Everyone needs to take a personal day sometimes.

But we're sure that every HR department in the world is Scarlett Fay Archivesprobably sick of the phrase "due to personal reasons" when someone requests the day off. After all, it could mean anything from "my great-aunt died" to "my nails need a fresh coat of polish and I don't want to finish this expense report today."

The internet, of course, has taken this a step further to take a self-deprecating laugh at our best avoidant tendencies.

According to Know Your Meme, Twitter user @samelpan kicked off the round of over-the-top excuses, with this gem of a tweet.

Of course, we all need to take a break from the monotony of daily life and practice self-care — but let's get real here for a second. Everyone is guilty of using unhealthy methods like excessive drinking, shopping sprees, and eating poorly to cope with pressure of adult responsibilities.

So let's switch the script and say that due to personal reasons we will be taking time to check in with a friend. To make art. To eat a vegetable.

And eventually, probably, finish that expense report.
