That I got caught having sex with my best friend in the walk-in freezer at work. She said we were on the floor of the freezer, eating each other out.
Trust me, those things are fucking cold, we kept ours at -15. Nobody is stripping down naked and lying on the bare ass steel floor to fuck.
One of the ladies who didn’t even work on our shift told her son it happened, and he told everyone at school. I actually had a teacher approach the subject with me and had to tell her that Kathy was a big fat liar.
That me & my partner were using someone else’s dorm room for sex. Turns out it started as a joke from a mutual friend and we nipped it in the bud quickly.
That I had gastric bypass surgery. I’ve always been a little heavy, but always agile and athletic. It was a question on Facebook high school class group. I replied, no I’m still fat.
Some kid at school spread around that I was seen kissing a girl somewhere in town. Weirdly, I was besotted with this girl and hoped it would lead to something happening so was acting offended when I was secretly grateful for the complete lie. Of course, nothing came of it, people brushed it off and I went back to being the mayor of friendtown to her.
I’ve always been kinda pale and when I was a kid I moved to a new high school in 2009 and a girl started a rumour I was the child actor from the movie Unborn
Edit: for the Americans, our high school starts at 11 in the UK
I learned that for a period of time some people thought I was the alcoholic.
This is hilarious because I don’t drink almost ever. I think the last time I took a sip of a beer was 1 year ago, then 1 year before that I had another sip, then before that I have no idea. I have drank to the point of drunk probably 5 times in my adult life and have only drank a handful more than that because I hate alcohol.
BUT there was a group of people that it turns out were with me like three of those five times that I was drunk and that was also the only time they were with me. So they just thought I was a drunk hahaha.
I was only with my boyfriend because he got me pregnant. I literally heard this from the person’s mouth because they were in the store where I worked and didn’t bother to check if I was working or not when gossiping about me. Turns out, I was “with” my boyfriend because I loved and cared about him, we got married and four years later I was pregnant.
That I left that particular workplace because I had stopped getting the kickbacks from the boss for all the extra work- I literally put the stationary orders away and decanted paper from the boxes into the ickle cupboard under the printers.
Most of my coworkers collectively thought I was gay for like the first 3 months (I’m definitely not gay). That rumor ended when one of the guys worked up the courage to ask me about it.
That I was actually a guy with a micro penis -I’m very much a girl with all the parts that go along with that. Apparently all the boys were discussing it. My ex told me and I was like “did you tell them they were wrong??” and he said no!!
That I was working for a drug cartel, during a time where I was unemployed. Honestly I wish, I was working for a drug cartel during that time, cause then would have had some income.
That I sucked someone’s dick while they played Halo.
Back in high school, apparently this rumor was spread about me by my ex that I went down on him while he played video games.
This was widely believed by many people in the grade above me.
I guess this would be embarrassing to a lot of people.. but what’s truly embarrassing is for him, that I never touched his dick once in anyway lol. I was too scared to do anything but kiss at that age. So weird and sad that he made that up? Lol.
Some dude i was mutuals with on twitter spent 9 or so months making fun of me for getting curved by my cousin.
Nothing remotely close to that happened. I kind of think he got curved by his cousin or something and decided to involve me in his fantasy when I tweeted about the time I emailed my cousin and got no response
The rumor was I was seeing the office manager on the down low. I never confirmed nor denied it, but the truth was… I was seeing the VP on the down low. No one ever figured it out
Back in July 2024, a rumor went around a building that I cross dress. At that point in time, I was a completely straight male with a beard and short hair.
That I was a lesbian because I wore a lot of flannels???? My school’s dress code required us to wear collared shirts so that was the easiest thing to wear other than a polo
Some people genuinely thought I was a lesbian, despite my numerous boyfriends in school outweighing my three girlfriends.
One a related note, rumor spread that I was planning on breaking up with one of said girlfriends before it had ever crossed my mind.
High school is weird.
Someone started a rumor that I was gay for a childhood friend, because they saw me laughing at something they said. The person claimed it was just her and her roommate who made the “joke” but someone I hadn’t seen in years brought it up to me
That I stole a motorcycle from my father’s garage 40 years ago. I confronted dad recently and he said that he didn’t know where that started and that he was never missing a motorcycle.
That I’d had sex with more than 30 coworkers in a single month. As the sole female, I was an easy target.
On another job, I was labeled a lesbian because I didn’t hang out with/date coworkers after hours. I had short hair and worked in engineering. (The thing is, I really didn’t like them! ) I began dating a guy in a different department and then heard I was trying to hide my ‘secret’ by dating a ‘clueless straight’ guy.
That I made the finals for American Ninja Warrior around 10 years ago. We were the new family at the elementary school and a few Moms thought they saw me in the show and I did well.
One Mom asked me about it a few years ago and I shook my head yes and asked her to please keep it private. It still comes up every year or so. I just laugh and don’t really give an answer now.
I’ve had nosey coworkers spread a rumor I was pregnant, twice. Different jobs.
First when I was 22 and ordered a Shirley temple at work happy hour. Reality is I just don’t drink, never have, they didn’t know that but made assumptions. Later a coworker admited they and my team watched my stomach for months afterwards and were surprised when I wasn’t pregnant.
Second, when I was 28 and put in my notice at a different job. One male colleague in his 70s had some old school idea that the only reason why women ever quit jobs is because they got pregnant or are getting married (aaaahhgggg). Before asking me why I was leaving he spread some rumor around the office, something like I was leaving because I was getting married in a shotgun wedding for reasons eye wiggle and moving away. I was single, not pregnant, not moving. He eventually asked me if I was pregnant and was shocked when I said I was leaving because I found a different job.
My life is not that exciting, guys. I just don’t drink and I wanted out of a toxic job – that is all.
I have my top 5 rumors that I’ve heard. LOL this may be long- I was a subject in the rumor mill in high school– I guess because I had cancer then? I don’t know. Here’s just some of the funniest and strangest ones i’ve ever heard.
I’m from Canada.
