They are everywhere. Individuals have them, from students to teachers, from subordinates to bosses to peers,..and from politicians to bureaucrats-in other words, the governing classes and the opposition too.
They make the world go around, in other words. The world would be much duller without them, because everything would happen on schedule, as it was planned. What is the fun in that?
Man's innate creativity needs an outlet. And generating excuses provides an excellent one. Imagine the kinds of things you have to make up for coming late to work, class, or a date! Or the relatives you have to kill or get married to sneak away for a few days from the humdrum work life.
Students, of course, have a Constitution of their own which protects them from all consequences that excuses will bring them. There is always a way out.
As you can see, I am all for excuses. I have a few of my favourites too, but will keep them to myself, so I can use them when the time comes.
