Kind of off topic, but useful tip for the kind of person you're describing: anytime you get a flat tire, go visit someone in the hospital, go to a funeral, etc., take a picture.

This way whenever you want to fake something like that later for work, you can send your boss a confirmation photo to show you're not bullshitting.

Be careful doing that. A lot of phones time stamp pictures with the date even after you send them. So your boss will know when it was taken.