I was in a relationship with 7 guys at the same time. (This rumor stemmed from me hanging out with my brother and several of his friends which about 90 percent were male. They were all older but like brothers to me and I was like their little sister. In no way did any of us date. In fact, my boyfriend (now husband) was present during most of these outings. Honestly, the only thought I had after hearing this is “Who the fuck has that much energy?” )
I was secretly rich and only “acting poor” I have no idea why anyone would do this lol. My family were rich so they gave me a lot of name brand clothing as gifts but never in a million years would they financially help my parents aside from the fact that my grandfather bought the house that my family lived in and forced my parents to rent from him after a bad situation when I was young that could have resulted in me and my brother being homeless along with my parents. In fact, my grandfather’s exact words were “I don’t care if my dumbass son and his wife are homeless but I’ll be damned if my grandkids are.” So he bought them a house. Without asking. The fact that there was a rumor out there in the word that I was secretly rich was probably the single funniest thing I had ever heard in my life.
I was in a very famous band. (I grew up in the whole “scene” era. In this time there was a popular Canadian band that my brother and I hung out with. This is because in their travels they were in need of a new roadie. My brother took up that role for them. A lot of their shows were local Midwest based shows. So they often frequented similar area or the same venue. I suppose this may have also aided in the “She’s from Canada” rumor. I am not from Canada. In fact, I don’t even have a passport and have never been to even so close as the border of Canada.)
I went on a blind date with Andy Biersack. (The lead to Black Veil Brides) OKAY for context I had cancer when I was about 15 years old ( as stated. I was a scene kid). For whatever reason- someone decided to put out there that I went on a blind date with Andy from BVB for my Make A Wish. I have been to about 3 BVB shows since the early 2010’s and on and I can almost 1000 percent tell you that other than maybe being about 25 feet from the stage and crossing paths on the way to walking back to my ride. I have never even MET Andy Biersack lol! I don’t necessarily have any sort of “wish” to meet Andy either. I actually did have a Make A Wish and I used my wish to go on a shopping spree with my best friend and to go out to eat on a lavish meal (including a limo) with my family LOL! So like.. Nope. Never did this happen. Why did anyone make a rumor about this? Don’t ask me. I was weirdly a rumor mill subject in high school. For whatever reason people found the topic of me doing strange and un-like me things interesting. Especially, considering the fact that I am shy and would never even agree to meet Andy because I’d probably internally freak the ever living fuck out.
Some girl that I barely knew spread the rumor that I dropped out of high school because I was pregnant and wasn’t telling anyone.
I had moved to the nontrad high school because I was insanely sick and had dropped to about 90lbs so definitely didn’t fit the description. Plus I kept in contact with my actual friends and they knew there was no truth to her story.
It was just super weird because I barely knew this girls name much less why she would latch onto me.
In high school there was another girl with the same first name, so people thought I had multiple abortions sophomore year and it was actually her, so that was weird that people talked shit about me for no reason
That being quiet or different is equivalent on being a bad person,
before an “introvert” word was not yet popular or understood by many, they interpret it as being moody or bad human.
A supervisor once thought a coworker and I utterly despised each other.
“Hey, before you go on vacation, I hate to ask this, but can you train Mike to do <xyz task I was really good at>?” “Yeah no problem.” “Really? I was nervous about even putting you two in the same room.”
Mike and I never even did so much as raise a voice to one another. No idea what the supe was smoking; Mike and I both had a good chuckle about it though when I was training him to do the thing.
That I was an alcoholic and was drunk most days in high school. This was all because I am extremely clumsy. I would trip over nothing, fall while standing still, crash into things, fell down the stairs multiple times, struggle to walk on a flat surface (this was also before I learned my sight is terrible so I couldn’t really even see the ground in front of me)
I was even called to a meeting with the counselor and school doctor for my alcoholism.
The thing is I never drink didn’t in high school and I don’t now, just never started, since it is dangerous to mix with a medicine I need to take
My brother and I are three years apart, which meant we had a lot of overlapping ages of friends as we got older. We went to college in cities about 20 minutes apart, with some shared acquaintances—think his friends’ younger sisters going to my school.
He and his friends would always throw big parties and invite their siblings. But my brother never wanted me around because he thought I’d tattle (which makes no sense). When his friends asked why I was never invited, he would tell them I was severely depressed.
I’m a charismatic and fun as hell. At times, I’d say even more so than my brother—so hearing that was really shocking. I only found out because someone we both knew told me, “I don’t know why your brother thinks you’re depressed,” after meeting me.
Ex best friend/ roommate told our mutuals that I was stealing money from her and keeping her trapped in the house. When in reality the money I was “stealing” was just the rent that she paid to live with me, and I have no idea where the trapped narrative came from. We were both adults but she was always starting and quitting jobs, and would stay holed up in her room whenever she was between jobs while I was working full time the whole time.
Que me acostaba con un profe en la universidad. La verdad es que eso nunca ocurrió, a tal punto que perdí esa clase y tuve que pagar los créditos para repetirla al semestre siguiente. Sorpresa, la gente seguía diciendo que me acostaba con el tipo
– I was having sex with the guy who stopped at my desk to make small talk during lunch (happened exactly ONCE.)
– I was having an affair with the finance manager (because we had a closed-door meeting to discuss company finances that affected business deals going on in my department, which I had to process paperwork for)
– I was being fired for those affairs (because I had a closed-door meeting with my direct supervisor – it was actually my annual performance review, so a closed-door meeting was the norm for these – and I was getting a raise for excellent performance, not being fired)
– I drove a big conversion van because I was using it to have sex in during lunch (seriously…the sex rumors were getting old now. I drove that van because my parents let me use it while my car was in the shop)
– I was coming in to work on Saturdays when the building was empty so I could have sex with a co-worker without being caught (right – that’s why my 3 kids came with me every time I had to come in on a Saturday)
I wasn’t the only one getting hit by the rumors – this happened to every single woman who worked there, unless she was retirement age. If she was under 50, she was fair game for the rumors. Women were the minority in this company, with only about 20-30 working in a company with 850 employees.
I was never so glad to leave a job in my life. I’ve never seen a place with such an active rumor mill. It was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.
That I was kidnapped (when I was 13) and the next day when I showed up at school everyone was crying and hugging me cause they all thought I was killed💀
That I tried to pick up co – worker and made her my gf, while everyone (including me) knew, that she has a boyfriend and she’s in a long – term relationship with him.
It made me very upset, because I liked her a lot and I even felt for her a little for a while but since the begging of her career at our company, I had no further intensions than „close friends”.
