Worse excuses for being late for a Beacon Hill apartment showing

As a Boston real estate broker, my staff and I over the years have conducted numerous Beacon Hill apartment showings.

When a client is about 15 minutes late, I give them a buzz to see what time I might expect them. Here are some of my favorite memorable excuses:

Hey! Sorry, but I’m running a bit late. I’m heading out the door right now, I promise. I just need to get out of bed, shower really quick, and then stare at my closet as I air-dry my hair. Five minutes out, I swear.
