Misunderstood



I wasn't trying to hinder fellow commuters from exiting the train.
They were just hindering me from entering the train.

I wasn't thinking of not giving my seat up to the pregnant lady.
I just wasn't sure if she's pregnant or fat.

I wasn't supposed to be this late for work.
It's just that the alarm didn't ring, and the bus came late.

I wasn't supposed to lose money in stock.
I just bought too late, and sold too early.

I wasn't really two-timing her when I already had a girlfriend.
I was just exploring my options.

I didn't intend to keep the $10,000 that I found.
I just didn't know who to return to.

I wasn't going to lose my temper.
I was just provoked by her into doing so.

I wasn't planning to skip their wedding dinner.
The time just happened to coincide with the last episode of my drama serial.

I would have started my own business long ago and achieve financial freedom.
I just didn't have a rich dad, and no extra time to do so.

I wasn't trying to take over the world.
I'm just trying to make it a better place.

I'm not the villain that your friends perceive me as.
I am just a victim, and I'm being misunderstood. =(

Note: This post is meant to be sarcastic. There are 101 reasons we can give just to explain something. But most are not reasons, they are either one-sided perceptions, or just simply... lame excuses.

Some could be valid though. Nice compilation..

Ice said...

wow! did you write those? I am impressed. I don't know if I am giving an excuse or not. I sure like to write like that, but I lack creativity :)

I have to say I always like something short & sweet and straight forward.

Roxy:
No obligations. Anyway, hope you enjoyed your holidays. ^_^

Pete:
Some reasons are "good", just not "good enough". =p

HappySurfer:
Agree there could be sone "valid" ones. But I interprete reasons like "The bus was late" as "You did not leave the house early enough."

Ai Shiang:
Yup, I wrote them all. Just recollecting a series of excuses used by people, and also a few ones that I came up with.

wenn:
Giving excuses is easy, but in most cases, serve no value.

SJ:
Agree excuses should be logical, but more importantly, what should be done in future so that the same excuse will not be given again? ^_^