Unluckily it turned out that I’am the worst cunt and „girlfriend thief” possible + once I sent her an Lil Peep tune but of course instead of asking me, she misinterpreted my intentions and understood it that „I called her a bitch”, complete insanity.
As You can imagine, later on a few versions of „what happened between me and her” were circulating around workplace, definitely becoming a gossip of the year. Main and favourite one was: Me is a very bad person and dickhead, because he DEFINITELY TRIED to pick her up but she laugh it off and refused, so he called her „bitch” and other, bad names, he’s complete rubbish.
Gossips can be really harmful and I’ve learned my lessons as well. I wasn’t clever, because no one is but taking revenge to the certain level, knowing it’s fake but still pushing it through with full confidence and coldest calculation possible is just pure evil.
It’s been over a year by now since it happened and still they can be very mean to me, because of that gossip but I just withdrawn from any kind of relations with them, so I don’t give a fuck really.
In high school, some rumor started that I was on crack bc I was so hyper and kinda quirky weird. But I actually just drank a lot of coffee. And was also just quirky and weird.
I dealt with my girlfriends stalker and got him to leave her alone, but he spread the rumor around that one of my friends girlfriends was cheating on him with me. These women happen to be in the same field of work, but are from two completely different countries and work for two completely different companies. I despise cheating and my friends knew this, I’ve completely cut people off for even talking about cheating on their partners.
Unfortunately they believed the stalker over me, so I lost an entire friend group of about 7 years.
That I was a prostitute. Got hit up by dudes in my grade because of it, and got asked about it so frequently it’s one of the reasons I changed schools. 🙁 I am/was 15
At my last job it was rumored that I was stealing male enhancement pills! Every person there knew that 1. I am a woman and 2. My husband has a heart condition that makes taking that kinda thing dangerous so he doesn’t
That I died from an overdose. I had moved across the country. Found out when I came back for a visit and ran into some people at the mall who were astounded that I was alive.
In grad school there was intense speculation that myself and a classmate were dating. Best I could tell the rumors were due solely to the fact we were each single and that i left a monthly party/social with my classmate and her roommates that was held on campus. We weren’t even close friends nor hung out much.
It was so bizarre when in the weeks after people were saying “I heard you and ____ were dating”. People just be bored.
That 5 months later we would in fact start to date and ultimately get married (7 years together now) is entirely irrelevant and coincidental. 🙂
last year i got into an argument with some guy at the gym who screamed about me being ‘a tranny.’ found out months later that the staff thought i was transgender since then. i bet most of em still do. 🤷♀️
I was cheating on my boyfriend with my best friend. The funny part was that years ago I told people she and I were dating because she couldn’t get a creepy ex off her back. We hung out together all the time so I think they thought we were still together and I was just cheating on her or something? The funnier part? She’s friends with my boyfriend.
That I was Jewish. No malice in it, but for some reason I had to deny being Jewish for like 2 years in high school. Probably to do with my thick curly black hair.
I started going to the gym after graduating high school, and slimmed up quite a bit. Later I started dating a girl who graduated a year after me, and one of her friends tried to sabotage the relationship because I was “clearly on meth…” I had never touched the stuff, still haven’t and never will. Fuck you Amber, you fat cow!
That I had a weird gangbang with some creep and my friends while on a camping trip OR that I’m waiting to be with my husband long enough to take half his stuff.
That I was pregnant sophomore year of high school. I was a huuuuuuuge virgin lol. Apparently some girl at another school got pregnant (only a topic of conversation because gasp! Catholic school) and the admins in the office were talking about it. Some dumb bitch in my class was in there at the time and overheard but thought she heard my name, and told everyone in school. I found out when my neighbor across the street, who was a grade ahead of me, called me and tried to casually get it out of me. When I finally asked her why she was asking me such weird questions, she was like, “Wait, so it’s not true????” 😂
As part of a silly high school prank, I got pushed over and fractured my wrist. I went to the emergency room and had the rest of the day off school.
I came back to school the next day to hear rumours that I’d started fighting the guy who’d pushed me, that I’d fought so hard that I broke my wrist punching him that hard.
I work in Healthcare so its an office full of women and I’m literally the only male. I started the rumor that I’m well endowed..I am not..seemed like a good idea at the time.
My brother is evil he convinced me I was adopted and no one would ever love me. He convinced my roommates in college to pretend they couldn’t see me. Seriously they tried to walk through me!! I got super depressed and thought about ending my self. My priest noticed the change in me and recommended I come see him to talk. To this day I have an irrational fear people can’t see me. I ask my best friend all the time you can see me right.
I heard a rumor in high school that I was having regular, filthy sex with the hottest girl in my graduating class. (Literally, she was voted “Most Attractive” for our senior superlatives.) I was so embarrassed that I stopped talking to her so the rumors wouldn’t keep spreading and she wouldn’t assume I was the one who started them.
It wasn’t until about ten years later that I realized she was the one going around falsely claiming that she was fucking me. I’m still angry at myself for not realizing earlier.
That I was pregnant (pregnancy rumors were really common when I was in high school for whatever reason) took a test to prove that I wasn’t and found out I was indeed pregnant.
In high school this girl I was (kind of?) friends with told people I was “stalking” my best friend at the time and I was obsessed with him. She told people the only reason we were friends was because I was stalking him. Meanwhile he was obsessed with me to such an uncomfortable extreme I had to cut him off as an adult😭
Can’t forget the classics that I worship satan and don’t speak at all.
That I had a cocaine addiction thus why I lost so much weight. Though the truth was, I was walking everywhere. I lived in walking distance to get places (for instance to work or the grocery store) and saved money on not using my car. Plus, grieving the loss of my best friend of 16 years really didn’t make me have an appetite to eat.
I went to school with a girl who was a compulsive liar. Me and this girl became really good friends through her, and we both got talking about all her lies. She told this girl that I bathed in purple chicken skin 🤷🏻♀️
That I used to “put a lot of stuff up my nose” with a girl I barely knew. She reported this to my ex boyfriend and it had been like 5 years since we’d seen each other. Also she was running for political office at the time lol.
People said I stayed at my job for the money. I was a pastor in Northern VA making $50k/year when the median household income was $110k living in a $1600/month tiny townhouse.
