We’ve all thought of creative ways to take a day off, but this guy takes the cake. In a tweet that went viral with over 150,000 likes and 28,000 retweets, Twitter user @PapaBoardslide revealed that he once Photoshopped a flat tyre on to his car just to get out of work. He also described it as the “proudest moment” of his life.
What makes it funnier is that the shadow of the lug wrench in the Photoshopped image is “floating”, and the user also changed the hubcap of the original tyre. Somehow, he seems to have gotten away with all of it.
Replies poured in to the tweet, with some users describing the idea as “genius”, while others opined that the man should be “promoted to CEO”. Check out the tweets below.

If I were the boss I would have said, “Ok well it looks like you’re about to fix it. Just come in later, no prob!”

I used to work two jobs and I photoshopped one of my schedules and sent it to the other so I could have some time off 😂

Once (or twice) in high school I manually typed out my boyfriend’s name and address, taped it over mine on an old report card, then made a new copy on the same blue colored paper so we could both get into a theme park for free with my good grades. 😎

What I often do is every accident I’ve had in my life, I keep all pictures for a day like this. Whenever I want to call off, I just pick one of these pic and send it along. ?
