Ever take a sick day from work because your doctor said the beach would be good for your vitamin D deficiency? Or because you had no clean underwear?

Some of the excuses “may have been true,” said Rosemary Haefner, CareerBuilder’s chief human resources officer. “We highlight [the] shocking ones because they’re wacky and unique. What stands out is that most of them don’t warrant missing any or a full day of work, but the employee chose to divulge the information and request the time off".