My parents moved my senior year of high school. New senior, thought it was weird no one decided to try and “mess” with the new student. Cause bullying and more was an issue, but no body even tried. Found out through my best friend at my graduation there was a rumor I got out of juvie for stbbing someone 😭
When I was in HS, a rumor spread that I was in county lockup for committing some sort of petty crime.
In reality, another student and I were doing a tour of the county jail for a story for the school newspaper. People asked my best friend where I was and he just told people I was in jail and no other details. That’s all it took for people to create elaborate stories as to how / why that happened. Even my band teacher believed it.
The funny thing is I was so obviously not the type of kid to have any kind of encounter with the law. But people believed it anyway.
At the time I was 25ish training a 21ish year old new hire, we’re both dudes and I was engaged to my now wife. A much older co worker told my trainee “don’t get too close, he’s pretty ghey.” Trainee was awkward for like 2 weeks around me till I found out. We all got a good laugh!
I ran into a former coworker at a pet store several years after she had retired. When she spotted me in the store, she looked shocked because she said that she heard I had died. Turns out that there was another person with the same first and last name as me that lived in the same town as I did at the time.
That I was dead. I moved provinces when I was 12 & moved back to my original province & same area in the city 5 years later. When I started high school there were a bunch of kids I grew up with since I was 5 who went there & they all said they heard I got into a fight a couple years ago & died. Dumbest thing was my sister had all ready been attending that school for a year & no one asked her anything about it.
My mom had a long term work project that moved us to another state for 6 months. When I came back, I was in the 8th grade. I figured I’d pick right back up with my friends and everything would be fine! (This is before texting was the norm, no social media) no one would speak to me, I got shoved a lot, people were just mean.
Apparently I had moved away to have a baby because I got knocked up by a 30 year old. News to me.
That I was a huge slut. A popular guy on my high school’s hockey team started it after he tried to feel me up during a date after I’d told him I wasn’t into it. He went for it anyways after I said no twice, so I punched him in the face. Came to school Monday and everyone was talking about how I’d slept with the entire hockey team. I was a virgin.
I am a black woman. With black parents, black friends and a black spouse who grew up in a black neighborhood with majority black classmates, coworkers, bosses and mentors. The rumor was so shitty that two people I work with & wasn’t particularly close to reported the woman & raised other concerns about her behavior. She was fired by the end of the week. I never even bothered to defend myself bc…wtf!!?!😂
It later came out that she was also making disparaging comments about my color(I’m fair-toned), which was also reported and probably more than likely part of the reason she was fired(open prejudice). I’m unsure to this day why she fixated on me but it was…interesting to say the least lol
Comments
that i was the 867th busy opportunity
I wish I were that interesting for a rumor to be spread about me haha.
That a had a thing with a guy from 2 classes higher 😂 only cuz he helped me with homework
That I was a lesbian
that i sell drugs😭😭
That I was a lesbian (I was in kindergarten at the time) lol
That I got caught having sex with my best friend in the walk-in freezer at work. She said we were on the floor of the freezer, eating each other out.
Trust me, those things are fucking cold, we kept ours at -15. Nobody is stripping down naked and lying on the bare ass steel floor to fuck.
One of the ladies who didn’t even work on our shift told her son it happened, and he told everyone at school. I actually had a teacher approach the subject with me and had to tell her that Kathy was a big fat liar.
That I shaved my arsehole. I don’t
That me & my partner were using someone else’s dorm room for sex. Turns out it started as a joke from a mutual friend and we nipped it in the bud quickly.
That I had a rib removed so I could suck my own dick
That I was dead. Found out who and why they started it, thought it was hilarious, then just went along with it.
That my senior manager thought I’d put a spell on her – she sent her husband to ask me to remove it.
That I was a satanist
One time I went radio silent for a month because I broke my phone and a bunch of my friends thought I was dead
That I used to be a model. Truth is, I still am a model.
That I slept with a guy I worked with at summer camp… he started the rumor. The irony is that I had a crush on him all summer.
That I had gastric bypass surgery. I’ve always been a little heavy, but always agile and athletic. It was a question on Facebook high school class group. I replied, no I’m still fat.
There have been so many, but the one that boggled my mind the most:
In HS a girl was telling everyone that I slept with her. Worst part, I couldn’t get laid to save my life, so I totally would have.
That my parents bought me my house and my cars. They never even paid for me go to to school, lol.
Some kid at school spread around that I was seen kissing a girl somewhere in town. Weirdly, I was besotted with this girl and hoped it would lead to something happening so was acting offended when I was secretly grateful for the complete lie. Of course, nothing came of it, people brushed it off and I went back to being the mayor of friendtown to her.
I’ve always been kinda pale and when I was a kid I moved to a new high school in 2009 and a girl started a rumour I was the child actor from the movie Unborn
Edit: for the Americans, our high school starts at 11 in the UK
That I was a smoker, it’s strange because that’s very unlike me because I’m a huge health freak
I learned that for a period of time some people thought I was the alcoholic.
This is hilarious because I don’t drink almost ever. I think the last time I took a sip of a beer was 1 year ago, then 1 year before that I had another sip, then before that I have no idea. I have drank to the point of drunk probably 5 times in my adult life and have only drank a handful more than that because I hate alcohol.
BUT there was a group of people that it turns out were with me like three of those five times that I was drunk and that was also the only time they were with me. So they just thought I was a drunk hahaha.
Rumor went around in middle school describing me as infertile. Absolutely baseless. Kids are weird.
i fucked this guys for his airpods in grade 11.
like god forbid i forget my headphones and someone lends me a pair during class 😭
That I gave head to this guy who was older than me BUT I DIDNT I JUST MADE OUT WITH HIM
I told people I was a vegetarian so apparently that meant I ate rats…..guess rats aren’t meat rofl
That I’m apart of the deep state and paid by the Clinton’s and George soros. Honestly, I wish lol
A rumor went around my workplace when I first started that I was divorced. I was like 23 when I got hired and have no idea where that came from
I am a member of the KKK. I am in some secret society. I am dating certain people at work….and the list goes on…
I was only with my boyfriend because he got me pregnant. I literally heard this from the person’s mouth because they were in the store where I worked and didn’t bother to check if I was working or not when gossiping about me. Turns out, I was “with” my boyfriend because I loved and cared about him, we got married and four years later I was pregnant.
