My boss once accused me of being a great employee but I had to tell him the truth; I am a slacker.

ohsheeT · Answer

Oh my God yes I hate it I hate that I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time I hate that I have to go through everything that I have to go through to prove that I didn't do it or it wasn't me because it takes too much energy but it's something that you have to do just because of the principle there have been moments where I say fuck this if that's what you believe that's what you believe because the truth will always come out and I'm not shy if I did something I will admit it there's nothing wrong with anything that I do because I did it for a reason that's why I would admit it but nothing harmful or hateful or anything like that

Okay so check this out I'm in grade school it's the last day of school the Bell goes off we get to leave and go home I get home and there's a telephone call from my school from the principal telling me to bring back the keys that I took from my English teacher on my very last class I said I did not take any keys they want to talk to me I said okay my brother has a friend over at the house he has a bicycle there I asked him if I could take his bicycle to the school because I have to talk to him he says yes I go to the school go see the principal and the teacher and I'm telling them that I did not take any keys from anybody they were saying that a student saw me and I said well you better go talk to that student because they're the ones that probably took the keys now the principal gets a phone call from the boy let me borrow his bike he told his parents that I stole it from him and he didn't know anything about it because he didn't want to get in trouble for letting me write his bike so now I got two things going on the keys were found out in the little Courtyard of grass and the kid admitted that he allowed me to borrow the bike so I can come up and see the principal but I had to go through all that crap for nothing and it seems like my whole life almost been like that sometimes there's always somebody that says something that's not true and I have to defend myself which I have become very good at and I mean I get down to the nice ass in details and I've always proven myself innocent but I hate that I had to go through it for whatever reason

AsaKyo · Answer

Yeah, when I was in middle school, I was out with some friends and the mom and dad of the friend we were staying with took us to the mall. I brought some money of my own and bought something from the store when they weren't really paying attention, I guess. It was some cute Sanrio plush and when we walked out and the dad saw me with it, he automatically accused me of stealing it.

And I was like, "No I didn't, I paid for it", but he would just not let it go and kept going on about how I stole it. I was the only mixed person there, as all the other people in our group were white. And one of my other friends actually did steal something from that store and he didn't say anything to her. It was just me. After that, I told my mom and that was the last time I ever went out with them. Loved my friend to death, but her parents were just too much.

I knew a woman from college and she has a personal online journal. I found it by googling her name. It had her email address on it so I wrote to her and asked if she would like to be friends.

She accepted. I told her some of the fond memories we had together in college. She wrote back saying we never had any meaningful connection. She accused me of reading her online journal and using that information as a connection.

I went back to view her online journal because I didn't really read anything from it. But it was gone. I wrote back to her and told her I can't find it anymore. Is there a link she could send me? I assured her I didn't get that information from her online journal.

She never responded to my question. We wrote several more emails and she again accused me of viewing her online journal. I told her I can't find it anymore and you never sent me a link.

She accused me of being a creep for viewing her online journal and to never write to her again.

Dazed0N0Confused · Answer

I've been accused of being high on cocaine during work by my coworkers, who were only asking me because they wanted some of it. Claiming I must have some really good shit & I should share.

I flat out told them I don't do cocaine, I don't do "uppers", because I don't know how it will affect my brain as it could cause me to have a seizure (being an epileptic is fun 🙄).

The only thing I "do" is marijuana.

JustiReno · Answer

My ex girlfriend used to accuse me you of cheating all the time, she’d wake me up at 2am and the endurance of this woman my god ask me “did you have sex with monkey pox” 1,000,000x in a row, seriously how can someone ask 1-3 questions for 3hrs straight that’s F-in’ unbelievable

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah my psycho ex accused me of rape because I broke up with her. Actually she first told me she was pregnant, and when I pointed out how that was impossible she said she would accuse me of rape (I never raped her) and she did just that. That was a terrifying two days for me. Fortunately the detective easily poked lots of holes in her story and the charges were dropped. I'm sure I've been accused of other things I didn't do but I can't remember them at the moment. That one definitely stuck in my memory though.

