Being late
You set the time to wake up on your telephone = “set the alarm”
So, if the phone doesn’t work and you wake up too late, you can say:
“Excuse me, the alarm didn’t go off!”
If you are ready to go but you have to wait a long time for a bus you say: “Sorry for being late, I had to wait ages for a bus!” Ages means a very long time.
If you are taking the car and there is a big traffic jam, you can say: “Sorry, the traffic was terrible!”
