    Last summer at the work staff party, someone started a rumour that I choke slammed a fat bird to the floor. That was a nice one to come back to the office and deal with - what's even worse is that people generally found it funny, including other women :o

    My aunts ex-fiancé thought I was gay many years ago when I was a teen nothing could be further from the truth.

    The smackhead who lived next door started putting rumours around that I was a rapist/murderer/kiddy-fiddler when we complained to the council about him.

    Even had it daubed across my car bonnet at one point.
    no idea what was used but, fortunately, it wiped right off.

    I was also ostracised and bullied for 4 years, at school, because I was accused of being "queer".

    The worst thing, by far, was being accused of being the same person as Woodbush by the inmates on dergs though.:blush:
    Seems their investigative techniques went as far as assuming that everybody on DS who lists their location as somewhere in Scotland must be the same person. :D:p

    Someone put my name forward to the police over a chinese take away which was robbed at gunpoint. The Police came around one morning at about 6am to speak to me and right away said I was not the person due to the description given. I had long hair at the time, I'm guessing the robber did not. Still to this day have no idea who put my name forward >:(

    I was shocked at first but laugh at it looking back.

    The woman at the canteen where I worked told everyone she'd seen me in town on Saturday afternoon and I was being arrested for being blind drunk. I asked her why she was telling people lies about me and she said "Well, I have to tell them something!"

    I made a complaint to her boss and she was forced to send an e-mail around apologising but afterwards kept moaning that I was a terrible person for making her out to be a liar!

    My nightmare ex-neighbour spread a tale that my partner was a heroin addict - in fact he had terminal cancer but that didn't stop the old cow telling people he'd died of an OD.

    She also used to tell everyone I was a prostitute and she knew this 'for a fact' because I left the house at 7pm most evenings and came back at around 8.30am. I was a nurse, on permanent nights.

    Probably the most false thing I ever heard about myself was that I gave a crap what other people thought of me. I really, REALLY don't.

    What a malicious, bitter, empty vessel of a bitch your neighbour must have been. That's terrible.

    I use to be a break dancer and carried my own cardboard mat around to do demonstrations in public areas. Quite a hilarious thought really!

    I was identified as Rufus Sewell's "mysterious girlfriend" in a caption of a photo of us in a newspaper years ago. I didn't even know Sewell.

    In reality: I was walking with my employer towards Charlotte Street Hotel when Sewell came round a corner. My boss recognised and greeted him. We kept on walking toward the hotel with him on my left, me in the middle and my boss on my right. Sewell and my boss chatted a little while I said nothing. Sewell and I didn't even say hello to each other.

    A photographer somehow spotted us from the hotel, came out and took photos of us. I moved round my boss onto the road. I thought the photographer was only interested in them two. The photographer left us alone once we entered the hotel. Sewell went off to meet with his agent and we went off to meet with the others. The whole thing lasted just a few minutes.

    And yet, next day, the newspaper cropped my boss out of a photo, to make it seem as if Sewell and I were alone together. It claimed we were dating and that we were on the way to a restaurant. A "source" claimed that we were so in love that marriage was on our cards. What the actual ****?

    That photo and claim got so many people emailing, phoning and asking me about our grand affair. Former school friends I hadn't seen or heard for years got in touch, too. Some didn't believe me when I said I didn't even know him. They thought I was lying to protect our so-called secret relationship. The worst part was when my mum rang me in tears, scolding me for hiding this wedding from her. This mess lasted about a month until people forgot my existence.

    my former employer (a nasty piece of work who ran 2 pubs) took upon it to tell everybody in the pub that I was pregnant. Me and my current partner met at one of his pubs and we did had a secret relationship before we both left at the same time as the pub was being sold so we were losing our jobs. Anyway we both decided we'd had enough and just didn't turn up for our shift one evening and so the rumours began. The opener found out about me and Danny and spun a whole heap of crap about me being pregnant and that we were stealing stock from the cellar. All lies ofcourse but he literally told everybody all this crap for months after

    A guy I met on holiday was convinced I was an actor from a Turkish soap opera and wouldn't be dissuaded despite my denials and all the evidence to the contrary.
