True fact about yourself that no one believes

[Kernobhead]

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?

@EastMidsGPs I'm also the only one of my name on the electoral register, married and maiden name. Very easy to believe for the people that know my name though.

@Frith2013 so does my dp he belongs to a clever clogs society( not Mensa)

I broke my leg aged 16 whilst sat down on a double decker bus on my way home from work.

Lorry hit the bus and ripped the bus open from front to back wheels on the drivers side (UK) cue broken leg after seat in front of mine twisted and trapped my leg.

I refused painkillers as they were going to give me an injection and I hated needles... I now have 3 tattoos and no needle phobia!

This incedent took place Dec 89 in North Road in Cardiff by the law courts and Cardiff Central police station, I took 90 seconds to get to the hospital (old Cardiff Royal infirmary)

I was in a TV ad for Clarks shoes sometime in the 70s which I’ve never actually seen. I’ve also had the (washed) underwear of someone who became Prime Minister hanging up in my kitchen.

I can orgasm from anal sex. Apparently you can't tell by looking at me.

I’m a middle-aged, retired teacher and am probably considered fairly conventional, if a bit bohemian. Previously I lived in Africa where my job was wrangling large Nile crocodiles for the purpose of data collection and radio tagging. I never tell my English friends, as on the few occasions I have, I’ve had to provide photographic evidence, which frankly feels shitty.

I was asked on date by Matt Goss and Nick Knowles I stupidly turned them down. I also went for a drink with the ex drummer from the cure who was also Van Morrison’s manager. Van sat on another table and we were offered back stage passers. Unfortunately I had absolutely no idea who Van Morrison was in those days and refused to go clubbing instead. No one apart one girl who was also there no this, I’m so ashamed.

I don't go to church, we are not believers, we didn't even get married in a church.

I used to be an altar server. Blows peoples minds!^

OMG! I also am completely nope! When it comes to religion! I also used to be an altar server in a Roman Catholic Church as a young girl!

No cigarettes or drugs....ever
And George Harrison is my cousin on my dads side, twice removed! And no I never met him or anyone else from his family, no I don’t like Beatles music and no they don’t know who I am!

On the family tree 🌲 Only.

I believe I am the only person in the world with my name. I've googled, Facebooked, instagrammed, twittered, LinkedIn etc never come across it. I have a very unusual first name and a very foreign surname. It's difficult to explain without being outing, but if you knew me, you'd know why.

I don't drink alcohol - never liked it, never will.

I play the piano by ear, cannot read music, but can play really well. people always say I must have had lessons at some point, but have never had a lesson in my life.

@tinytemper66

Me too. I hate meeting people. I told my sister this the other day and she didn’t believe it either!

I have never taken drugs of any kind.

I spent the best part of three years stoned out of my brain and playing online games all day 19-22 (all for a guy!) I’m now so very vanilla boring I chair a Committee for the local Scouts!

Also no one seems to believe I’m autistic and struggle enormously with social interaction. Possibly also because I force myself to chair said Committee.

That I'm actually quite intelligent. I must look thick and people seem genuinely surprised that i know a lot of stuff.

Nothing too notable but we were married by the mother of my bride!

She made a decent job, it lasted 22 years!

I’ve never drank any alcohol, smoked or taken any drugs.

That I was absolutely wild as a teenager. Drugs, mad house parties, hung out with guys that were in and out of jail. It was kind of like a more extreme version of Skins. I'm very middle class, comfortable suburban mum now - not even my husband knows half of what I got up to and I often wonder how I survived!

I saw an elf as a child.

That I suffer severe crippling anxiety and depression. I’m very much an actress. Unless they’ve been there during a breakdown they have no clue. When people discuss mental health/self harm/suicide etc with no sympathy or make jokes about it I occasionally snap and set them straight, then get the ‘no way is there anything wrong with you ‘but your always happy’ ‘you don’t know what you are talking about’ (sorry bit of a downer one!)

Some of these answers are hilarious "No one will believe i grew up on a rough housing estate because i now live in a 3 bed semi detached in milton keynes"

Despite having naturally blonde/ mousy hair and sparkly blue eyes I’m actually bi racial - (white mother & half Indian father )

I was offered an opportunity to be one of three investors in GHD hair company. The stake was a mere £10k. I turned it down. Two of the three investors sold to the founding member for £45 million pounds just three years later. Ooops!

That I’m as old as I am. I’m really not boasty boasting here, twice in the last month I’ve had people make comments about it. This Week I was said at work I was feeling old and creaky in my bones and he said ‘when you’re knocking on 35, come back and tell me about old’. I’m 47!

I find it baffling really, because I’m no Elle Macpherson by any stretch and I’m quite wrinkl. I haven’t been ID’d since I was 15 so it’s not like I’ve got young face either.

That I went to elocution lessons, the exams were held in London RADA, I was spotted there and offered a starring role in a television series. My DM was over the moon. My DF said no, the industry was full of depraved adults. I was so disappointed, my DM furious. But from what I read these days my DF was spot on.

My DH knows because he saw the paperwork in my memories suitcase, but my children and friends don`t.

That I have OCD, borderline personality disorder and psychotic depression

I don’t look like the type apparently and that both of my children wouldn’t be allowed to stay with me if this was the case.
(My medication is what helps me be ‘normal’ a very supportive husband and my mental health nurse is amazing!)
