6. Grandma broke her leg
Come on grandma! Did you really have to climb those steep stairs in the middle of the night to drink a glass of water? Really?! The old people are like kids. You have to tell them the same thing a dozen of time, and again, they do the same. That glass of water will cause the medical intervention, and that means you’ll have to call your superior and ask for an absence permission. Grandma emergencies rank 6th on our list of real good family emergency excuses to get out of work last minute, and are quite good enough to get your day off and spend it with her in the hospital waiting for the doctor to see that broken leg.