That I slept around 😂 I was a virgin at the time and had kissed one guy
That I’m a scammer 😂
That I was bisexual (I’m straight)
My future wife was told I had a kid with a woman I had never met. Who spread this? I don’t know to this day.
That I left that particular workplace because I had stopped getting the kickbacks from the boss for all the extra work- I literally put the stationary orders away and decanted paper from the boxes into the ickle cupboard under the printers.
I think the only rumors I heard that weren’t true were the ones saying I’d slept with someone that I didn’t. Which happened twice.
Most of my coworkers collectively thought I was gay for like the first 3 months (I’m definitely not gay). That rumor ended when one of the guys worked up the courage to ask me about it.
I was going to shoot up my school, this rumor came from girls that bullied me for my ADHD and I never really hated anyone (but my 5th grade teacher).
That I was having a torrid affair with a woman from a neighbouring community — a woman who I had never met!
That my wife was a stripper when i married her. . No lie college friends said that after my divorce. So wtf?
That I was actually a guy with a micro penis -I’m very much a girl with all the parts that go along with that. Apparently all the boys were discussing it. My ex told me and I was like “did you tell them they were wrong??” and he said no!!
That I was working for a drug cartel, during a time where I was unemployed. Honestly I wish, I was working for a drug cartel during that time, cause then would have had some income.
That I was having a fling with a dude about 3x my age. Didn’t help when the dude was a major creep
That I sucked someone’s dick while they played Halo.
Back in high school, apparently this rumor was spread about me by my ex that I went down on him while he played video games.
This was widely believed by many people in the grade above me.
I guess this would be embarrassing to a lot of people.. but what’s truly embarrassing is for him, that I never touched his dick once in anyway lol. I was too scared to do anything but kiss at that age. So weird and sad that he made that up? Lol.
That I had a girlfriend 🙁
Fun fact: I really got one – just the day after I heard the rumor :3
Some dude i was mutuals with on twitter spent 9 or so months making fun of me for getting curved by my cousin.
Nothing remotely close to that happened. I kind of think he got curved by his cousin or something and decided to involve me in his fantasy when I tweeted about the time I emailed my cousin and got no response
The rumor was I was seeing the office manager on the down low. I never confirmed nor denied it, but the truth was… I was seeing the VP on the down low. No one ever figured it out
Back in July 2024, a rumor went around a building that I cross dress. At that point in time, I was a completely straight male with a beard and short hair.
That I was a lesbian because I wore a lot of flannels???? My school’s dress code required us to wear collared shirts so that was the easiest thing to wear other than a polo
Some people genuinely thought I was a lesbian, despite my numerous boyfriends in school outweighing my three girlfriends.
One a related note, rumor spread that I was planning on breaking up with one of said girlfriends before it had ever crossed my mind.
High school is weird.
Someone started a rumor that I was gay for a childhood friend, because they saw me laughing at something they said. The person claimed it was just her and her roommate who made the “joke” but someone I hadn’t seen in years brought it up to me
That I killed someone.
That I had talked bad about my classmate. The teacher believed the rumor and made me apologize to the person I had “talked bad” about.
In middle school I was very modest. So when I heard I’d stripped naked and ran around the school, it was a bit of a shock lol
That I stole a motorcycle from my father’s garage 40 years ago. I confronted dad recently and he said that he didn’t know where that started and that he was never missing a motorcycle.
That I was in the witness protection program.
I got a big pp
That I’d had sex with more than 30 coworkers in a single month. As the sole female, I was an easy target.
On another job, I was labeled a lesbian because I didn’t hang out with/date coworkers after hours. I had short hair and worked in engineering. (The thing is, I really didn’t like them! ) I began dating a guy in a different department and then heard I was trying to hide my ‘secret’ by dating a ‘clueless straight’ guy.
I have a high tolerance to low temperatures. In high school, it was rumored I was a failed genetics experiment.
Someone said I stabbed Someone, but all I stabbed was a cardboard chocolate milk carton. I still got suspended.
That I made the finals for American Ninja Warrior around 10 years ago. We were the new family at the elementary school and a few Moms thought they saw me in the show and I did well.
One Mom asked me about it a few years ago and I shook my head yes and asked her to please keep it private. It still comes up every year or so. I just laugh and don’t really give an answer now.
I’m starting to believe it myself. 😝
That I sucked a cock and was filmed. I’m straight and was a virgin at the time.
I’ve had nosey coworkers spread a rumor I was pregnant, twice. Different jobs.
First when I was 22 and ordered a Shirley temple at work happy hour. Reality is I just don’t drink, never have, they didn’t know that but made assumptions. Later a coworker admited they and my team watched my stomach for months afterwards and were surprised when I wasn’t pregnant.
Second, when I was 28 and put in my notice at a different job. One male colleague in his 70s had some old school idea that the only reason why women ever quit jobs is because they got pregnant or are getting married (aaaahhgggg). Before asking me why I was leaving he spread some rumor around the office, something like I was leaving because I was getting married in a shotgun wedding for reasons eye wiggle and moving away. I was single, not pregnant, not moving. He eventually asked me if I was pregnant and was shocked when I said I was leaving because I found a different job.
My life is not that exciting, guys. I just don’t drink and I wanted out of a toxic job – that is all.
That I’m a Lesbian. Because I prefer my hair shorter. And I bought a Subaru. Since when is that the official car of the LGBTQ community?
I have my top 5 rumors that I’ve heard. LOL this may be long- I was a subject in the rumor mill in high school– I guess because I had cancer then? I don’t know. Here’s just some of the funniest and strangest ones i’ve ever heard.
I’m from Canada.
I was in a relationship with 7 guys at the same time. (This rumor stemmed from me hanging out with my brother and several of his friends which about 90 percent were male. They were all older but like brothers to me and I was like their little sister. In no way did any of us date. In fact, my boyfriend (now husband) was present during most of these outings. Honestly, the only thought I had after hearing this is “Who the fuck has that much energy?” )
I was secretly rich and only “acting poor” I have no idea why anyone would do this lol. My family were rich so they gave me a lot of name brand clothing as gifts but never in a million years would they financially help my parents aside from the fact that my grandfather bought the house that my family lived in and forced my parents to rent from him after a bad situation when I was young that could have resulted in me and my brother being homeless along with my parents. In fact, my grandfather’s exact words were “I don’t care if my dumbass son and his wife are homeless but I’ll be damned if my grandkids are.” So he bought them a house. Without asking. The fact that there was a rumor out there in the word that I was secretly rich was probably the single funniest thing I had ever heard in my life.
