Why I was late"On the way to the station, I got hit by a bat, it almost took my head clean off. Then the machine would not accept my ticket and the guy at the gate didn't think I looked like the photo on my travel card. So I had to go home and get my passport.
Then the train was 45 minutes late to the station because of the dangerous badger threat at Carpenters Park.
When I was on the train it took and hour and a half to get past the biscuit factory because the driver was really fat.
Then there was a delay stopping at the station because the train in front had heard we were coming and decided to play a practical joke with a rubber shoe on the track.
That is why I couldn't get here on time today."
What's your best excuse?

The only plane i've ever missed...was by one month exactly to the minute. Apparently I picked June not July on the fucking website for date of departure (they do look awfully similar).
Upon asking for a discount on the flight I assumed I'd be taking, the response was "we offer discounts upto 2 hours after your flight has departed".
They were even less impressed when I asked them if they could "stretch that period ever-so-slightly to an extra 30 days and 22 hours?".
Wankers.
