Hehe... this question is really asked myself...
Have you ever faked sick?
Hehe... my answer is YES. ahaha. I made excuses because i just dont want to meet the people who irritating me... Its not because i dont like them, its just that im not comfortable enough to with this people and somehow they also irritating me. Let say, some of my classmates, i dont know why they act like funny but actually they are not. Some also like to joke and joke here and there, but actually what they are joking about can be irritated... hmm...
I faked sick because i just want to make distance with these people.
Somehow, i just really want to be alone and dont want to be disturbed by others. Or i have many things to do for tonight.
Most of my major subjects like immunology and serology, mycology and virology, hematology, clinical chemistry and bacteriology are getting difficult and many students in my class also getting hard time. SOme may be out of program and thanks God that im still survive with good grades. Hmmm... Anyway, life will change and you know if you cant capture them as much as you can, then it will leave you alone. Just like Greys anatomy said "be good or be gone". And in this critical time i need to spend my time to survive by study and study.
My friends always asked me to hang out with them... and i said, im sorry i cant join with you. If i said i will have exam and quizes or anything that about my study they will say that im too ambitious. Hello? im sorry, but i cant help that. I even cant help myself, and now you;re joking with me with irritating reason.
So i chose to say "im not good... lets hang out next time? ok?"
"i havent sleep...we had our defense for thesis... etc... etc..."
I have no choice... hello? these subjects only offered once a year, and failing for one of subject would make me waiting the next year...

Actually, in China's history. Many famouse people use this method to attain their objective. It works, but don't always work. One of my favorite historical figures in Ming Dynasty--Liubowen have ever faked sick to leave the royal court. But fail since the emperor were afraid liubowen would betray the dynasty.

Oh really? Most of the famous people they are aristocrat... i think they have clear mind... that better than face the problem, somehow its better to run for it "a while" and not forever.
Faked sick... maybe its not far from being liar... but we cant helped it..
because facing the real problem sometimes will make us to make choice that is also more dangerous than not to face at all...

i fake sick for many reasons. if i don't want to have relations with my boyfriend. if my kids are driving me nuts. if i don't feel like doing the dishes. if i don't feel like doing something or dealing with something, then i play the sick card. i don't use it all the time, then it won't work. but sometimes it comes in handy.

Somehow we just want to be part for some people. Until such time i will be ready to meet this people... Yes, me too also sometimes have a feeling not to deal with something. In my mind, i just want run for things that is not make me comfortable and want to run as much as possible...
But of course i dont lie many times, its just for my personal defense... ahaha.. that im not in the mood to do this thing or that thing...

GUILTY!! 
i faked sick when i was younger cause i didn't want to go to school, and even now i fake sick too! i've faked sick to get out of work and sometimes when i didn't want to go out somewhere with friends, cause telling them you aren't feeling well doesn't hurt their feelings

i don't usually say that i am sick when i am avoiding some people. what i will usually use as an excuse is that i am busy with other things that i can't put off for another day. so i think that is the most easy way to explain it away. cause i think that people will not believe me if i say that i am sick cause it seems to be a poor excuse now cause many people have done it before. and i don't easily get sick and that will harder to believe for them that i got sick so suddenly.
sometimes i am trying to give the real reason. but some people just won't give up and so i have still to make an excuse or a lie for them to stop bugging me.

Even I want to make distance with a lot of people and this I think can be a good excuse. I will surely try out this one whenever I have to miss out something. I have used this thing whenever I have to miss out school or college. Will surely try this one!!! lol!!

Once, it is the time when i want to ask a permission from the offices that i know it's hard to get away from the office 
because of there's only 1% to get permission with true reason so i'm forced to fake sickness ...
If i can get permission easily, i won't lie ...

When I don't want to do something I just tell people flat out I don't want to do something. Why ruin my entire day faking sick? I don't have to worry about failing an exam. I'm past that stage in my life. I faked sick once when I was in school because I needed more time to study. The only thing was I still put off studying. I basically wasted an entire day when I could have been out with friends. I failed anyways.

I think everyone has faked sick at some point in their lives. Whether it was in the early years and you were faking to get out of going to school or if it was pretending you had been throwing up in the bathroom to get your manager to let you go home early from work so that you go kick it with your friends. I personally have faked sick a few times, but mostly when I'm at work because I don't like my job. However, usually just the fact that I'm annoyed by people that I don't like will eventually make me sick and then I don't have to fake it at all...lol.

Yes,I have.If people who I really don't want to associate deeply invited me to join them I always take the sick as excuse.
And I remind once,after I quarrelled with my husband,I realized that it was my fault but I don't want to say sorry first.Then I told him that I didn't feel well and began to cough. Of course,he took care of me softly.And I told him that I faked sick last day.He smiled and said:yes,I know. So stupid I am.hahaha
Just sharing with you.Good luck and happy mylotting.

True, I do too. When i'm not feeling up to it, I would fake it. Work and going out with friends sometimes are a bit too much for me since it has stress inducing activities. I can't elaborate that much but here's what I can tell you, sometimes doing this things would benefit you like what you have done. You are surviving and sad to say some of your classmates could not, perhaps they gave too much time for extra-curricular activities. Everything has it's time, If you can't go out when your studying at school rest assured that after you graduate you will have so much time in your hands.

Hi there! I have faked sick before like when I can't go out with my friends or when I just don't feel like going out with my family. I just wanted to relax and be all by myself.

You are funny! I did faked sick too. I did it so that my mother will notice me. She is the type of ignoring mother. So I did. And it worked.

when i was in high school i put garlic under my arms because they say it makes one's temperature go up. i was getting tired of school. anyway, all i got was a burnt underarm skin in the shape of the garlic.
