We all know someone who, even if he has all the time in the world, is still late, and what's more, he has these expressions "on the tip of his tongue":

I came, for my head. I'll be there in 5 minutes

Meanwhile, he's still in the shower.

Do you know how much traffic you have?

Uh, yes. I've been waiting for an hour and I haven't seen more than two cars.

I couldn't find the keys

I know the old trick.

I was sleeping

Or you were watching videos on TikTok.

Wow, I didn't even look at the clock

Definitely not.

Last time!

I have heard this phrase more than my favorite song.

Do you have a lot to look forward to?

What do you think? An eternity then!

I met a friend I had (in daycare) and she kept me talking, I didn't care

There's always something that doesn't work. In your case, delay.
