The person is describing (making up excuses) as to why they were late and one
of them they said the below:

「いやぁ……参りましたなぁ……コンビニの店員がちんたらレジやるから遅刻ですよ……」

私は時計を見る。

時間は11時すぎ、だいたい四時限目がはじまるぐらい。

「えーと、それと電車がちんたらしてたからかなぁ？…… **なんか気分的に** ……」

それでもあまり時間は合わない……。

「……あと……シャワーがちんたら出てたとか…… **なんか気分的に** ……」

「……なんとなくそういう理由かな？」

How exactly does this 気分的に change the meaning of the sentence? I'm assuming it
is trying to convey the idea of 'feeling' like the train was moving sluggishly
but I'm not sure how this differs from conveying the information using some
form of e.g. ような気がする

grammar
Meaning of 気分的に
It's adding an acknowledgment that the slower pace of the train is actually
not real (and is merely imagined).

If one is really trying to make excuses, one wouldn't do this (because it
nullifies the excuse). The speaker is either comically cocky, making fun of
the conversation partner, or is being sheepish (my bet would be the former
two, given the choice of ちんたら which doesn't fit with being sheepish).

The cliche would then be for the conversation partner to reply
「お前、おちょくってんのか！」、「こいつ、大物だな」 etc.
