Oct 24 2008Moron Calls In Sick, Busted On Facebook
Kyle Doyle, a 21-year old asshat from Australia, went out one night and got himself good and drunk. And then, like a little pussy, didn't want to go to work the next day. So what did he do? He called his employer and told them he was out due to a "valid medical reason". But then he updated his Facebook profile.
Kyle Doyle is not going to work, f*** it i'm still trashed SICKIE WOO.
Oh man, I want to get trashed SICKIE WOO. I don't even know what it means but damn it sounds like fun. But seriously Kyle, accept my friendship request already.
Hit the jump to read the full exchange between Kyle and HR from when he tried to get his leave processed as a valid sick day.
EXCHANGE WITH HR
HR: Please provide a medical certificate stating a valid reason for your sick leave on Thursday 21st2008.
Kyle: "1 day leave absences do not require a medical certificate as stated in my contract, provided I have stated that I am on leave for medical reasons."
HR: Usually that is the case, as per your contract. However please note that leave during these occasions is only granted for genuine medical reasons. You line manager has determined that your leave was not due to medical reasons and as such we cannot grant leave on this occasion.
Kyle: My leave was due to medical reasons, so you cannot deny leave based on a line manager's discretion, with no proof, please process leave as requested.
HR:I believe the proof that you are after is below (a screen grab of the Facebook page is attached to the email)

I once skipped college and updated my status to "is chilling in the sunshine listening to tunes" and then got a message from one of my associates in class that was written by the teacher, bastards set me up!

I always just say I have explosive diarrhea. No one really asks any questions then.
5. santos - October 24, 2008 4:25 PM
thank god my HR dept has never checked my steam stats on my "sick days"
6. Mcfeely Smackup - October 24, 2008 4:32 PM
What a douchebag. I'd fire him on the spot. Not for taking the day off, not for claiming he was sick, but for pushing it like an arrogant jerk once he was busted.
Also, I'd fire him for working in a call center, that tells me right off the bat that he's a useless turd.