I was in a very famous band. (I grew up in the whole “scene” era. In this time there was a popular Canadian band that my brother and I hung out with. This is because in their travels they were in need of a new roadie. My brother took up that role for them. A lot of their shows were local Midwest based shows. So they often frequented similar area or the same venue. I suppose this may have also aided in the “She’s from Canada” rumor. I am not from Canada. In fact, I don’t even have a passport and have never been to even so close as the border of Canada.)
I went on a blind date with Andy Biersack. (The lead to Black Veil Brides) OKAY for context I had cancer when I was about 15 years old ( as stated. I was a scene kid). For whatever reason- someone decided to put out there that I went on a blind date with Andy from BVB for my Make A Wish. I have been to about 3 BVB shows since the early 2010’s and on and I can almost 1000 percent tell you that other than maybe being about 25 feet from the stage and crossing paths on the way to walking back to my ride. I have never even MET Andy Biersack lol! I don’t necessarily have any sort of “wish” to meet Andy either. I actually did have a Make A Wish and I used my wish to go on a shopping spree with my best friend and to go out to eat on a lavish meal (including a limo) with my family LOL! So like.. Nope. Never did this happen. Why did anyone make a rumor about this? Don’t ask me. I was weirdly a rumor mill subject in high school. For whatever reason people found the topic of me doing strange and un-like me things interesting. Especially, considering the fact that I am shy and would never even agree to meet Andy because I’d probably internally freak the ever living fuck out.
That my brother and I ate fried chicken together twice a week in the law school parking lot after classes ended for the day.
It was cookies btw.
When I was seven someone at my camp started telling people I had a personal chef.
That I quitting even when I made it adamantly clear I’m staying.
Some girl that I barely knew spread the rumor that I dropped out of high school because I was pregnant and wasn’t telling anyone.
I had moved to the nontrad high school because I was insanely sick and had dropped to about 90lbs so definitely didn’t fit the description. Plus I kept in contact with my actual friends and they knew there was no truth to her story.
It was just super weird because I barely knew this girls name much less why she would latch onto me.
In high school there was another girl with the same first name, so people thought I had multiple abortions sophomore year and it was actually her, so that was weird that people talked shit about me for no reason
That I was a Russian agent. Weird.
In high school, I was close with one teacher, and he told me another teacher said I came to school drunk. I didn’t even drink at that time.
That being quiet or different is equivalent on being a bad person,
before an “introvert” word was not yet popular or understood by many, they interpret it as being moody or bad human.
I changed high schools at the end of grade 9. Some folks in my previous school said I had died. I didn’t tell anyone I was changing.
A supervisor once thought a coworker and I utterly despised each other.
“Hey, before you go on vacation, I hate to ask this, but can you train Mike to do <xyz task I was really good at>?” “Yeah no problem.” “Really? I was nervous about even putting you two in the same room.”
Mike and I never even did so much as raise a voice to one another. No idea what the supe was smoking; Mike and I both had a good chuckle about it though when I was training him to do the thing.
I hit a pedestrian while drunk driving and they died. I was told this at a bar, by a bartender.
That I was an alcoholic and was drunk most days in high school. This was all because I am extremely clumsy. I would trip over nothing, fall while standing still, crash into things, fell down the stairs multiple times, struggle to walk on a flat surface (this was also before I learned my sight is terrible so I couldn’t really even see the ground in front of me)
I was even called to a meeting with the counselor and school doctor for my alcoholism.
The thing is I never drink didn’t in high school and I don’t now, just never started, since it is dangerous to mix with a medicine I need to take
My brother and I are three years apart, which meant we had a lot of overlapping ages of friends as we got older. We went to college in cities about 20 minutes apart, with some shared acquaintances—think his friends’ younger sisters going to my school.
He and his friends would always throw big parties and invite their siblings. But my brother never wanted me around because he thought I’d tattle (which makes no sense). When his friends asked why I was never invited, he would tell them I was severely depressed.
I’m a charismatic and fun as hell. At times, I’d say even more so than my brother—so hearing that was really shocking. I only found out because someone we both knew told me, “I don’t know why your brother thinks you’re depressed,” after meeting me.
That I had killed myself.
That I slept with a teacher who I was being a teacher aid for in my senior year of high school.
That I was an innocent good girl 😇😈😈😈
Ex best friend/ roommate told our mutuals that I was stealing money from her and keeping her trapped in the house. When in reality the money I was “stealing” was just the rent that she paid to live with me, and I have no idea where the trapped narrative came from. We were both adults but she was always starting and quitting jobs, and would stay holed up in her room whenever she was between jobs while I was working full time the whole time.
Que me acostaba con un profe en la universidad. La verdad es que eso nunca ocurrió, a tal punto que perdí esa clase y tuve que pagar los créditos para repetirla al semestre siguiente. Sorpresa, la gente seguía diciendo que me acostaba con el tipo
Definitely that I was a big time drug dealer. I wasn’t even drinking at the time.
In college someone started the rumor that my penis is huge (I swear I didn’t start the rumor)
Im lying about my mom being dead because shes in prison
All of these occurred at my old workplace:
– I was having sex with the guy who stopped at my desk to make small talk during lunch (happened exactly ONCE.)
– I was having an affair with the finance manager (because we had a closed-door meeting to discuss company finances that affected business deals going on in my department, which I had to process paperwork for)
– I was being fired for those affairs (because I had a closed-door meeting with my direct supervisor – it was actually my annual performance review, so a closed-door meeting was the norm for these – and I was getting a raise for excellent performance, not being fired)
– I drove a big conversion van because I was using it to have sex in during lunch (seriously…the sex rumors were getting old now. I drove that van because my parents let me use it while my car was in the shop)
– I was coming in to work on Saturdays when the building was empty so I could have sex with a co-worker without being caught (right – that’s why my 3 kids came with me every time I had to come in on a Saturday)
I wasn’t the only one getting hit by the rumors – this happened to every single woman who worked there, unless she was retirement age. If she was under 50, she was fair game for the rumors. Women were the minority in this company, with only about 20-30 working in a company with 850 employees.
