As others have said, it depends on your job and what's going on that day, but in my career, I have left work early just to take my kids to the zoo.
I told my boss I was leaving. He asked me why. I said, "It's a gorgeous summer day, life is short and I'm gonna take my kids to the zoo."
He kinda eyeballed me for a second and then laughed and said "Ok. Have fun!"
And we did.
When 9/11 occurs and you believe your building is being targeted next. When you are on the 46 floor and have a clear flight path right at you.
When a psycho murderer with am assault rifle mass murders people across the street from you (101 California street, San Francisco, 1993)
We worked through that one. But my boss hated his job so much, he said let them kill me.
They've pulled an all-nighter getting things ready for a presentation with a big client, everything is perfect, then the client postpones the meeting at the last minute. Good afternoon, I'm going to bed.
Ok, look, i have about 300 of these. One for almost every day of the week. Lady (no, not me) is always making an excuse to leave early or not come in at all. Does it piss some people off? Sure, but nobody has stopped her yet.
I can't tell you how many times I hoped it was an alien invasion.
Any reason at all. It’s your life, not theirs.
Winning the lottery. Not "acceptable" maybe, but a valid reason nonetheless.
Honestly, it depends on your job.
Some jobs will fire you for taking too long in the restroom.
Those are not good jobs.
At other jobs, nobody will flinch if you send a quick note saying you gotta leave now for personal reasons and just take off.
In Germany, this is acceptable whenever you feel unable to continue your shift (be it due to personal distress or sickness). If you showed up at all, your shift will be paid in full and not counted as sick day or anything if you have to stop it because you have become unable to continue working.
So you can just clock in and go home, and this it fine?
Well, basically yes. You tell your superior that you stop working because you're not feeling well and go home. You can't do that constantly of course, it's gonna get noticed if you're abusing it of course.
Get pooped on by a patient
Somehow I feel this is coming from experience
a patient polar bear that waits quietly for them to take a nap, then poops on them
Shit ma pants
