Woman mocked for Photoshop fail after claiming nail burst tyre

A woman has left social media users in hysterics after sharing her co-worker's excuse for being late to work online. 

Twitter user Sydney Whitson, from Oklahoma, posted the photograph her anonymous colleague sent to their boss of a dubious-looking nail in a tyre. 

Alongside the image, Sydney penned: 'My co-worker 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 into the nail in the picture she sent to my boss.'

Other social media users couldn't believe the story, and pointed out it looked like a poorly edited picture using an emoji of a nail, with one user questioning why the employee didn't simply use a real picture of a flat tire.

Many could hardly contain their hysterics over the post, with one teasing: 'Hope she isn't a member of your graphics or marketing team.'

One excited user asked: 'Bruh why did she take time to badly edit a emoji nail in her tire instead of getting a realistic looking picture off of Google if he asked for a picture? A prime example of work smarter, not harder.' 

A third mocked: 'Before she picks up her last check, after being fired, tell her to scroll down, closer to the bottom of the Google results page, or even screenshot a pic from Pinterest, for more believable proof.' 

The picture sparked thousands of likes and comments with many users mocking the woman's unrealistic photo 

'Lol. I mean. She literally could of just googled an image of a real tire with a nail in it. It would've been a lot less work', agreed another. 

Others felt that the employee shouldn't be going to such drastic efforts to avoid work, with one writing: 'If people need to send photo evidence of why they are off work there is a problem to begin with.' 

Another wrote: 'If this is true, seems like she basically quit. Also if this is true: your boss is really unprofessional.'

However, some users were sympathetic of the woman's plight and even offered up photos of their own flat tyres for the next time she wanted to phone in sick.  

Sydney suggested she was in shock over the image, which she said had been sent to her boss by an anonymous co-worker

'Just use this one next time lol. You're welcome courtesy of Northside Drive lol,' said one. 

Another added: 'I legit don't even know what happened here. I just heard a weird noise and then this happened.'

A third wrote: 'Adding to the thread: if anybody needs this picture for work or something feel free to use it :) a truck wheel weight busted my tire over the summer'.

Other social media users were divided over the post, with some suggesting the boss was unprofessional for sharing the story in the first place

Some users felt that the boss was 'unprofessional' for sharing the story in the first place. 

One angry user fumed: 'Stop telling her business.'

Another commented: 'Mind your own business. Your boss shouldn't be discussing the employee with you.'
