Excuses for Paying Rent Late

None of them are good enough because I have to pay the mortgage, utilities, insurance, taxes and maintenance on time. But I’ve gotten some doosies. I should have written them down as I went along, because now I’m having trouble remembering them all. Here are a few:

“My boyfriend stole my money.”
“My girlfriend stole my money.”
“I didn’t work for two weeks.”
“My uncle died.”
“My wife’s uncle died.”
“My wife’s relative died and she had to go home to the Philippines.”
“Well you know, I’m working now and I have to buy breakfast, and lunch and dinner, because I’m working so I don’t have time to cook and that costs a lot of money and I had a $200 cable bill and...”
“I was having a baby.”
