That’s a common reply of children. Usually they learn to not reply like that.
The thing is that I used to not give those replies as a child, but it was always an impossible scenario for me, so I gave up.
If the OP is persistently late for work and they often give shit “excuses” like “the bus was late” then I would react similarly to what the OP described. It’s an excuse, not a reason, because you can solve it but have chosen not to: for instance you could leave earlier to ensure that even if the bus is late, you’re still on time.
Lot of assumptions you are making there, and I understand it but if you’re not ND it might be hard for you to understand just how stupid these situations feel, especially when they’re not regarding recurring problems.
I do encounter these situations a lot less now that I’m an adult, and it’s less socially acceptable to just be an absolute cunt to me for no reason though.
There’s different types but a lot of them have very similar lived experiences, and they also tend to coincide with each other (people with ADHD often also have autism, OCD seems to coincide there too , and so on.)
I don’t have enough concrete information in the area to 100% say, but from my personal lived experience, as well as from the research I am aware of, there is a major overlap and common themes in our lived experiences.

If you look at this poster’s other posts, they’re quite unpleasant.
I’m a teacher, and I hate teachers who just assume everyone can magically not be late, as if personal circumstances don’t exist.
I’m curious what you mean by ND. Surely there are a whole host of different types of divergence many of which will have no impact on this?
I am NT (afaik) but I find some things completely incomprehensible to me.

Thanks, appreciate the insight.
