There’s no good excuse. Time is precious and if you’re late, you’re saying that whoever’s time is wasted because of your tardiness, is not very important to you.

Somebody put a picture of David Hasslehoff under my windshield wiper blades, facing me, and I was so freaked out I forgot where I was.

“Omg… so my iPhone application which contains and reminds me of all of my responsibilities in life, interests, relationships, ideas, knowledge, and dreams totally ran out of batteries and so my reminder for our meeting never popped up! I am so dependent on it right? But I LOVE it. Also, sorry for being late.”

Traffic. Or my alarm clock never went off. Or I stayed up so late working on this thing for you [hand them the report] that I slept through my alarm. I am so sorry. Is it okay if I go get some coffee now?
