Floods....worth a try.
What about the you hit a animal and wanted to see if it was ok, you got out of your car and had to look for it.
Your car battery was dead, so you needed to get a new one.
You slipped in the bath and had to check you was ok.
Your house alarm when off and could not switch it off for an hour.
These are just some of the random things my staff try and get by me! I let em off if they can tell a good story most times.

Yesterday someone told me he was to tired to come in because he was up till 2 am because waiting for his mother to get home.
By the way both of these "men" were over 35 ha ha

Here's my top 5
1. My husband took my keys to work by mistake. I'll be there Asap.
2. My kitchen flooded
3. My tires were stolen from my car
4. The electricity was off all night and my alarm didn't go off.
5. I got lost on the way to work.

I told my boss that I got trapped in the bathroom when the door handle fell off so I couldn't even call. I told him I didn't get rescued until my housemate came back from work. It was so daft that he fell for it - although I'd spent the whole day in bed, sleeping off a big night out.

Here are some:
1. Car broke down
2. Alarm didn't go off?
3. Make up a medical problem e.g. was sick, contact lenses playing up
4. Had to take your son/daugher to school
5. Traffic jams
Use your imagination for more!

Try that there was an accident on and you had to take a detour. You could try that my kids broke their arm last night so I needed to get a baby-sitter for him/her and the babysitter came late. You could say I had a family emergancy last night but that's pushing it. Or as crazy as it sounds actully be their on time. Good luck!

You gave your cat catnip last night while you were drunk and you woke up to find it hanging from the ceiling. As you were climbing the ladders to get it down a huge pigeon flew in and knocked you over. You woke up an hour later on the floor.

Something embarracing .............. discharge of some-sort or the obvious one - the sqwits! If you make it something that your boss will not want to question too much, you should be ok!
Although, if you use such an excuse on a Monday, they'll just think you're suffering from a 48hr hangover :O)

I once told the boss on Monday at 11:ooam that I couldn't get up because i was still piss@d up from the night before. He fell about laughing and overlooked my insubordination.

you haven't used the most common yet?
You had a power failure and your alarm didn't go off but you will try to remember the back up batteries tonight?
The Traffic
The Transit system
You woke up not feeling well so you moved slowly
There are thousands but if your constantly late for work you won't be needing them for much longer because they will fire you!
