss. I liked that so much I am still grinning. You're speaking my language. ;)
ReplyDeleteNice. I already have the cough...now I just need to find a stray red Sharpie floating around somewhere in the clinic.
ReplyDeleteYou should get a Nobel Prize for this!!!
ReplyDelete;}
Haha- that's awesome. GL to anyone trying this. :)
ReplyDeleteFollowing.
Hahah, sweet trick. I'm interested in what other things I can learn from you. Following.
ReplyDeletesiiiiiiick prank! this will be a great excuse! lol
ReplyDeleteI used to do a coughing trick that involved a handful of tiny plastic Halloween spiders. Also very effective!
ReplyDeletePS That's what ya get for having long-time, loyal followers. xo
ReplyDeleteAwesome... I love it!
ReplyDeleteI might use it one day :D
ReplyDeletehaha, does it work on family?
ReplyDeleteGood thing we do not celebrate that day in my country xD
ReplyDeleteThis blog was recommended to me, and from what I see I like. Following.
ReplyDeletealways enjoy reading your posts
ReplyDeleteI love it...for better effect, make sure you're sitting beside someone you don't like ;0)
ReplyDeleteI think my boss read this post, I couldn't find any red sharpies anywhere :( fml
ReplyDeleteFirst time visitor ... I usually sneeze into my hand, then show my boss all the ooey gooey ickiness dripping down between my fingers. Works for me.
ReplyDeletedon't stop posting!
ReplyDeleteI would just claim to be contagious and cough on everyone. It's worked for me in the past.
ReplyDeleteI love traffic!
ReplyDeleteFinally! I can say I've been around long enough to remember that there was a similar trick you pulled once before! Now honestly, I have to say THAT time, I was shocked beyond belief. Nothing shocks me anymore. Ok - scratch that. Some things still do....you're not predictable enough yet! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! I might have to use this one on Thursday.
