If you’re always late, you probably already have a book of excuses. However, the overused traffic or alarm clock excuse doesn’t always work. Whether or not your reasons for being late are legitimate or ridiculous – it’s likely that your boss won’t buy them. It happens to everyone at some point – time slips away from you, and all of a sudden you’re late for work. You’ll need a pretty good explanation so here are some hilariously creative excuses for being late.
1. I got lost and couldn’t find my way back.
2. I had a severe allergic reaction to my alarm clock.
3. I forgot we moved offices three years ago and went to our old location.
4. My mother locked me in the closet and wouldn’t let me out.
5. Bijlee chali gaye thi and I can’t do my makeup in the dark.
6. My car’s radio was broken and I can’t drive without my music.
7. I lost my memory and forgot it wasn’t the weekend.
8. No one told me I had to be on time…
9. I’ve used up all of my sick days so I’m calling in dead.
10. I was waiting for my deodorant to dry.
11. I accidentally knocked myself out in the shower.
12. I dreamed that I got fired/expelled.
13. I discovered that my significant other was cheating on me, so I followed them this morning to confirm it.
Which one will you be using tomorrow morning?
