Workers Seek Car-Trouble Excuses Before June 11 World Cup Kickoff
2 articles · Updated · AS USA · Jun 2
June 11’s World Cup start is driving workers to seek ways to miss shifts, with online advice centering on car problems rather than illness.
Reddit users suggested excuses such as a dead battery, flat tire, breakdown, transmission trouble or engine issues — all framed as making travel unsafe or impossible.
Some posts went further, recommending staged proof like deflating a tire for a photo or loosening a battery, while others urged keeping the story simple and infrequent.
Those excuses face a practical hurdle: bosses may ask why employees cannot use ride-share apps, underscoring how major sporting events can translate into workplace absenteeism.
