The other week my friend Nick was going for a job interview. He got into town pretty early because he was quitting smoking that day, so he went to an NHS centre to get some Nicotine patches. He picked those up, put one on, but still had a while to go til his interview.
So he went to his local bar. (No, he didn't get drunk by accident!)
He sat at the bar with a friend of his, ordered an orange juice. He was sat there talking to his friend when suddenly he felt violently ill. He was faint and very pale. He ran to the toilets and threw up for about 20 minutes.
So he was pretty sure it was the nicotine patch...he wasn't drinking alcohol so it wasn't that, and he didn't have food poisoning or anything. So he called the NHS centre he had got the patches from...
Turns out, they'd accidentally given him the patches they give to people over the age of 50 who had been smoking for years. So that patch was pumping his body with more nicotine than he smokes in about a week!
He called the place he was going for an interview at and told them what had happened. The guy laughed his ass off and said it was fine, come in tomorrow.
Pretty good huh?

Haha, that's funny. Only because someone didn't fuck up and give him something dangerous by accident. Jesus.
Good excuses legitimately would be the death of a relative or close friend, getting hit by a car, etc.
I think any excuse, no matter how legitimate or reasonable, will go down without affecting your impression with most people though.