I was never so glad to leave a job in my life. I’ve never seen a place with such an active rumor mill. It was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.
That I was kidnapped (when I was 13) and the next day when I showed up at school everyone was crying and hugging me cause they all thought I was killed💀
That I was engaged to my coworker. We’re just really good friends and we found it hilarious that the students thought I made enough to buy the ring.
That I stuffed socks in my underwear in high school to make myself appear well-endowed.
That I tried to pick up co – worker and made her my gf, while everyone (including me) knew, that she has a boyfriend and she’s in a long – term relationship with him.
It made me very upset, because I liked her a lot and I even felt for her a little for a while but since the begging of her career at our company, I had no further intensions than „close friends”.
Unluckily it turned out that I’am the worst cunt and „girlfriend thief” possible + once I sent her an Lil Peep tune but of course instead of asking me, she misinterpreted my intentions and understood it that „I called her a bitch”, complete insanity.
As You can imagine, later on a few versions of „what happened between me and her” were circulating around workplace, definitely becoming a gossip of the year. Main and favourite one was: Me is a very bad person and dickhead, because he DEFINITELY TRIED to pick her up but she laugh it off and refused, so he called her „bitch” and other, bad names, he’s complete rubbish.
Gossips can be really harmful and I’ve learned my lessons as well. I wasn’t clever, because no one is but taking revenge to the certain level, knowing it’s fake but still pushing it through with full confidence and coldest calculation possible is just pure evil.
It’s been over a year by now since it happened and still they can be very mean to me, because of that gossip but I just withdrawn from any kind of relations with them, so I don’t give a fuck really.
In high school, some rumor started that I was on crack bc I was so hyper and kinda quirky weird. But I actually just drank a lot of coffee. And was also just quirky and weird.
That I was gay for a big black guy in my school 🏫🎒
I dealt with my girlfriends stalker and got him to leave her alone, but he spread the rumor around that one of my friends girlfriends was cheating on him with me. These women happen to be in the same field of work, but are from two completely different countries and work for two completely different companies. I despise cheating and my friends knew this, I’ve completely cut people off for even talking about cheating on their partners.
Unfortunately they believed the stalker over me, so I lost an entire friend group of about 7 years.
That I was a prostitute. Got hit up by dudes in my grade because of it, and got asked about it so frequently it’s one of the reasons I changed schools. 🙁 I am/was 15
I had been permanently crippled in an accident and was living in the woods with my boyfriend caring for me.
I had hurt my knee, but healed and got back to work bartending to the absolute shock of several patrons.
At my last job it was rumored that I was stealing male enhancement pills! Every person there knew that 1. I am a woman and 2. My husband has a heart condition that makes taking that kinda thing dangerous so he doesn’t
It was very interesting to hear about cuz wtf
That I died from an overdose. I had moved across the country. Found out when I came back for a visit and ran into some people at the mall who were astounded that I was alive.
I had a wife I was unwilling to bring to work events. I was unmarried
That I had sex with a girl in our high school bathroom
Even though the reality was I was pussy repellant back then so it never made sense to me how that even came to be
I heard I was albino once. I’m not albino, just light hair and light eyes.
In grad school there was intense speculation that myself and a classmate were dating. Best I could tell the rumors were due solely to the fact we were each single and that i left a monthly party/social with my classmate and her roommates that was held on campus. We weren’t even close friends nor hung out much.
It was so bizarre when in the weeks after people were saying “I heard you and ____ were dating”. People just be bored.
That 5 months later we would in fact start to date and ultimately get married (7 years together now) is entirely irrelevant and coincidental. 🙂
He is the bogeyman
last year i got into an argument with some guy at the gym who screamed about me being ‘a tranny.’ found out months later that the staff thought i was transgender since then. i bet most of em still do. 🤷♀️
That I couldn’t have kids (surprise, I have 3) 😆
Guys help me help help i’m stuck this map
I was cheating on my boyfriend with my best friend. The funny part was that years ago I told people she and I were dating because she couldn’t get a creepy ex off her back. We hung out together all the time so I think they thought we were still together and I was just cheating on her or something? The funnier part? She’s friends with my boyfriend.
That I was Jewish. No malice in it, but for some reason I had to deny being Jewish for like 2 years in high school. Probably to do with my thick curly black hair.
I started going to the gym after graduating high school, and slimmed up quite a bit. Later I started dating a girl who graduated a year after me, and one of her friends tried to sabotage the relationship because I was “clearly on meth…” I had never touched the stuff, still haven’t and never will. Fuck you Amber, you fat cow!
I have 4 bfs, 2 sex buddies at the same time. I haven’t left the house in 10 years xD
That my lesbian lover murdered me. I’m straight and single. 🤔🤔
I asked somebody who the richest person they’ve ever met was. They said “you”.
When I was 12, I missed class for 2 days and when I got back, all my classmates thought I’d committed suicide for some reason.
That I had a weird gangbang with some creep and my friends while on a camping trip OR that I’m waiting to be with my husband long enough to take half his stuff.
That I was pregnant sophomore year of high school. I was a huuuuuuuge virgin lol. Apparently some girl at another school got pregnant (only a topic of conversation because gasp! Catholic school) and the admins in the office were talking about it. Some dumb bitch in my class was in there at the time and overheard but thought she heard my name, and told everyone in school. I found out when my neighbor across the street, who was a grade ahead of me, called me and tried to casually get it out of me. When I finally asked her why she was asking me such weird questions, she was like, “Wait, so it’s not true????” 😂
That I was addicted to heroin. I’ve never even seen the stuff.
As part of a silly high school prank, I got pushed over and fractured my wrist. I went to the emergency room and had the rest of the day off school.
I came back to school the next day to hear rumours that I’d started fighting the guy who’d pushed me, that I’d fought so hard that I broke my wrist punching him that hard.
Kids are weird.
I work in Healthcare so its an office full of women and I’m literally the only male. I started the rumor that I’m well endowed..I am not..seemed like a good idea at the time.
That I was a lesbian because I referred to my “partner” instead of my boyfriend because boyfriend sounds juvenile when you are 60.
