21st Century Excuses
With changing technology and innovation, come new problems. This is more of a reflective post, but here are some trends that I have been noticing as new technology becomes available. This is a list of the top excuses and their 21st century counterparts. Enjoy.
10. My dog ate my homework.
“I got a virus”9. I lost my keys.
“My battery was low and I lost my charger.”8. My grandmother died.
“My grandmother’s computer died.”7. I had the wrong conference room.
“The meeting had the wrong call-in number.”6. It was lost in the mail.
“Did you check your spam filter?”5. I gave it to…
“What was your email address again? I think I sent it to the wrong person.”4. I wasn’t home, I didn’t get your message.
“My phone has been acting really weird lately, I get really bad reception there.”3. The library didn’t have that book.
“I tried, but it said the website was down.”2. I went by your office, you weren’t there–Weird, I’ll come by again later.
“I sent you an email last night, didn’t you get it? Weird, I’ll send it again when I get back.”1. I forgot.
“My calendar didn’t remind me.”
Some things never change.

“Sorry I’m late, I took the wrong street” to “Sorry I’m late, Google Maps couldn’t find your address”
Great list, words of truth right there.
And don’t forget this: “My USB stick broke down”.

Number seven needs a hyphen. Your English and/or writing classes were good for something after all, now weren’t they?

“Maybe your browser couldn’t read special characters?”
I was working on the project just before I upgraded to MSIE-7 and now I can’t find ANY of my data files.
I think I used a few of those new ones, real funny!
It’s true; as technology evolves so do the excuses. Strange, but true.
…I’ve used some of these excuses XD
This is a lame list
Ah! thanks! i really needed them
_now i have more excuses_ yeah 
No…not lame at all. I use these all the time, lol. You been getting email from me?
#10 should be “My printer wasn’t working.” I heard that one all the time in high school.
I think I have used all of the modern ones at one time or another. Aside from the grandmother one. Nice list.
Due to the popularity of this post, I have created a new site:
