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?

Sonic broomis quite right. While I'm not claiming to never be late, it annoys me that I have never not made it to work because of weather reasons, despite having a 20 mile drive on rural roads every morning.
On many a snowy day I've made it in to work, yet half of the staff who live in Dundee itself haven't bothered because it was snowing and the bus service was limited or something. They could fucking walk!
Hmm, I seem to be ranting a lot these days. Must be getting old.
