Nasty rumors you've heard about yourself (in real life)
 

I heard that I was having an affair with my coworker's husband.

That rumor really did hurt my friendship with the wife but not the husband. He and I found it absurd and rather funny. She went on the warpath. It really showed how insecure and somewhat homophobic she really was.

Still, I thought it was pretty cool that the general public felt I had husband-stealing potential.

I went out on a date with a coworker behind my then-fiance's back. Too bad the then-fiance was there. If I was going to go on a date with another guy, I don't think I'd bring the guy I was engaged to along.

In high school, I was supposedly "a witch". :rolleyes:

That b/c I had a great relationship with one guy I used to work with that means I'm sleeping with him behind my then-boyfriends back. After he moved it was rumored I was sleeping with another guy at work. If it wasn't so awful I would laugh. Both of these guys are under 25 and I'm well in my 30's....I should be flattered that the person who started that rumor thinks I'm that much of a cougar!

Back when my husband and I were newlyweds, during those long hot summer nights, our neighbors thought it was us making all that noise from the bedroom when it turned out to be our next door neighbor who was a young single mother (daughter grown and out the house) getting busy with the latest fling... I thought that was funny when I heard it.

In fifth grade, some ho wrote a rumor in a bathroom stall that I was gay, everyone believed it. We were at the age when we just started to understand the concept of homosexuality. Apparently I fitted the "profile". :rolleyes:

There's some truth in the rumor TODAY, but back then my world revolved around Nintendo, blue raspberry blowpops, and Guess! jeans...NOT getting with a girl.

I found out recently that some people on GC don't think I am fratty at all.

Devastating.

Some guy said that I had gone to some club (that I was NOT allowed to go to at the time- I was living at home and the folks were strict) and had told him and his buddies that I was dating a friend of mine and that his best buddy was a "bad influence". And since my friend had no reason to mistrust the guy, and he had never introduced us, foolishly believed him and was furious at me.

But I had an alibi- another friend of mine was that night at that club and confirmed that I was NOT there. PLUS that dude had asked this friend earlier what I looked like and was like- so when he told the first friend that I had gone there, he was able to describe me to a T.

The angry friend could tell that my version remained consistent, while the other dude's was not consistent.

So I convinced my mom to let me go to this club with a group of girlfriends a night where all the previous people involved would be there. And the angry friend could tell that the slanderous guy did not recognize me, nor did I recognize him- nor did I know my way around the club at all, which was further proof of my innocence.

My friend apologized and bought me lunch.

ive always gotten the bad rep amongst my friends' parents that i was the "bad influence." hmm. i didnt sleep with every guy on the basketball team, hook up with dudes in the locker room, or drink/smoke/do drugs. but i sure did graduate at the top of my class and go to college.

damn me and my rebellious ways.

now, the word on the street is that im just a mean b!tch. theyre hitting home with that one, because that's somewhat true. but when it comes down to it, i wouldnt bust a grape in a food fight.

and there are people who are putting $ on the day i come out. and when i say "people," i mean "family."

when i was 16, i supposedly got pregnant by the preachers son, and thats why we had left/switched congregations...lord i was so in love with that boy! but his daddy was a money obsessed crook. THATS why we left!

come to find out another girl actually was pregnant by him...and once it got out she got her a** whooped in a sunday school class by another girl he was sleeping with. what a bullet i dodged not messing with him...

Someone told my boyfriend that i made out with some guy at a frat bar for free drinks recently. Too bad school consumed my life all summer and i haven't been out in forever. Free drinks would be nice though!

You sure it didnt start with a b?

:eek:

Yep. They thought I'd cast a spell on them . . . :eek:
