A Look Back at the years Best First responders excuses to get out of work for 2013.

Well if your reading this, you made it to 2014. There is no zombie eating your brains or you are not a walker eating someone else’s right now. There was no nuclear attack and power is still on and a giant asteroids didn’t slam into the earth and kills us like the dino’s. So a Big F-U to all the psychics that were quoted  stating these events would happen in 2013.

Now that we got over that, lets look at some real stuff. While we have the Worlds Best First Responders here in NYC who work hard, they also play hard. An insider in the city HR department gave us some inside information. So lets take a look at the top 10 best Excuses to get out of work.

10. My car wont start and I don’t know what’s wrong with it- Called in by a NYPD master mechanic, who repairs police cars.

9.My Pet goldfish is sick and I have to take him to the vet to be euthanized-  Called in by a NYC Animal Control officer, who office is in the same building as the city’s veterinarian.

8-I was exposed to a unknown Substance last night and now I’m sick- investigator for the Center for disease control .

7-I just had my car towed from too many parking tickets-called in by a nyc traffic and ticket agent to her supervisor, who when looked the info up could find no record of this.

6- I Ran out of bullets and need to get some more on Monday-called in by a police officer on a Saturday.

5- A Harlem Fire fighter called in when he heard about the water main brake leaving Harlem without water- Citing it would make no sense for him to go in, as there is no water for fire fighting today.

4- A City nurse took 3 days off for her mothers death- Only problem was this was the fourth time this year.

3- A City Paramedic tried to call in sick with malaria that caused her appendix to rupture that caused her fibroid cysts to act up that caused sepsis shock and induced a Heart Attack with a stroke, only to show up looking fine for her next shift.

2- Ex Mayor Bloomberg tried to call in sick citing he could not get a flight back from Bermuda where he plays golf during a major snow storm- Only problem this billionaire owns his own fleet of luxury private jets.

And the best excuse of 2013

1- A E.M.T. tried to get a day complaining that his pet rock had died, he claimed to have a feeling the death was imminent cause the pet rock had not moved  or eaten in weeks.
