Okay, so this isn't an excuse, but I was about to leave for work and as soon as I open the front door, I notice a lot of bees. I guess someone disrupted their home because they were flying around the area like crazy. After about ten minutes I managed to get to my car, mainly b/c I had a bottle of windex (with vinegar) and I was spraying it around me so they wouldn't sting me. So I was of course late for work, but at least this time, I was a valid excuse.

Bees? Fuck that, I wouldn't leave my house if they were flies. I hate bugs.

I had a good excuse to share, but my dog ate it. *shot*

"Can you tell the teacher I'm sick, can't come."

"Wait, you were raiding the whole last night, right?"

Happened a few times on my class good that I'm not that addicted.

Wafflcakes go here.

I would have stayed up locked with some insecticide even if it was a single bee. God I hate bugs, specially flying ones.

Anyways I used to be late pretty often, but as I always went with a friend to school I blamed him.
... I'm a horrible person...

As my transportation is currently centered on busses, those are their own explanation. If mine's late, I'm late.

...

In any case, ... yeah. The only other excuse I'd ever have is a) being sick, which I am not very often, or b) not waking up.


"I'm sorry, I was considered officially dead when my alarm went off. Does that count?"

It's 25-man, not 20!

Anyways, my excuses are often sick / oversleep or no busses going there sooner, but I'm not really keen on being late. Because it doesn't pay off.

I use traffic as my excuse. Hey, its not my fault I get stuck behind someone who wants to do 40MPH in a 45.

I walk to work, but it's a long walk, so they'll believe me when I blame the bus. Those buses are late often, which is actually why I don't take them to work.

The only real "legit" excuse I might have is being stuck waiting for a train to go by.

For me, it's more of a "Sorry I'm late." "Why are you late?" "I'm here now. Isn't that what matters?"

People want reasons for everything. "I'm gonna have to take a sick day." "What symptoms do you have?" "Sickness. Why does it matter? This is advance notice, not a request. I'm not coming in."

The most valid excuse I have is traffic. My office building is right by the George Washington Bridge of all places, plus I have to take the NJ Turnpike, so the traffic excuse is my best bet.

I also try to keep a good preplanned list of excuses for not coming in on the weekend when my boss asks. For example, my boss asked if I could come in this Saturday or Sunday. Since it's March, I've had the "I have to do my taxes" excuse saved up, so today I used it. And low and behold, this weekend I actually am doing my taxes . Plus, Sunday is Easter, and I of course have plans .

My most valid excuse would have to be sickness.

It's really the only one that I ever use nowadays.

Well I suppose an excuse for me would be the bus as well- I more often take the train than the bus (in combination with the Red Line, which runs often), but a lot of people at school take the train, so they'd know I was lying if I said the train was late Also, it comes in ~45 minutes early, so it'd have to be really late for me to be late to school...

I've stayed home about 3 times this year because I lied about being sick (The only problem with that is that when I go into school the next day I look perfectly fine ). If I didn't do that I wouldn't get any extra days off and sometimes I can really use one when there are long periods without holidays

evie biting meSince I got Evie, she's become my excuse for lateness. She keeps me up all night. She wakes me by biting me. Or scratching me. When I try to get dressed, she is underfoot, or in my pants. When I try to eat breakfast, she wants to play too. When I try to leave, she wants to get out the door.

She is very very cute though, so I forgive the little attack-monster.

I hope though she does grow out of some of the biting soon. Especially the 2am biting that stops me from sleeping.

Oh and the bus does have me routinely late—recently they are frequently too full to pick up passengers and so I get stuck. Or they turn up late. Or they go straight past. Or once the guy got lost. Our bus system is brilliant.

Solution: don't let her in your room at night.

Also one of the main reasons I don't take the bus to work is because they're always late. As much as half an hour.
