I’m guessing the nail came from a company called Acme, and was put there by some kind of very wily coyote.

Looks like she stole the bad 'shoop off someone else’s website rather than actually attempting to make the fake image herself. A reverse image search turns that pic up on a whole bunch of sites offering tire repair advice, including the one below. Next time Google harder!

Was gonna say, maybe Roger Rabbit was working construction because it looks like a nail from Toontown!

Man, if I was going to be lazy, I’d steal a picture of a real puncture, and if I wanted to fake it convincingly, I’d just cut the end off a nail and stick it between the treads and take a picture.
So lazy and dumb…

“ZOOM IN ON THE NAIL”… yeah! wait what, ignoring the fact that THE WHOLE IMAGE IS VERY CLEARLY A VECTOR ILLUSTRATION?!?

If your boss doesn’t trust you when you say you have a flat tire and will be late to work, then start looking for another job. Or maybe there is a reason he doesn’t trust you?

I also got a flat tire on my way to work this morning:
Actually I didn’t, but this is at least a photograph of a nail in a tire and not a vector illustration. You can google image search it if you wish, but you’ll quickly find that all nails in flat tires look alike.

We used to have this tech who would come late for work… a lot!. Excuses? Two examples: 1) “I couldn’t find my other shoe.” 2) While driving in I saw a dog that looked lost. So I carried it around and knocked on doors in the neighborhood to see who owned it."
He was such a straight-faced compulsive liar about so many other things… even the trivial… the department “joke” that later morphed into the source of anger for many. His union couldn’t/wouldn’t do anything about him even though his “antics” kept him doing his job – that led to others’ work being shut down. It took a general layoff to see him finally go out the door.
Tin Eye shows the oldest instance of the photo from Apr 25, 2018.
Came here for this, was not disappointed.
