Do you make excuses if your late? or better an alibi?

I do it sometimes, my wife and children do it too. When I arrived late at work and have missed something important, I do make excuses just to saved my butt. My children makes excuses too when they arrived late from school. Excuses varies like traffics, accidents, unexpected visitors, finishing an urgent reports, heavy rains, my alarm clock did not ring or battery is low. These are some common alibis when late. Many of us are good at it but sometimes when it becomes too often, it becomes a habit. I know if someone's making a habit out of it. Do you make excuses (or alibis) too?
