What's the best rumour someone has ever told you about yourself?!?

Question

One time this kid came up to me and told me he'd heard my dad was a serial killer and I could get him some crack cocaine?! What about you?

Answer 1

The one the spanish press released about my husband & I last year, that we were "Spains most prolific forgers" and that when we were arrested, "100's of passports and driving licences were found", truth was, 1 driving licence, mine, clean as a whistle and issued by DVLA with a certificate now to prove it and 1 passport, mine! which they have now said is real, should be, I've travelled all over the world on it! We are fighting the papers for comensation as we speak! This was syndicated to all spanish papers and the Uk tabloids

Answer 2

Couple of years ago, one of my younger brother's friends told me when I was a sixth former I was voted the coolest guy in school by the 1st formers. (I'm now 36 and socialise with him)
I never even knew they existed at that point, just struggling along like everyone else. I was a loner, who didn't care about anything, but I didn't abuse the youngsters.
Very strange to think of anyone looking up to me back then, because I was just a confused and scared little kid.
But man did it make me feel good.

Answer 3

I had lived overseas for 13 years and when l came back people would say,oh your living here again,oh did you leave your husband(no we are still happily married).I told an old friend that l was sick and tired of people making assumptions about my life and told her,what l would love to say to those people.I told her that next time some one asks me that,l feel like turning around and saying yes l left him for his brother,his brother is here with me and is amazing how my children are already calling them dad.I was only letting off a bit of steam,but my friend was talking to someone,and they asked how l was,and she told them,what l felt like saying.A couple of days later l went into town,and no l'm not a paranoid person,but l swear people were looking at me.Finally someone came up to me and said l should be ashamed of myself running off my my husbands brother.It's o.k now because every one has been set straight.

Answer 4

I cant believe im telling this, but my little brother told me that when we were teenagers there was a rumour going around that I had an abortion to this really skanky guy!!!
When I was really pissed off, my brother said well I never asked u in case it was true!!!
Not sure if Im more pissed off at the person who started the rumour or my brother for believing it!!

Answer 5

Answer 9

3 relating to the same incident;
That I was dead/Paralysed/In a coma after I'd got run over by a car. It was in fact the opposite, I got away with barely a scratch!

Sueflower: Likewise. I'm agnostic and apparently if I don't worship God, then I must worship Satan.

Erm...All the same stuff, really. That I was a whore, a cheat, etc. (I wasn't too popular at school.)
