Accountant's official tier list of client excuses for late paperwork

Tax season just wrapped for a lot of my clients so in the spirit of healing, a tier list:

S tier: "The dog ate it" (one client genuinely had a dog that chewed a box of receipts, I've seen the photos)
A tier: "I thought you had it"
B tier: "It's in an email somewhere" (it is not)
C tier: "I'll drop it round tomorrow" (said for 6 weeks)
F tier: a carrier bag of thermal receipts that have faded to blank paper

Fellow office workers, what are your clients'/customers' classics?
