Sometimes you just really need a day off work.

This bloke literally faked his own kidnapping to get one.

Mariusz Kaminski, 36, sent a series of texts to his manager and a female friend, saying he had been bundled into a white BMW by three men. He claimed he owed someone called Kenny £1,500 and had been driven towards a cashpoint. But he said he escaped his captors and had hidden in a hedge for half an hour before walking to a hospital.

ROFL dude 🤣

Police launched an investigation involving two dozen officers before this guy came clean.

His one day off work got him 16 months in prison.

Dedication.
