I could have sworn I set up te alarm.....
-
"I didn't wake up the alarm clock on time"
-
train was late
-
how far from work are you? would "i'm stuck in traffic" work?
-
I use the truth, unlike you nefarious sorts.
-
train was late
I don't take the train.

No, I use public transportation.
btw, I'm just gonna call in sick or something. It's way better than to show up late. What's the best "sick" excuse? :P

last week, i was driving to work and was already about 20 minutes late before pulling in. i wiped my hand on my dusty dashboard, covered my fingers, and make a small mark under my eye. (my car is filthy). When i walked in my boss asked what happened, and i told him i had to get a jump. he told me i had something under my eye, and i acted confused. i brushed it of and asked him if i got it off. i felt like ferris bueller

if you're using a sick excuse, tell them you've got something really contagious like pinkeye or strep throat or lice. they'll be begging you not to go in.
pro tip: it's easy to fake a sore throat voice over the phone

Be fucking honest about it, it happens to everyone. Or tell them that your alarm clock broke.
The last time this happened to me, I didn't hide anything: I told them I needed to buy a new clock, because I had gotten so used to the one I was using that I slept right through the alarm! :o Now I use two different alarms (Cell phone and alarm clock) and no longer have this problem.

It's even easier to fake pink eye over the phone.
"Yeah. It's lookin pretty pink."

I'm the guy people call, when they call in sick.
It's always amusing to hear the "I'm so sick, feel sorry for me" voice on the phone.
You never know if it's real, but then again, I don't really care.

I woke up late this morning. Just logged on to work from home for a few hours, then wandered in to the office at noon. It's too good to last...

power fell out/surge so your alarm clock reset and didn't wake you up

Calling in sick isnt a good idea I think, because:
1. You usually have to do that on time too, before work starts
2. Youre letting your co-workers work more because you didnt show up. They wont like that. Better come in late, then not at all.
Depends on what industry you're in. In an office environment, since everyone is pretty much responsible for their own thing, no one gives a shit.
If I'm late, no one usually gives a fuck since most people call me to tell me they'll be late. But if there's something going on or I have to tell my Manager for whatever reason, I use my daughter. :lol failsafe.

Seriously. No one will question you on this. Hell, no one would WANT to question you about it.

No one is gonna say they got explosive diarrhea to anyone.
