10 Memes You Can Show to People When You’re Inevitably Late Again

The reasons that one can be late are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Scarce to be counted…filling the darkness…

Of course, the REAL reason you’re always late is just because you don’t pay enough attention and you’re staring at your phone / sleeping in all the time.

But the STATED reasons – the reasons you tell other people, well you can get really creative with those. Here are ten memes with suggestions for reasons you can give that you were late next time you inevitably are.

Dash what? Where? From whence? It doesn’t matter.
