Local man googles “photo of positive RAT test” as perfect excuse to avoid Xmas lunch with the in-laws
December 24, 2024
HOME & HOSED: A Sydney man is resorting to fraudulent tactics to avoid Christmas with his in-laws.
“I went last year and it was just too punishing,” says Raymond Cross.
“So I’m telling them all, including my wife, that I have covid.”
The 31 year old told DBT he’s been planning this for weeks.
“Last year I tried telling my in-laws I have a badly sprained ankle, but they said to still come and just rest on their couch.”
“But nobody questions the spicy cough, so I think I’m home and hosed.”
The only downside, he’ll have to keep up the charade for at least a few days, so his wife doesn’t catch on.
“Honestly if i get to avoid Christmas lunch, I’d be happy to keep up this charade for a year.”
