This little tale of someone who overslept and missed their phone interview went wildly viral because it was a salutary lesson for everyone.

It was shared in the subReddit about ‘pro life-tips’ and here’s what Redditor w2555 had to say.

And here are just a few of the things people said about it after it went viral – very viral – on Reddit.

“Make a simple, concise statement. And then STOP TALKING.” Joyful_Fucker

‘Like my dad always says. The more you say, the more you’re responsible for.’ hein_4412

‘Never say more than you have to. Don’t lie, but don’t offer up extra details.’ wilsonism

‘Further: if you must offer a reason, offer one. If you’re late because of traffic, a sick cat, and a miscommunication, pick one. You know what three sound like? Excuses, even if they’re all true.’ zomboromcom

‘Also don’t make your self late twice in a row. If you’re 15 minutes away don’t say you’ll be there in 10 minutes to make them feel better, say you’ll be there in 20 mins to give you some breathing room to find parking or run to the bathroom.’ grimwock
