To ask what incorrect statements/assumptions have made about you on Internet forums?

[trollsbegone]

Back in the early days of Internet forums, I posted on one (not MN) as a student, celebrating that I'd been offered a particular grad job.

Someone replied that I was clearly lying because only people with a certain degree could do that job. I most certainly wasn't lying and am still in the same career almost 2 decades later. I will never forget the disdain it was written with by this snooty know-it-all (and how much it hurt as I was only 20 at the time).

I was also accused about lying about my religion because I'd also mentioned Christmas gifts (many of us living in the U.K. do still give Christmas gifts even if not Christian).

Curious to know what else you've been incorrectly accused of lying about online?

I was harangued by someone when I disclosed that at that moment I was an unmarried SAHM, and that I was leaving myself financially vulnerable etc. Even though I asked why an answer wasn't forthcoming

I think the question that was asked was ... if your a SAHM do you have access to your partners money.

Obviously the silly cow thought unmarried SAHM = someone destitute and totally reliant on the man for money

I don't think it had ever entered her little brain that someone could have their own assests, income and house and if there were to be a split that it would be the man out on his ear without a claim in the house

People have assumed I'm well off (I wish) and I've been called a misogynist because I don't automatically believe women are right/better/superior.

I got accused of having a urine fetish.
