Gone Fishing: Be Back Never
How important do you think you are? If you were missing would people notice? I think that's a question we've all asked ourselves at one point or another. One man has the answer.
Joaquín García did not show up to work for at least 6 years, maybe even 14. He did nothing between 2007 and 2010. Yet no one noticed him missing and he kept collecting a pay check.
