Man up

Deep down in every man there is a part of him that just doesn't want to be to blame.
Things like "I was late because of ..." or even "I was day dreaming during that meeting because of ..." or maybe "I had to look at that woman because of...". Sometimes there are legitimate excuses - but don't make excuses for everything.

If your car stalls on the way to a meeting then it is OK to be late. But if you were late because you were stuck in the drive through waiting for that McGrease breakfast sandwich, well that is your fault.

If your project at work is late because the client changed 5 major details two days before deadline, that is acceptable. If it is late because you didn't start until two days before the deadline - YOUR FAULT.

One of the rules of being a man is taking the responsibility for your actions.

So Man Up and own your actions - true men accept responsibility.