Looks like he's trying to give the zoolander magnum look on his profile pic. What a toolbag.
8. Go Goya - October 24, 2008 4:36 PM
@ 4 - Absolutely spot on. No one ever wants to know more information once you've told them you had to spend all day butt-vomiting.
9. LSDiesel - October 24, 2008 4:38 PM
Also, saying you had to have gerbils surgically removed from your a**hole works wonders too. Trust me.
10. BOOSH - October 24, 2008 4:41 PM
oh the wonders of the interwebs
11. LSDiesel - October 24, 2008 4:43 PM
@9, I would never censor myself so you fail.
Asshole.
12. Mike - October 24, 2008 4:44 PM
more proof that facebook is not good for you.
13. Daisy - October 24, 2008 4:58 PM
Fake!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell because the shadows are all wrong.
This story is lifted right out of an implied sub-plot from the Movie Never Back Down.
14. DarkRowan - October 24, 2008 5:06 PM
More reasons I do not put coworkers on personal social sites. "Nuts and Gum" is my usual feeling about doing this.
15. Jo Mama - October 24, 2008 5:09 PM
God job Daisy, got famous but didn't let it go to your head and slack off. Keep on keepin' on all the way off the side of that cliff.
16. chaz - October 24, 2008 5:15 PM
that's dumb. what does it matter? sick is sick, whether it's from drinking too much or you have a cold. why would they want him at work anyway?
17. claire - October 24, 2008 5:28 PM
I think "trashed SICKIE WOO" is when you get really wasted, then make a statement that is morally wrong or disgusting (like, "I f***ed my cousin last night!"), then giving your friend a hi-five and saying "WOO!"
18. DrNecropolis - October 24, 2008 5:39 PM
Why the f*** would you update your facebook to say you're taking the day off?
On a different note, I self medicate with Fightingcock Whisky all the time, so technically being hungover/shitfaced is a perfectly legitimate medical excuse in my book. And as I always say coming into work smashed is a clear sign you're willing to show up matter what!
19. CaptainMorgan - October 24, 2008 6:04 PM
Dude is a total retard. Would someone please photoshop a helmet on to his picture? Maybe an orange vest and a "Participation" ribbon?
I would have fired this guy so fast. Kids today....just getting stupider.
20. Thumperchica - October 24, 2008 6:09 PM
There is a clear difference between catching the flu and choosing to drink your mediocre self into oblivion. If you have to work the next day, either lay off the booze, or grab a Monster + alka-seltzer and get your sorry ass to work.
-If you are going to do it anyways, wtf would you update your page to say so?
What an idiot...
21. Baha - October 24, 2008 6:32 PM
SICKIE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
22. blp - October 24, 2008 6:34 PM
I f***ing hate facebook. If I could hack websites I'd shut it down. Damn sister comes over using my PC for 4 hours at a time on that site. Anyone who regularly uses facebook is an attention seeking loser. I bet Daisy is on it all day talking about Never Back Down..bitch!
23. strormy - October 24, 2008 7:02 PM
DOYLE RULES!!!!
24. Kim - October 24, 2008 7:26 PM
A sickie is a day off work when you're not legitimately sick.
Aussie: SICKIE WOO!
American: I'm getting paid to sit at home, woohoo!
25. Nikky Raney - October 24, 2008 9:25 PM
Daisy -- you ruined it. I was actually enjoying this.
26. Nikky Raney - October 24, 2008 9:27 PM
Just kidding, went to the actual website.
That's pretty insane; I didn't know that facebook statuses could be used as such evidence.
What next?
Are facebook messages going to be able to be used in court?...
If e-mails aren't then why facebook messages?
Who is to say someone didn't just go on his account and write that to get him in trouble,
hey, always have to look at things from both sides.
27. Amy - October 25, 2008 12:40 PM
I dunno, I figure anyone who's dumb enough to call in sick then post that on your Facebook of all things deserves to get caught.
SICKIE WOO!
28. Gotham - October 25, 2008 1:42 PM
dumb job anyway
29. Starwin - October 25, 2008 1:49 PM
All the above 27 F***ers out there,
would go to such a great length to
simply discuss a sickie woo.
If I'm going to be the Sickiest Wooiest of
this list of Sickie Woos, Let it end here.
The next MF out here's got to
beat me by being the 29th.
30. Amy - October 25, 2008 10:51 PM
You mean by being you, number 29?
31. Biscuits090 - October 26, 2008 3:48 AM
@30
LOL.
32. Jeff W. - October 26, 2008 1:18 PM
I love reading about stupid people.
33. Adra - October 26, 2008 3:10 PM
Lol look at the dudes face! No way he has a job where people get to see him. Why would you put a profile pic of yaself up looking greasy, angry, sad, and squinting in one eye?
Gx
34. Doubley Ontondre - October 26, 2008 7:05 PM
Fake (according to his mum http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24549798-421,00.html ), although I wouldn't have been suprised if it was real. Also the photo supplied looks nothing like facebook, unless there's some custom skin I haven't seen or something.
35. Amy - October 26, 2008 7:16 PM
Really, Onto? That's what my facebook looks like. :/ And of COURSE the mum would defend her kid. I mean sheesh, he's a grown man and working a crappy job at a call center, she's clinging onto any warped, glorified perception of her failure of a son that she can.
36. Adra - October 26, 2008 10:07 PM
Thats not fair Amy. It may be she never dreamed he would hit the dizzy hights of the call centre workforce. I once had a friend who had a dream of working in a call centre.....but then i had a dream about being a frog so guess that proves nothing. If she is ashamed of her son it should be for his off centre squint...bad DNA in that one....

37. ffsdfs - October 27, 2008 12:13 PM
when u're sick it doesnt mean u can't go online surfing. it depends on what kind of sickness u're having dude. no one ever tells u that u can't get a MC unless u're freaking sick with no legs and have to be on the bed 24/7... wtf
38. marque - October 28, 2008 7:37 AM
a sickie in australian is a day off work when your not sick.. we have other make believe words like smoko which means a break for a ciggarette for no reason..
love and sunshine your australian fan.
39. mavis - November 21, 2008 11:20 PM
smart.
40. Koda - January 22, 2009 3:43 PM
JOBS NEED TO STAY OFF OF FACEBOOK, THEY DONT KNOW IF IT IS EVEN THE PERSON.. THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL

I don't really know, but is the following quote:
"Fake!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell because the shadows are all wrong.
some kind of internet joke? I see that all over the place when it doesn't make any sense.
42. HK - September 18, 2009 11:31 PM
I see his political view is "liberal." That says a lot about his work ethic. Not to bright either. Pretty typical to be trying to get one over on someone. What an @$$bag.
43. Chloe - April 15, 2010 8:18 AM
ok 1. a sickie is to have a sick day off work with out being sick (to chuck a sickie) 2. the woo is just expressing excitment like woohoo and 3. to get or be trashed is to be very very drunk. Come to Australia and you shall learn children.
