True fact about yourself that no one believes

Kernobhead · 15/05/2019 20:14

When I was at university (5 yr course with a year in industry, so 4 yrs of teaching) I never missed a single lecture, seminar, lab or tutorial. If it was on the timetable I was there. We had large contact hours (engineering degree, so about 25 hrs per week) so was quite a lot to fit in.

I’ve told this to a few people over the years when the topic comes up in conversation. No one has ever believed me, and it’s not something I can prove or disprove either way!

Anything you have done in the past that no one believes and you have no way of proving?

I've never been to subway....I'm trying to get through my whole life never ever eating a subway.

That I'm rich enough never to work again, but as I love my job I keep working. Although I do plan in the odd week off to do some travelling now and again.

It's the smell of Subway, can't stand it. The Nandos thing floored them, one person asked if that meant I'd never eaten chicken. In that moment I couldn't prove I had.

I was a Royal nanny.

IvanaPee · 20/05/2019 20:27

Ooh for who?!

Leelawadee · 20/05/2019 20:39

What and Hoppity, me neither, but that can’t be that unusual, surely?

Agreed on the Subway smell. It’s awful and weirdly penetrating...

I'm not very interesting but people always seem very surprised when I tell them my age. I don't see it myself and I think I look my age. Especially as I have been ill for a few years and put on loads of weight and have dry skin - I feel about 80 most of the time!

@BertrandRussell what's the 9/11 video?

dreamingfairy · 20/05/2019 20:58

No one would ever know this of me. But I use to be escort. No one would ever EVER believe me.

I've been pee'd on by a leopard

Canveyisland, afraid not, the last time I was on a kayak was a couple of years ago in Canada. We do have one but never been on it either.
Leelawadi The nearest I get to a mountain is when we go skiing, I don’t even like hill climbing and not in a wheelchair either.

Ivana - a well known European Royal
Was several years ago ... but amazing experience.

IvanaPee · 20/05/2019 22:20

That’s amazing! What was it like??

HomemadeGranola · 20/05/2019 22:46

I have a title and an mbe. I'm below 40 which also helps it seem fake

HomemadeGranola · 20/05/2019 22:49

I'm deathly allergic to kfc

I made Russell Brand laugh.

Margaret Thatcher hated my grandfather.

I have never owned and will never own a smartphone.

IamPickleRick · 20/05/2019 23:21

So have I justkeeprolling!

I cried so much, it was horrible 😂

I'm originally from new Zealand when I was 3 I had hid myself away in a cupboard and fell asleep and my parents couldn't find me, and called the police, claiming id been abducted. It was a very unlocked doors, open windows era.

I don't have a single stretch mark despite having 5 DD's.

Birdie6 · 21/05/2019 00:48

I grew up in the 70's but I've never smoked marijuana.

I dont like cake. Not even as a child. (and not as a healthy eating thing, I just dont like it in the same way I dont like broccoli). My colleagues used to roll their eyes at me at work birthday parties, like I was on a diet and being a princess about the whole thing. I would sometimes just take the damn cake and sneak it into the bin.

Aus84 · 21/05/2019 01:20

@recklessgran

I hate you.

I'm Australian, and a descendant of a female first fleeter (convict)

A lot of Australia's are.

Sissy79 · 21/05/2019 01:28

These are all pretty believable tbh

Degustibusnonestdisputandem1 · 21/05/2019 06:37

@Aus84 true enough, but far fewer descended from female ones!
