give a reason for being late...funniest/creative but most believable wins the 10 pts?

Answer 1

When I lived in the country, I used to claim that a tractor going 10mph was hogging the one-lane road.

When I lived in Baltimore, I used to blame Barry Levinson or John Waters for their film crews & detouring traffic due to their stage sets lol

Answer 2

I was working in a fast food restaurant 3 years ago. I got pretty bad cough for the past few days and I was supposed to work that day (Friday) at 4pm till midnight. I was at my boyfriend's place and then I went to work but I got there like an hour late (pretty bad).. So I tell my boss (and this what exactly happened), "Sir, I am very high at the moment and I got here late today because I drank the whole bottle of cough syrup for my cough and when I get into the bus to work I feel like flying and I ended up just sitting in the bus and 'flying' until the bus driver finally came to me and kick me out of the bus after he realized i've been sitting there for a while and by the time I get off the bus, I was somwhere else so I get into another bus and made it here but still I am 'flying'... I am so sorry for being late but I am ready to work now". To which my boss reply, "Go back home. Come tomorrow. You don't need to work today, but do you still have some cough syrup left because I want some"..

Answer 3

I was on my way out the door, then I got a stomach ache. I think it was the leftover mac salad I had last night. So I was in the bathroom for 10 mins. As I got up and washed my hand, apparently I didn't unload everything, so I was back on the throne. I sat there for a good 20 mins just to be sure that I won't have to go while in transit. Sorry I was late. So what do you want to eat?

Answer 4

Well you see, my dog ate my alarm clock so I woke up late and then your wife didn't have breakfast ready on time. So then as I was driving to meet you a drunk hobo jumped on my windshield and wouldn't get off. So I waited and finally he was distracted by a bright shiny object and left. As I was driving my car decided to take the long way and the traffic lights were mismatched to my arrival which added like 20 minutes to my journey. Then after I got out of the car the wind started blowing against me. And just when I thought nothing else could go wrong I was attacked by rabid IRS agents after my money. Well I beat them off with a tire iron and one of them had a newspaper which I decided to take with me. As I read I found out that my favorite actor got married and I needed some time alone.

Anyways, I'm not late, you're early.

Answer 5

It rained really hard last night and my jeep was parked in a lot of mud. I didn't think it was any big deal, it's a jeep right? but when I tried to unlock the door, the keys fell into the mud. So my friend and I spent an hour slopping around trying to find them. When they finally surfaced we were both so dirty, and I had to go take a shower and change my clothes before I could go anywhere.
So here I am, late.

Answer 6

I had eye trouble.
I couldn't see getting up so early.

Actually, I live on a boat. My cat fell overboard and
I had to wash her and dry her. Then as I was getting off the boat, I dropped my keys into the water. I had to go back, get out of my work clothes put on my wetsuit, dig the scuba gear out of the lazerette and dive for them. It took 1/2 hour of fishing around in the mud till I found them. Then I had to shower again and get dressed. I missed the train and had to wait another 1/2 hour.... Got into the office at about 11:00am. 3 hrs late.

Answer 7

I stopped in the convenience store to get something to drink, and the person behind the counter needed a price check on some gum for the person in front of me.

Answer 8

At first, I really didn't care if I was on time or not, but then I realized, "Oh wait! I do care!" Then when I realized that I do care, I jumped in the shower, got dressed, and did 90mph on the hiway just to get there on time, but by then, it was already too late. Sorry, I tried.
