Being late can be frustrating for those waiting, but some people come up with the most ridiculous excuses for their tardiness. Here are some of the most outrageous excuses for being late:
"I got stuck in a tree" - This excuse may sound like a joke, but it was actually used by a woman who claimed she climbed a tree to save a cat and got stuck.
"My car was abducted by aliens" - While it may be fun to imagine extraterrestrial beings stealing your vehicle, it's highly unlikely to be a valid excuse.
"I was waiting for my bread to finish baking" - While homemade bread can be delicious, it's not a good excuse for being late to an important appointment or meeting.
"I was sleepwalking and ended up miles away from my house" - While sleepwalking is a real phenomenon, it's highly unlikely to result in someone ending up miles away from their home.
"I accidentally locked myself in my own trunk" - While this excuse may sound like it came from a sitcom, it was actually used by a woman who claimed she accidentally locked herself in her own car trunk.
"My pet ferret stole my keys" - While ferrets are known to be mischievous pets, it's highly unlikely that one would be able to steal someone's keys and cause them to be late.
"I was stuck in traffic caused by a herd of goats" - While traffic can be caused by a variety of things, including accidents and construction, it's highly unlikely that a herd of goats would be the cause.
"My Uber driver got lost and took me to the wrong city" - While it's possible for an Uber driver to get lost, it's highly unlikely that they would take someone to the wrong city entirely.
These are just a few of the most ridiculous excuses for being late. While some may be entertaining, it's important to be responsible and considerate of others' time by being punctual.
