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?

Er...I've never been late. One time, I arrived just in time - does that count? I'm one of those people who utterly despises unpunctuality. The only excuse for it is ignorance and laziness. Or a terrible disaster. Don't give me that shit about late buses and trains ... take an earlier one and foresee possible problems for Christ's sake.
I put it to you that most people are quite able to be on time when they really need to: interviews, catching a plane, getting married etc. So when they're not on time, it's because they're a fuck-up. No sympathy at all. The state of society today is down to people being late and disorganised. Sort it out, losers!
