Ever booked a last-minute airport transfer and come up with a funny excuse? You’re not alone! At M2P Airport Transfers here in Mandurah, we’ve heard it all. If you want a laugh, just have a read-along. We don’t take life too seriously—we just like helping people get to Perth Airport and enjoying life while we do it. Oh, and yes, we’re saving the best excuse for last! And why its risky! We might have no seats or be in bed when you call.
1. The Great Dog Chase: Bob’s Airport Shuttle Slip-Up
Some days just go completely off track, and Bob had one of those. He gave us a call needing a last-minute airport transfer from Mandurah after spending the whole day chasing his dog, Max, around the neighbourhood.
We’d had nothing but sunshine for weeks, and of course the day Max decides to disappear, it absolutely pours. Bob’s out there, soaked to the bone, walking up and down the streets, looking over fences, calling out for Max in the rain.
By the time Max strolled back in like nothing had happened, Bob realised he’d totally forgotten to book his shuttle to Perth Airport. Fair enough—we sorted it out, and had a laugh with him along the way.
2. The “One More Beer” Blunder: Damien’s Classic Slip
Damien’s one of our regulars, so when he called in a panic needing a last-minute shuttle to Perth Airport, we knew something had gone sideways.
Turns out, he’d gone to the pub with a few mates, and—according to Damien—it was their fault. They convinced him to stay for just one more beer. That one extra round? It completely wiped his memory of going back to work the next day. Shuttle? What shuttle?
Somehow, that final beer hit the reset button on his whole brain. He forgot everything. Including the fact he was flying out the next morning.
We’re still not sure how you forget you’re going back to work, but hey, it happens. We got him sorted, no judgement—just a few laughs (and maybe a reminder not to let the mates talk him into another one next time).
3. “I Didn’t Get My Flight Details!” – Sandra Strikes Again
Sandra’s been using M2P Airport Transfers for over two years. Lovely lady. But here’s the thing—she’s never actually booked her own shuttle. Not once. Every time, it’s a last-minute call with a different excuse.
This time? “I didn’t get my flight details.” She swears it. Says work or the airline must’ve messed up. We’ve heard that one… maybe a dozen times now.
We’ve gently explained that even if the flight isn’t locked in, she can still book the shuttle. We’ll happily refund her if things change. But nope—off she goes, out having a great time with her mates, and next thing you know, she’s calling us in a flap, needing an urgent ride to Perth Airport.
We still look after her, of course. But at this point, we’re thinking her real booking issue might be champagne-related.
4. A Bit of a Sad One: Stephen and the Budgie
Stephen—with a ph—is one of our regulars, and normally he’s right on the ball with his bookings. But this time, things were a bit different.
His pet budgie had passed away a few days earlier, and to be honest, he was still pretty shaken up. Understandably so—pets are family, and losing one can really throw you off.
At around nine o’clock at night, he suddenly remembered he was supposed to be heading back to work the next day… and hadn’t booked his airport shuttle from Mandurah.
He gave us a ring, a bit flustered, and we got it sorted. No fuss. Sometimes life gets heavy, and we totally get it. We’ve always got your back, even when you forget—or when the budgie breaks your heart.
5. Blame the Wife – Matt’s Never-Ending To-Do List
Matt’s one of our favourite passengers, always cheerful, always got a story. But this time, he forgot to book his airport transfer—and he says it’s all his wife’s fault.
According to Matt, he spent the entire day running around the house doing jobs. Bit of housework here, fixing this, checking that. Every time he finished one task, another one popped up. You know how it goes.
By the time it hit 8pm, Matt finally sat down… and suddenly remembered he was flying out the next day for work. No shuttle booked. Oops.
We got him sorted, of course. No judgement. Just another day in the life of a man with a very efficient wife and a disappearing to-do list.
6. Payday Problems? Sure, Ben…
Ah, Ben. You’ve got to love him. He’s on a tidy $180,000 a year, but apparently, he had to wait for his pay to land in his account before he could book his airport shuttle.
Now, we’re not saying he forgot. We’re also not saying he was out playing golf with the boys and ended up on the booze at the 19th hole. But we are saying… come on, Ben.
Peris thought maybe you’d just own up to it. But nope—had to be the bank’s fault. Always the bank.
He rang us a bit sheepish, needing a last-minute lift from Mandurah to Perth Airport. We got him there, as always—but next time, we reckon he should book before tee-off.
7. Going? Not Going? Going? Darren’s Shuttle Confusion
Now Darren’s usually pretty organised, but this time… well, we’re still not entirely sure what happened.
According to him, his work changed their mind about four times in one day. He was going. Then he wasn’t. Then he was. Then—nope—back to not going. You get the picture. By the end of it, even he didn’t know what was happening.
At 9:30 p.m., we finally got the call—turns out, he was going to work after all. Maybe. No, definitely.
We’re not saying we don’t believe him… we’re just saying this one had more twists than a crime show. Either way, we got Darren on the shuttle and off to Perth Airport—because at M2P, we’ve learned to roll with it, even when no one else seems to know what’s going on.
8. Sick, Not Sick, Sort Of Sick? Heather’s Last-Minute Miracle
Ah, Heather. This one had us scratching our heads a bit.
So, she was sick—and wasn’t going to work. Fair enough. Then she felt a bit better. Then worse. Then not sure. But then… she felt great the moment she realised she might still need to book her airport shuttle.
Except she wasn’t going. Or so we thought.
Then, out of nowhere at 10 p.m., she calls and says she is going—because they suddenly found her a flight. Right.
Look, we don’t really know how this one worked either. But we like Heather, and we got her to the airport. Sometimes it’s best not to ask too many questions.
9. The Mystery Mix-Up: Jamie’s Changing Story
Jamie called us around 7:30 p.m. one night, needing an airport shuttle from Mandurah—urgently. He’d just been told he had to head back to work, and had no time to muck around. Fair enough, we got him sorted.
But here’s where it gets interesting…
The next morning, our driver had a friendly chat with him, and Jamie casually mentioned that another shuttle company had let him down. Hmm. That’s not quite the story we heard the night before, Jamie.
Seems like someone forgot which version they were going with. But hey—we’re not here to judge. Since that day, Jamie’s stuck with M2P Airport Transfers, and we’re more than happy to have him on board. Even if the stories sometimes change, at least the rides stay reliable.
10. The “Blame the Wife” Plot – Joe (No Last Name, For Safety)
And now, as promised, we’ve saved the best for last.
Joe—who we won’t fully name here, purely for his own safety—gave us one of the more daring excuses we’ve heard. When he realised he’d forgotten to book his airport shuttle, he told us, quite confidently (and quietly), that it was his wife’s fault. She was meant to book it, apparently.
Now, that would almost make sense—if Joe hadn’t always been the one to book it himself. Every time. For years.
Funny how the one time he forgets, it’s suddenly her job.
Look, Joe, we’re not getting involved. We’re just the shuttle service. But if she ever finds out… mate, we’ll deny everything.
Thanks for the laugh, and yes—we got him to the airport. But we also made sure to delete the call log. Just in case.
Final Words
We hope you’ve enjoyed this little read and had a few laughs along the way. And if you’ve read through and quietly realised you might be one of the stories—don’t worry, we still love you. At M2P Airport Transfers, we believe in having a bit of fun and not taking life too seriously. If you’ve got a funny excuse—shuttle-related or not—we’d love to hear it. And just one bit of advice for next time: please don’t blame the wife. It’s not worth the risk.
