Haha! Great list. #5 actually happened to me once, on my way to a class, though! One of the main highways was shut down, without any warning, for the President and I had NO idea how to get anywhere without it!

Happy TT :)

My husband had #5 happen to him, too, only it was for the Queen of England when she came to the states. And because everyone was stopped on the side of the beltway for HRH, a cop noticed A's expired license plate and gave him a ticket. He threatened to send it to Her Majesty and see if she'd pay it.

These are so funny. I really like 5, 11, and 13. Especially 5 since that's made me late more than once. :)

Happy TT!

#5 has happened to me more than once. Let alone all the times I was late because of motorcades during primary season.

#7 happened to the CEO of a company I used to work for

And #13 should have happened for a guy that sits 2 offices away from me and snores way too loud to be sleeping at work. Three of us tried to wake him up before his boss came by and snapped a pictures using his cell phone.

Oh man -- the gas excuse is so true! I filled up my minivan this week -- $89.74!!!! I thought I might fall down on the ground and weep.

This is a great list! As for #8, it's not the line at Starbucks for me, it's the drive-thru line at Micky D's. I might have to use one of these on Monday. Happy Friday!
