    Stabbed to death in a knife fight in Seattle. Never happened, but so many have told me.

    I have no idea where it comes from…It’s been decades.

    A girl told a bunch of people I beat her up. She was eventually caught telling other lies about other people and I haven’t heard anything about it in years. But now I feel betrayed by friends that ostracized me for something I didn’t do and I don’t hang out with anyone any more. :/

      Same. My ex told everyone that I was abusing her so that they wouldn’t believe me when I started coming out about how she was abusing me. I’m so happy to have gotten her out of my life. I feel bad for the two guys married to her sisters. They’re nothing but punching bags for those monsters.

    That I was hung like a horse which caused so many girls I dated to not be ready for how large my penis is.

    I was a manager, and another guy was a more senior manager in another division. We both did IT. For some reason he didn’t like me and/or was trying to get our services moved to him, so he went to our director every week for over a year to tell him made-up stories about me.

    He eventually left after a lot of people realized he was a highly manipulative, but I still hear things that he told people as part of an explanation about why I was passed up “for this” or why I wasn’t right “for that.” It cost me a lot of raises, especially in cases where things were gossiped to other people and the source was lost. Now I’m only a manager in title, but my management responsibilities were taken away.

    Unfortunately, I’m caught in a ticking trap – another 1.5 years and I retire with a full pension for the rest of my life. Losing that by leaving isn’t worth it (assuming I live long enough afterwards).

    That I’m a handsome sex machine, with charisma to spare.

    No idea who started that one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I guess it depends, different people would consider different ones more damning than others. Many of these come from aspects about me. Where I currently live, the worst thing you can be accused of, and which plagues everyone close to me, is endangerment, the bad kind. Earlier in my childhood though when I was in another setting, people were more spiritually in-tune and believed me being a seventh daughter of a seventh daughter with a medical condition and heathenic traits meant I was bewitched.
