Funniest excuses for being late
Everyone’s been late. But why someone is late – that’s where the creativity really begins. We’ve collected some of the funniest, strangest (and maybe even true?) excuses people have ever given for not showing up on time.
Excuse list funny:
1. “My dog ate my alarm clock.”
Classic excuse, modern twist. We suspect it was their time management that got eaten.
2. “My cat was sleeping on my keys, and I didn’t have the heart to move her.”
Cats rule us – and apparently, now they also control our schedule.
3. “The GPS kept taking me in circles.”
Technology sometimes has a mind of its own. Especially when you’re in an empty parking lot doing your third loop of shame.
4. “I couldn’t find my other sock.”
More than an excuse – it’s a lifestyle. True lateness begins with a sock that refuses to be found.
5. “I realized I wasn’t even scheduled to work today… but I came anyway.”
This is peak responsible laziness. Kind of admirable, really.
6. “My coffee was too hot. I had to wait.”
Scalded tongue or angry boss? Some choices are easier than others.
7. “My shoes looked at me and said: ‘Let’s take the day off.’”
If your footwear starts talking, either you need sleep… or a job in creative writing.
