Woman Calls Out Of Work After Sending Her Boss A Laughably Photoshopped Image As Her Excuse
10 January
Flat tires are nothing to laugh at.
They can be scary and a pain in the sit-upon to deal with.
<p>
But if this woman was truly unable to come in to work because of a blown-out tire, well, our heart goes out to her and we hope she got the help she needed.
</p><p>
However, the photo she submitted to her boss showing that a nail was the culprit for her flat tire was highly suspicious.
</p><p>
And now the internet is leaving us in stitches upon closer inspection of the photo.<br>
</p><p>
A co-worker at a dental office threw the woman under the bus by acknowledging she repeatedly calls out and asked viewers to inspect the attached image.

There, in all its glory, is a beautifully rendered image of a phony nail.
