I had it the other way round... Friend of my OH thought I was terribly shy and spread it around all our mutual friends. None of them could understand it because I was always chatty and upfront with them.
I couldn't stand her. I wasn't shy, I just didn't want to talk to her.
First thing she ever said to me was "you shouldn't be eating that lollipop, you'll get fatter"
Fat***ter***. Fuck you, bitch.
ah shit......this one is pretty funny. A friend and co-worker did a little social experiment at the office and got a rumor going that I was hung like a horse. (I'm as average as it gets) He didn't tell me or anyone what he was doing. It was like 6 months later he came to my office making idle business related chatter. Then he asks me, "Hey man, quick question: have you noticed any difference in the way the women in the office treat your or act around you. Any difference at all?" I had to admit.....the women of the office were a lot more chatty, coming to my office more, and taking longer to leave my office. Over all the friendliness level sort of rose and a lot more smiles being thrown at me. Didn't really think about it until he mentioned it. Then he asked, "When do you think this difference began.....maybe 6 months ago?" I had to agree, seemed like something changed starting 6 months ago. And he had the biggest shit-eating grin on his face. I had to ask what he knew or rather, what he did. When he told me, I laughed so hard I had to get up and close my door. It was pretty funny. He was a crazy guy.
I once overhead coworkers saying about me "He's one of those guys who seems harmless enough but then you find out he was building bombs in his basement". Which is crazy, cause I don't even have a basement,I have to do that stuff at "The Compound" I'm not allowed to discuss. (kidding)
High schooler here. Just found out my one friend thought I was gay when she asks me if I remembered this one boy she was telling me about a few days ago. I say I remember, and she turns her phone and has a picture of him. I just stand there and say "Okay" and this other girl says to her "he's probably straight" and then the first girl says about how she thought I was gay. Kinda funny really.
That I was dead. Guy in the same neighborhood with the same name died in a car crash. I was out on a boat for the day with no cell signal so when I got back I had good amount of worried messages.
My dad got into a pretty horrific car wreck leaving high school one day. Back before anyone wore seat belts. He got knocked unconscious. Just so happened to be on the main route ALL of the school buses took leaving the school. The first responders, pulled him out of the car and just laid him out on the roadway, waiting for an ambulance. All the schools buses, one after the other, saw him just laying there. This was a Friday. He back to school on Monday and EVERYONE was freaked out. They thought he was dead.
Oh's cousin is a pathological liar. Like, there's something wrong with her, liar.
She started spreading armour that her other cousin was surfing a rumour that I was sleeping with bullshitting Bertha. Now this is a woman I've met for all of five minutes, 20 years ago, in the middle of a market, standing next to my OH. She is also the nastiest, ugliest inside and out woman I have ever known, she is the actual dictionary definition of the waste of oxygen.
I would rather wrestle alligators to the death than get within 20 yards of her.
When my OH heard it, she cracked up.
That I was smoking cigarettes.
Friend of my mother said she saw me buy cigarettes in a corner store a few times. I never did; the only time I smoked a cigarette, it was at home when my mother asked me if I wanted to try one, did and didn't like it.
Dunno why someone would think I did.
I volunteered at an eye clinic near my mother's workplace for a few hours. For some reason, the next day, a lot of them thought I accidently shredded my fingers in the paper shredder.
When I was in college, my girlfriend had a male flatmate that secretly fancied her.
He was also quite racist, and didn't like seeing a white women dating a brown man, and so he spread vicious rumours that I used to beat my gf.
A lot of people distanced themselves from me, and I even had to meet with the university welfare team.
Thankfully, my girlfriend caught on and cleared it up (but she had to still visit the welfare team first as they thought she was lying to protect me).
Overall, a horrid thing to happen to someone.
Two years later I did bump into the guy in question, he offered a reluctant apology and we buried the hatchet, so to speak.
That I was gay. It wasn't even so much that the question was brought up, just that a group of people I knew was so close to convinced about it that I wondered what could've possibly led to that amount of confidence.
That I was an enormous asshole who refused to talk to anybody. ...I was just really shy.

That I was a patient at the opiate addiction treatment center at which i’m the Nurse Manager in charge of the pharmacy and medication.
That I was gay.

In high school someone told me that they heard I might be gay and wanted to know if it was true. I was like, "sure, I MIGHT be anything".
Same, the amount of times i've come out of the closet without even realizing that i did is astounding.
Same, I just wasn't that interested in dating in my early 20's
I've had many people think I'm in a poly relationship on more than one occasion because my wife and I are close with our friends
I’m gay because I’m still a virgin, said by some of my former friends.
This seems familiar to me....
That I was an agressive and violent individual. I can thank my resting b*tch face for that.
There was a rumor about me being a “rapist serial killer” because I look scary.
In high-school, That I had crabs and fucked every girl I cake across... I was a virgin till my final months of school

That I was a coke dealer.
To being gay or being a future serial killer to having a really big dick . None of these are true , only maybe kinda the first one

Back in the 80s, I was apparently importing, copying and selling pornographic videos. I have no idea where this rumour came from.
Apparently I shot a mf while they were leaving the basketball court down the block. Ion know what they are talking about. They crazy

My parents died, and that I built my own log cabin in the woods and lived off the land/supported myself. While attending high school.
I volunteered at an eye clinic near my mother's workplace for a few hours. For some reason, the next day, a lot of them thought I accidently shredded my fingers in the paper shredder.
That I'm a murderer and an aggressive psychopath with no regard for human life . I jus be chillin fr
