Woman sends edited photo of ‘nail in tyre’ to escape work, has social media in splits
While the original got plenty of laughs on the social media, others helpfully posted images of what tyres punctured by nails actually look like. Then came other photoshopped images.
The co-worker sharing the image online asked people to zoom in to see what had happened, but Tweeple said it was evident even from just one glance.
A woman’s attempt to convince her boss that she couldn’t get in to work because she had a flat tyre ended badly, with the image making her a laughing stock on social media.
The attempt backfired because neither the wheel nor the nail in the picture looked authentic. It sparked theories on social media that the woman was in such a rush that she took the first images of a tyre and a nail that she found on the internet and put them together.
A co-worker of the woman shared the image on Twitter:
my coworker called in (yet again) and said she had a nail on her tire that caused her to have a flat. i need everyone to stop what they’re doing and ZOOM IN TO THE NAIL IN THE PICTURE SHE SENT MY BOSS pic.twitter.com/4NcJGuvF4F

Nailed it.😏