Jay3344 · Answer

It’s stupid but a teacher accused me of taking her answer book to one of our workbooks in 7th grade. For days she couldn’t find it and gave me the stink eye, making my life hard and sending me to the principal. Then one day it turned up in another kids desk who had forgotten he had it while reviewing his mistakes from an assignment. He had just left it in his desk and forgot about it. No apology just a horrible memory of a sadistic woman

Twalli · Answer

Yes, and got suspended for a quarter. The speech from the class president of the class of 2010 (I graduated in 2009), admitted that they did it. I was never apologized to despite seeing the person who accused me (the peincipal) multiple times since then.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

I got accused of raping this girl I worked with by her friends who also worked there. Only we were dating soooo

Her ex who held her at knife point literally a week earlier showed up, hid behind a wall of small women and joined them in shaming me in the back for something I would never do.

The place already had a restraining order on him for basically trashing the store a short while ago so I just couldn't resist taking the opportunity to rock a real rapist in the face.

BCA6010 · Answer

Of course. One time in particular could've resulted in time behind bars, but most of the recent times have been a coworker or senior manager putting words in my mouth that I never said (not necessarily good or bad but it's the fact they tried to speak for me that pissed me off).

crossdressingrihno · Answer

Frequently
I was the scape goat despite the fact I was also the one who always had evidence to prove my Innocence beyond a reasonable doubt.

One time somebody put them selves in the arm in middle school and blamed it on me so I just put myself in the arms so hard I started bleeding and my bite marks were much more powerful and much bigger than his so while the teacher was incredibly disturbed I got off Scott free because I mean it was kind of obvious that I didn’t do it

worldscolide · Answer

Yup. When I was 24 a woman who I had never met, accused me of rape and claimed her baby was mine.

I proved her wrong in court. I didn't stop there, I advised cps of her situation and her kid was put in foster care.

Anonymous · Answer

Sure. And I can accept it from a stranger who doesn't know better.

A friend who does it though? Fuck 'em. They're not your friend if they are willing to think the worst of you, accuse you without a chance to speak or refuse to give you the benefit the doubt. Fuck 'em. You're better off without them.

Staximus · Answer

Yeah, I almost got expelled in 6th grade because this black girl who had a crush on me lied and said I called her the N word. She was mad because I said the latest Aerosmith album sucked. I would have never called her that. I got called into the principal's office and sent home. I got called into the principal's office again the next day with my mom. My dad called up the principal and told her she better not expel me if she likes her job and that was the end of it.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Constantly. I’m a white man. I read and hear almost daily about all the raping, colonizing, enslavement and oppression i’ve done. Yet i’ve never done any of those things. I’ve never met someone who has, or even so much as dreamed of doing those things.

Emiliamazing · Answer

Children are very good at this :-). They misplace a toy or an important article of clothing or one shoe and I or my husband get blamed for hiding it from them. It’s pretty comical!

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

I have been accused and got in trouble for stuff I didn't do but at the same time got away with stuff I actually did do. Karma I guess... although it is funny when someone accuses me of something I DID do but they can't prove it.

Babygirl_S · Answer

I've been accused of having a white man fetish while I am only attracted to the hot men from any race. It seems that Americans really hate Indians so any form of interest is not welcome.

blissinanarchy1 · Answer

Falsely accused of rape. I haven’t a current lawsuit against the police pending. The girl said she took consent away in the middle of sex, which is possible. Only, she freely admitted to police she never said no, and that she actively participated. I still got charged. Covid kept pushing trial back so I did 18 months before being found innocent.

JosyJosy · Answer

Yep. Parents would accuse me of something. But I didn't do it, so when they insist I did it. I'd tell them that I'll do it right now, so they're right, it'd piss them off. I'm petty. The accusations stopped.

Sun_Kim-Ai · Answer

Yes. Some "people" like to say that the flood that killed 17 people and displaced over 50 is my fault, even though I was warning about the ineffective argins two years ago.

Blackcosmo · Answer

I think it's happened like at school or other places but my family knows I'm very honest so in a matter at home they always believe me.

Anonymous · Answer

Yep.

Sexual assault. 18 months of court appearances to be set free, for her to admit to lying.

Tens of thousands of dollars wasted, 18 months of my life wasted, lost a job I was at, all for some liar, who suffered ZERO consequences.

bigpauly · Answer

As a kid I was accused of vandalizing the HS.  I was mainly offended because if I were to do a prank it would be funny 😒

Beardedman1996 · Answer

Having an ego and apparently because I’m funny people assume that I’ve slept with a lot more people, like my personality and humor gains me an extra 10 bodies I didn’t even have just as part of their preview of me
