There was once a rumour that I had won a large cash prize, I had answered my front door (early morning) on live television in my dressing gown.
So many people refused to believe that it wasn't me, it was actually the lady two houses down who looked nothing like me. Grin

DorisDances · 21/03/2020 15:45

That I was related to a very famous pop star - even though we patently had very different skin colouring!

dentydown · 21/03/2020 15:51

My two oldest sons have sex with each other whilst the younger ones watch.

Crazy lady down the road rang up the school and made the allegation and it has gone on my file.

That I was a prostitute - DH worked away all week and just came home for two days and one week for years, and I had other man friends to service .... yep, the 65year old coal man, window cleaner, chimney sweep, plumber and car mechanic...... I was in my 20s.....

Chocolate50 · 21/03/2020 16:16

That I tried to kill my Father in law by putting a coin in a Christmas pudding. Deliberately trying to kill him. Yep that's me. I heard this rumour some 4 years after the said so called 'fact'.

About 10 yrs ago we attended my Dh brothers wedding. He has a huge family on his dads side so that night i met loads of his cousins who live at the other end of the country it was a really fun night,lots of plans made to visit for weekends. Lovely. To this day my Fil insists i caused a massive secene when my Dh was chatting to a female cousin, shouting 'who the fuck is she '& I stromed out with my baby son. Never happened, eveyone who was there is perplexed by this but still to this say he rolls this story out. Its just weird

ninox3 · 21/03/2020 16:49

My DXP telling me he had seen a video of me having sex with a guy I knew before he existed ??? Biggest load of shit ever an he eventually admitted it as I told him I was at the police station because if it was true it got done in secret and I didn't concent. I was in bits and mortified !!!

One night I left the pub earlier than my friends. Later I found out that they all thought I'd gone off to have sex with the bouncer (no idea why, I hadn't so much as glanced at the bouncer).

akmum18 · 21/03/2020 17:03

That I snogged my science teacher in a cupboard Grin the same person said another girl was pregnant with his baby which lead to teachers investigating. We were year 8s at the time and it wasn’t true.
That I was caught having sex with my female best friend in a public toilet and I’d begged a stranger to not tell my boyfriend Hmm
And lastly that my first baby was from a surrogate as I didn’t have a big enough bump to have given birth at the right time Grin
Funnily enough all 3 people were/are friends

Katinski · 21/03/2020 17:13

By the elderly women I had for a group chat session (I'm RMN and specialize in working with the elderly) - that I'm "some sort of Scarlet Woman"

I was in hospital for a whole month before my child was born, then baby was very ill. I came home a week after baby was born with no child as baby was in special care. Hard enough coming home to an empty cot but to then have well meaning neighbours sending flowers and sympathy cards for my stillborn child!

Found out one horrible witch of a neighbour had said I'd lost my baby during childbirth and I was in a mental health ward.

Baby came home a week later and I took bubs round to see her. She shat herself!

squeakyheart · 21/03/2020 17:58

After I landed awkwardly in a gymnastics display I felt faint and the rumour was I was pregnant. I was 10!

han2020 · 21/03/2020 18:05

There was a rumour going round that I got knocked up in secondary school, which frankly was hilarious seeing as I’m gay.

waterjungle · 21/03/2020 18:07

That I was a Jewish lap-dancer. I'm not Jewish or have I ever been a lap-dancer.

Alwaysonarecce · 21/03/2020 18:19

That I was having an affair with the CEO.

Triggahippy · 21/03/2020 18:23

That I had OC inpregnancy because I’m an alcoholic ( been t total for several years)

NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 21/03/2020 18:26

No one is interested enough in me to discuss me to this extent.

I really lack notoriety etc. I'm boring & overlooked - the sort of person where people say "you clean up nice" in surprise when I dress up for the office party.

Katinski · 21/03/2020 19:10

@waterjungle, that made me laugh out loud...just..why Grin

dimotikopp · 21/03/2020 19:34

I'm narcoleptic, and when I moved recently and told someone at the parents association, she repeated to others that I was a necrophiliac...I had to take her aside and tell her she had gotten the word wrong and to please stop saying that-she was horrified!

Bargebill19 · 21/03/2020 19:39

Dimotikop. Sorry but that’s hilarious!!!!!

Wauden · 21/03/2020 19:51

That the police did a drugs bust in my own home! A distant neighbour said that, fact.
What is correct about the story is that neighbour saw the police open the front door and go over the place with me standing outside. Now, the police did come over and looked the place over because I had come home, found a light on, door unlocked and heard a noise! I had called the police myself!

No intruders or anything found and I double check that the door is locked now.
The police were brilliant and I was embarrassed but they said that I had done the right thing and gave me general advice. Blush

orangedasies · 21/03/2020 19:54

a boy that I used to work with when I was around 17/18 told everyone that we were dating and that I had told him that I didn't want anyone to know so not to mention it to me at all when I had never even spoken to him.

Wauden · 21/03/2020 20:10

That I broke my leg and ran away with one of the fairground boys when I was 17.
Because when you break a leg you run away. Obvs.

LetsBeSensible · 21/03/2020 20:40

That I was a 13 year old swapping sex for drugs

ldewf · 21/03/2020 23:05

That I slept with a celebrity. The rumour spread so fast around the people I knew that within the hour my mum was on the phone calling me a lucky cow. I did meet him. I did not sleep with him.
