I was late for an interview, so I rang them and told them that I had a puncture on my car whilst driving there.
I stopped a couple of minutes before getting there and ran my hands over the brake dust on the car wheel.
got to the interview and announced myself saying 'Hi I phoned earlier to let you know about the puncture, can I just wash my hands before we start?'
I got the job as well!

mine were never that exciting, just stuff like "the phone rang as i was leaving the house" or "i got halfway to work and realised I'd left my uniform at home".
But i had a girl working for me who would come up with the most amazing excuses. She once said the police came over to interrogate her about her next door neighbour as he was a serial killer and he'd tortured a woman at home for weeks before murdering her - we live in a village in France and i know the story wasn't true as it everybody would have been talking about it and it would have been the headlines of our local paper!
She also once said that she'd just found out she was pregnant and needed the day off to recover from the shock, then she came in 3 weeks later with red eyes and said she'd miscarried and needed the day off. I knew she was lying and later found out i was right. That was sick, especially as I'd recently miscarried twins and had just fallen pregnant again!

during a storm a power line fell, onto a tree branch and the tree branch was touching my car. I had to wait for the electric company to come out so I could get into my car.
Other than that I've used my kid, stuck in an traffic etc

the classic traffic jam
slept in
alarm did not go off (possibly due to power cut)
my friend once said that the house next door was robbed and the police were interviewing her about it and so this made her late

My guinea pig had a fit and I had to call the emergency vet. Then my long lost relatives from Australia called and I couldn't get off the phone....

When i was younger, i just said to my teacher "i got lost" and they bought it every time for some reason.
In secondary school I used my "the traffic was bloody terrible!"
Luckily, i'm a punctual person now!

Someone wedged my car in from both sides and I couldn't get out of my space.
