Dude hopes to get out of work - gets photoshopped into long queue

There are countless ways that people have used to get out of work, some hilarious. According to Briefly News reported that most of us know that weddings can get super festive, and by that, we mean people have so much fun they spend the next few days recovering from a mean hangover.

One local guy was chosen as a barman at a wedding and just knew he'd be 'sick' on Monday so he thought he'd be clever and make sure he has a story to feed his boss.

The man then approached a Twitter user to Photoshop him into a line at Home Affairs - we all know those go on forever. However, it didn't quite turn out the way he hoped. Briefly.co.za gathered from the comments on the snap that no one is going to be fooled by it.