In highschool someone started a rumor that I have a massive dick. Wouldn’t you typically start a rumor that it’s small?!?
My brother is evil he convinced me I was adopted and no one would ever love me. He convinced my roommates in college to pretend they couldn’t see me. Seriously they tried to walk through me!! I got super depressed and thought about ending my self. My priest noticed the change in me and recommended I come see him to talk. To this day I have an irrational fear people can’t see me. I ask my best friend all the time you can see me right.
Heard I was gay. Turned out to be another gal from my town who looks similar.
I died. From a drug overdose. It was the strangest rumor because anyone that knows me knows I’ve never been on drugs
I heard a rumor in high school that I was having regular, filthy sex with the hottest girl in my graduating class. (Literally, she was voted “Most Attractive” for our senior superlatives.) I was so embarrassed that I stopped talking to her so the rumors wouldn’t keep spreading and she wouldn’t assume I was the one who started them.
It wasn’t until about ten years later that I realized she was the one going around falsely claiming that she was fucking me. I’m still angry at myself for not realizing earlier.
I had sex underneath the bleachers in junior high.
That I was pregnant (pregnancy rumors were really common when I was in high school for whatever reason) took a test to prove that I wasn’t and found out I was indeed pregnant.
In high school this girl I was (kind of?) friends with told people I was “stalking” my best friend at the time and I was obsessed with him. She told people the only reason we were friends was because I was stalking him. Meanwhile he was obsessed with me to such an uncomfortable extreme I had to cut him off as an adult😭
Can’t forget the classics that I worship satan and don’t speak at all.
In high school a rumor went around thats I’m a lesbian… I quickly corrected them, I’m Bi mother fuckers!
That I had a cocaine addiction thus why I lost so much weight. Though the truth was, I was walking everywhere. I lived in walking distance to get places (for instance to work or the grocery store) and saved money on not using my car. Plus, grieving the loss of my best friend of 16 years really didn’t make me have an appetite to eat.
I went to school with a girl who was a compulsive liar. Me and this girl became really good friends through her, and we both got talking about all her lies. She told this girl that I bathed in purple chicken skin 🤷🏻♀️
That’s I was a narcissistic misogynist
literally all I do is talk to girls and don’t catch feelings they don’t becos I have autism
That I am gay because I’m friends with gay people.
That I used to “put a lot of stuff up my nose” with a girl I barely knew. She reported this to my ex boyfriend and it had been like 5 years since we’d seen each other. Also she was running for political office at the time lol.
Someone named me the cum bucket. I was in 6th grade & hasn’t even had my first kiss. 🤣🤣🤣
People said I stayed at my job for the money. I was a pastor in Northern VA making $50k/year when the median household income was $110k living in a $1600/month tiny townhouse.
That I was a Nazi because I listen to Rammstein. It was annoying until someone randomly tried to choke me out outside the school library.
My parents moved my senior year of high school. New senior, thought it was weird no one decided to try and “mess” with the new student. Cause bullying and more was an issue, but no body even tried. Found out through my best friend at my graduation there was a rumor I got out of juvie for stbbing someone 😭
I was a good noodle
When I was in HS, a rumor spread that I was in county lockup for committing some sort of petty crime.
In reality, another student and I were doing a tour of the county jail for a story for the school newspaper. People asked my best friend where I was and he just told people I was in jail and no other details. That’s all it took for people to create elaborate stories as to how / why that happened. Even my band teacher believed it.
The funny thing is I was so obviously not the type of kid to have any kind of encounter with the law. But people believed it anyway.
That i was going to turn my bully into a frog. I was in 4th grade.
They all said I was Crazy.
That I was bald underneath my hijab (I’m not)
At the time I was 25ish training a 21ish year old new hire, we’re both dudes and I was engaged to my now wife. A much older co worker told my trainee “don’t get too close, he’s pretty ghey.” Trainee was awkward for like 2 weeks around me till I found out. We all got a good laugh!
I ran into a former coworker at a pet store several years after she had retired. When she spotted me in the store, she looked shocked because she said that she heard I had died. Turns out that there was another person with the same first and last name as me that lived in the same town as I did at the time.
Soulmates
That I was dead. I moved provinces when I was 12 & moved back to my original province & same area in the city 5 years later. When I started high school there were a bunch of kids I grew up with since I was 5 who went there & they all said they heard I got into a fight a couple years ago & died. Dumbest thing was my sister had all ready been attending that school for a year & no one asked her anything about it.
Not about myself but about my dad: That he killed someone (after a murder happened in his workplace).
It was very disturbing to hear. Fortunately they caught the killer not long afterwards.
That I was transgender. I had recently cut my hair short, there was no other reason to the rumor.
That I sniffed the math teacher’s ass.
The person who started the rumour was the person I dared to sniff the math teachers ass (he did).
My mom had a long term work project that moved us to another state for 6 months. When I came back, I was in the 8th grade. I figured I’d pick right back up with my friends and everything would be fine! (This is before texting was the norm, no social media) no one would speak to me, I got shoved a lot, people were just mean.
Apparently I had moved away to have a baby because I got knocked up by a 30 year old. News to me.
That I was a huge slut. A popular guy on my high school’s hockey team started it after he tried to feel me up during a date after I’d told him I wasn’t into it. He went for it anyways after I said no twice, so I punched him in the face. Came to school Monday and everyone was talking about how I’d slept with the entire hockey team. I was a virgin.
That I don’t like black people.
I am a black woman. With black parents, black friends and a black spouse who grew up in a black neighborhood with majority black classmates, coworkers, bosses and mentors. The rumor was so shitty that two people I work with & wasn’t particularly close to reported the woman & raised other concerns about her behavior. She was fired by the end of the week. I never even bothered to defend myself bc…wtf!!?!😂
It later came out that she was also making disparaging comments about my color(I’m fair-toned), which was also reported and probably more than likely part of the reason she was fired(open prejudice). I’m unsure to this day why she fixated on me but it was…interesting to say the least lol
That I hate people because I’m quiet. Jokes on them I hate everyone
That I joined a cult. The truth is way more embarrassing — I just got really into CrossFit and couldn’t shut up about it for 3 months.
That I got around in high school. I didnt have sex until I was 19
