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?

I'm with FrankSpencer and Mr M@ on this oneI know a few people who are habitually late for pretty much everything and the sole reason in nearly all cases is they simply can't be arsed to make sure they arrive on time. I guess they just don't view punctuality as particularly important - even if they're meeting someone in the pub, who then has to stare into a pint for an hour.
Obviously things are different when you're late due to circumstances outside of your control (e.g. accident causing traffic jam) but when you're late because of nothing other than shit time-keeping skills and complacency then I think people have a right to be pissed off!
