Man cuts off foot in bid to avoid work

[stevo4264]

Ok I have come up with some really bad excuses for not turning up to work but this one beats them all.

From http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/844...-to-avoid-work


An unemployed Austrian man who feared his jobless benefits would be cut off has sawn off his foot and thrown the remains in a furnace in a bid to render himself ineligible for work.

Hans Url, 56, was due to undergo a medical examination after job centre staff challenged his claim that he was too sick to work, the Daily Mail reports

Mr Url reportedly waited until his wife and son left his home in Mitterlabill, southern Austria, on Monday and placed his leg on a circular saw, severing it above the ankle.

I dunno about the rest of America but I want to earn my money if I don't, the things I buy I don't feel like I own because I didn't earn it, but sadly nobody here is hiring.

Too many kids today want things handed to them.

it's not just kids, it's everybody. no one wants to actually work anymore, everyone thinks they're King or Queen of the castle and deserve everything to be handed to them.

That's a lot of work to avoid work IMO.
