    being honest is the best. If you overslept, just say sorry to your boss and swear it won't happened again.

    otherwise blame the traffic/train delay

    The toilet exploded and I had to wait for the plumber.
    Or... The dog ate my mobile phone and I had to take her to the vet. Or... My Auntie Aggie's pacemaker shortcuited - hell of a mess!

    Be creative!

    I take the bus, and my boss knows traffic isn't exactly avoidable and busses are quite reliable.

    When I oversleep I just tell me boss, he don't mind.

    I have never had to make an escuse for being late for work....but for class yes. Usually the best bet is to tell the truth (it also secures a promotion in the long run) but if you must lie the "police stoped me for random inspection" always seems to work...

    After my classmate didn't get out from the bed on time, he stepped into a class 5 minutes before the end of the first hour, which was funny enough already. He went directly to the teacher and said: I'm sorry, I...I..errr...I'm late. It was accepted well by all (lool), including the teacher.

    I was trying to decide which excuse to use, if I'll be late, and it took me more than I thought.
