Has anyone else ever been to the doctor without being sick just so they could have an excuse for missing work?

Fuckin' same. I've got a vacation coming up at the end of the month and last time I took time off I spent half of it dealing with tech support because everyone else is a fucking idiot.

It was only once, but it was because I was late, and I knew they would fire me unless I had an excuse. It wasn't the emergency room or anything. It was a small doctor's office and there was only one other person in there. They went back before I did.

I used to do that when I was in school. I used to tell my parents "Hey. I'm sick. I can't go to school." They would take me to the doctor and scold me because I was fine. I can't do that as an adult though. I need all the money/overtime from work that I can get. Plus, medical bills are way too expensive and I don't have any insurance.
