Some people wake up before there alarm goes off and are all excited to start a fresh new day, well let me tell you those are very rare species which are endangered. Many a times people wake up late for an important job interview or meeting or the first day of school so they have to get a good excuses after all 'Knowledge is Power'
Edit Steps
- 1Answer confidently to convince the other person.
- 2Stand up straight and confidently when you're actually speaking the excuse. Don't turn your face away from the person you are talking to. Talk in an apologetic tone.
- 3Refer to the person respectfully and talk lightly but confidently. Do not stutter. Try to pass out a compliment for the person if the situation is appropriate.
- 4Answer back real quick to prove that you're excuse is very much real! Do not let them think you are thinking of an excuse so plan your excuse in advance.
Edit Tips
- Confidently look into the eyes of the person you are talking to.
- Try to keep a straight face with a smile or neutral look depending on the situation.
- Try to keep your excuses reasonable and convincing. Don't get caught up in a web of lies
- Never go umm umm and then umm when giving you're excuses you'll just end up getting caught and looking like a fool
- Some good excuses are: "I was on my way to work, but on the way some guy spilled coffee on me so I had to go back and change", "I was helping an injured man/woman" etc. If you're boss is a dog lover try using something like "I saved a dog from getting hit by a truck", "My cat knocked off my alarm", "The taxi driver took me to the wrong building", etc.
Edit Warnings
- Realize that making excuses is not a way of life and learn to be punctual.
- Not all of us are good liars and you might get caught at some point if your show is not convincing.
- Some people who know us better can see right through our excuses. In those cases its best to tell them the truth.
- Keep your excuses convincing and hard to trace. You are not living in a film or fantasy world.
- Do not make excuses which can be traced back. It will result you in getting caught.
