This is ME

Why are u late........

BECAUSE...

i miss the bus/train
there was a traffic jam
it was raining
i had to get my breakfast/lunch/tea/dinner/supper and the person took a long time to prepare the food
the clock did not ring
my mum did not wake me up
the taxi driver did not know the way
my shoe/bag gave way
i was delayed by a friend/salesperson
i fell asleep on the bus/train/blah
i was too engross about something

CONCLUSION:

its pretty obvious that those are just simply EXCUSES not REASONS
for time/environment don't control us
we are the one who plan and decide

However,

people apprantly feel better after listening all that EXCUSES
then not hearing anything from the latecomer.........

Funny huh?
