Is it normal to feel guilty when calling in sick?

I'm not actually sick. I am completely fine. Now I feel so guilty.
I think I have also missed a lot of work which I will have to catch up on.
Don't think I am ever going to lie and call in sick again. It makes me feel so guilty and down. IIN?

    i dont fell bad untill the day is over and the next morning when i get there and theres all kinds of shit i have to make up but i agree with the american pie thing everyone has done it at some point in time and there shouldnt be any shame in it but if you call in sick too much it makes it look really bad when u accually are sick and call in again lol

    you see....now you people have gone and turned something as american as apple pie into a guilt trip...man this is an art..and you should take pride in the fact that you have sick days to burn...enjoy...b happy...call in sick and have sex with the neighbor all day..or whatever just dont screw with calling in sick when you arent...it is normal and we all have done it...i think you guys that feel bad about it are just beginners and need some more practice...yeah thats it..really hard for me to understand this...AMERICAN PIE,,,NORMAL!!!

    I can't call in sick when I'm not, I always end up feeling like crap and actually feeling sick.

  • I feel guilty when they call me on my days off (which latly is every damn day) and I have to call them back but don't because I slept in way past the message they left me. I can't tell them the truth so I end up looking like an ass. I wish they would stop hassling me. I can't come in on days off because I most likely won't have a car to get there. A day in advance or fucking schedule me!
