What do you usually use an Excuse for?
Being late to classes, mostly.
What is your excuse?
"I overslept."
"I'm not late, your clock is fast."
"Doors wouldn't open."
One of those, normally.
What's the most ridiculous excuse you've ever said?
"Slipped on the ice and almost got hit by a car, so I had to wait a minute to recollect my cool before I continued my journey." Was it true? Sort of. Yes, I did slip on the ice and wait a moment to collect myself. I didn't narrowly avoid getting hit by a car. I wasn't even near a road, I was walking through the local park. No, the excuse didn't work. Seems the whole car thing made it too unbelievable. Shame, really. 'twas a good story.
