I have 100% called in sick from another state just as my friends and I were about to get on a gondola to go up to the top of a mountain.
I was on the phone saying I felt terrible when “NEXT CAR ARRIVING” or something similar blared over a loudspeaker.
“What was that?” they asked. “Oh, just the tv. fake cough”
I've done similar prior to the days of company-issued phones and company messaging platforms. These days, calling in sick is just a teams/slack/whatever message to my lead; no need to sound sick anymore!
