It's my personal belief that there are those who arrive for work early on a daily basis and those who are regularly 15 or so minutes late. Some bosses get really ticked off and some let it roll. Personally, I find the excuses interesting, and I believe the lateness should be excused, on a sliding scale, depending on the creativity of the exuse.
Your best excuse below...and you can post late if you want. I'll see you on the way in.

I had a guy that worked for me tell me that he was late because he had a flat tire and it took him a while to get his spare on 
he rode a motorcycle....needless to say that was his last day

A ruthless man ruined Monopoly playing for me. In fact ANY board game playing. I'm a realist. Now pull up your pants and write another excuse. Your hair is a friggen mess...and what's that smell?

Okay this really happened to me..and my excuse was valid and a lot of folks at work didn't believe me.. 
On the way walking to work for the late shift a guy jumped outta a big oleander bush and tried to rob me or what have you ..not sure what he would've done if I handn't took the lit cigarette I had in my hand and ground it in his face... 
a few did believe me later because they were with me at the bar later that night when a guy who looked like the guy that tried to rob me walked in with a bandaid on his face.. he saw me and left really quick yeah I was a bit shook then for sure

True stories? Fine.
Slammed on my brakes so as to not to hit something in the road, and bing, bang, boom, I snapped the brake lines. No emergency brake either as I had yanked that up as well.
So the guy who ran in front of my car lived, I had no brakes. And well, without brakes, I made it to work in record time. Walked in the door and threw myself into my bosses arms crying. I was terrified! Poor guy, he had no clue what to do with me.
