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?

My best friendis always (and I mean, every single fecking time) late when meeting up for a drink with me our other other mutual best mate. He's late meeting his family, meeting other friends, going to lectures/tutorials etc.
Except he's never late to work. He generally gets there 15 mins early, just to make sure he's awake and ready to start.
This pisses me off: he gets to work early, but doesn't respect anyone else, who isn't actually paying him to be there, enough to try to meet them on time. It's now common practise to arrange to meet everyone at 8pm, except for him, who we meet at 7.30. One day he will wise up to this, and we'll have to move it forward to 7.15.
