To ask What is the wildest rumour you have heard about yourself?

[FunkyTime]

I heard a rumor that I kissed another girl at a school disco in primary school

That my sister had an affair with my DH. She stayed with us on and off occasionally when working in the area, sometimes when I was also traveling with work.

I only heard the rumors several years later.

That I’d had sex on the beach in a tropical destination during a party at an international sporting event. In full view of all participants and officials etc.

I hadn’t, it was just (as a pp said) vigorous snogging! It was repeated back to me for years afterwards and quoted as fact by people who weren’t even there.

Weirdly, the man involved never denied the rumour. 🤷‍♀️

That I was sleeping with a PE teacher... Spread round by another teacher!! I was 17

I had terminal cancer

That I'm gay. It's happened more than once.

I probably do present as what (many people) think a lesbian is: shaved head, Doc Marts, lift weights, football season ticket, minimal interest in style and beauty (outside of the bodybuilding).

I am the straightest of straight women

Maybe I should 'grow my hair and pop on a pretty frock'. Thanks, sis

Went to a nightclub with my best friend, went back to hers after for a few more drinks. Her partner and his friends where there and he proceeded to kick the crap out of her five minutes after we walked in. I got them separated and locked us in the bathroom, rang her sister to come round as she wouldn't let me ring the police. During that time her partner and friends scarpered.

The next day she announced on Facebook she would no longer be speaking to me as I'd ruined her night as I'd tried to have sex with with her partners friend... Pure and utter crap . Thankfully my DP knew it was bullshit. I don't know if she posted it to deflected on what happened to her.

That I’d had a boob job and another was that my dh had a gambling problem and had to sell my car to pay off the debts ..
pathetic really

Before my epilepsy diagnosis I suffered a seizure at school. Ambulance turned up to take me to hospital (standard protocol). And family informed.

My younger sister was at the same school so a teacher relayed the message to her that I had been rushed to hospital as I had cracked my head open.

There was actually no head cracking, and my sister was ok despite the teacher over dramatising everything.

I had a few weeks of being “cool” though as word spread throughout pupils that it was a result of either a drug overdose or alcohol poisoning. Nope nothing as “exciting” as that. I spent a few days in hospital then off sick. No rehab as I did hear.

No one has ever started a rumour about me, I'm a boring as shit, though.

That I blew the lid on my boss committing large scale fraud shortly before I left the company. I didn't. I knew nothing about it until he was arrested overseas during my last week at work.
His arrest had large scale ramifications for our entire team and the rumour mill went into overdrive, but I wasn't there to defend myself.
I had utterly no idea about what was going on as he hid it so incredibly well.

That I was pregnant and in a lesbian relationship. I had a female lodger and had given up alcohol....

When I was in Y7, a girl in my class came in one day with her arm in a cast and sling. I was amongst the many clamouring around to find out what had happened, but she was really off with just me.

Later that day I was called in to see the Head of Year. She had told them that I'd cornered her after school and broken her arm.

I'd done no such bloody thing. I'd gone to another friends house from school, with that friend and stayed there until I walked home at teatime.

I wouldn't know where to begin breaking someone's arm, and given that I stopped growing at 14 and 5'0, I was about 4'6 at the time compared to the girl who was about 5'2. I'm not sure how she thought I'd have the strength to overpower her.

I think the teachers believed me as nothing else came of it, but there was whispering and her friends felt the need to 'protect' her from me for weeks.

I left that school a couple of months later as we moved away, so I never got to the bottom of why she said it was me, or how she actually broke it. I'm 37 now and the injustice still annoys me.

A friend of mine at college told people I'd had sex with him. I hadn't even kissed him.

The work bitch told everyone (including my fiancé) that I was fucking a guy from work. Married guy with two tiny children. When I say everyone, I mean his wife too. It was bloody awful. We were good friends but his wife, not knowing what to believe, has told him he is to have no further contact with me now I’ve left that particular workplace
I hate the one who started that rumour, not for my own sake as now-DH didn’t give it a seconds headspace, but for the poor wife’s sake. Messing with her head like that with two babies at home

Not particularly wild, but around 15 years ago I heard that a particular couple didn't want to spend time with me and my then boyfriend because I 'steal other people's girlfriends'. I'm really not sure how that originated.

Apparently I killed a horse with my bare hands!🤷🏻‍♀️

I’d got divorced. Had to stop wearing my wedding and engagement ring as I suddenly developed an allergy to nickel (added to white gold). Someone at work, decided this meant I had divorced, and told everyone.

@Seashell80 that’s hilarious 😂

One guy said he fancied me and apparently I fell to my knees in delight and gave him a blow job he told my friends mum she said fuck off did she he was mortified

According to my daughters step mother I have four children with five different men and I'm breeding to keep away from working a, I have three children b, your maths are incorrect c,I was working a full time job at the time you and your boyfriend are dole dossing (and in his case definitely) drug addict d, you wonder WHY my daughter wont see you and your husband? Look at how you treat her mother

@Seashell80. Magnificent. You win the thread.

This is, without a doubt, the best thread that's ever been on here.

I've nothing to add. I must be boring.

I was having and affair with an older man at work. I suppose not helped that when his wife had their baby they named her after me and made me Godmother.

Not in any way true. We genuinely were just friends.

I came back three days late from the summer holidays in year 10, because I genuinely was sick. But my English teacher asked me to stay behind after class as she heard that I got lost and kidnapped during my holiday and that my parents had to pay a lot of money to get me back. On my return I was not a virgin so my father married me off to a rich respected old man.

Oh how I laughed until, I realised she actually believed it. I don’t know who made it up and why. I did set her straight and told her, mom only took me to visit an auntie in Norway and I (at that time) didn’t speak to my father.

My DS14 came home saying his friend said I was a prostitute

I'm not BTW!
