    In high school a rumor got started that I had once chased a kid around the halls of the school with an axe. I was on the track team and when we went to meets at other schools those kids had heard it too somehow. Total strangers would freak out when I told them my name. Oh my God! You're the axe guy!

    I had several people on a message board say I had a restraining order against all fair grounds. I told them it was one trespass order that is easy to get. They then decided that a trespass order and a restraining order was the same thing and I was lying because it was all fair grounds. So I had to explain that they were claiming that over 100 pieces of land picked them themselves up and went to the local courthouse to file the paperwork. Then at a later date they picked them selves up and went back to the court, stood in front of a judge and proved that I was a danger to them when I had never even seen most of them. Pointing out that stupidity put an end to it.

    When I was in 4th grade I was showing off on the swing set before school and wound up cutting my ear in half. It was bleeding a lot and freaking everybody out, which I thought was hilarious. So I started walking around showing all the other kids. Eventually I made it to the nurse and was sent off to the hospital to get stitches. Me not being around all day coupled with my disturbing display that morning led to the rumor that I was dead. My poor older sister was also in school with me at the time, and was not there when I hurt myself, so you can imagine how her day went.

    The first (and only) time I drank a Monster energy drink, I was off the walls. Something in it mixed with a medication I was on and I couldn’t sit still for a second. It was insane and I was all over the place. I had several classes where people were entertained by my behavior, but one teacher (who was always a b) got all pissy about it and sent me to the nurse. I ended up having to go home and the school nurse (high school) thought I was on drugs and insinuated that to my mother over the phone. Apparently, since I was acting so insane and sent to the nurse and didn’t come back to class, someone started a rumor that I had been rushed to the hospital. That was pretty weird. Funny thing is, my doctor said that reaction was actually really dangerous and if I ever do that again I’ll probably go into cardiac arrest. Monster is now Forbidden Special Soda to me and I know I’d probably die but god damn if that wasn’t a fun day.
    Oh and there was also a rumor (same HS) that my bf broke up with me bc I cheated on him with my (at the time) best friend. Best friend and I are both female. I guess ppl thought we were fucking but we were just really good friends. Then we were surprised later on when we both realized we’re gay! HS is fucking weird.

    I was accused of wanting to shoot everyone, being on drugs, bringing a pillowcase full of knives to stab everyone, that I killed animals or worshiped the devil.
    Then came high school and everyone is asking me to hook them up or if I can find this drug or that. But that’s also the same time I happened to start using so I instantly became the schools plug I didn’t even have to buy my own I just taxed everyone for being 2faced or talking shit about me.

    Some girl spread a rumor about me that I hap pneumonia because I coughed a lot. Turns out I had post nasal drip and they were loud wet coughs but I was socially isolated for a year and a half. This caused me to spiral into a deep depression and I'm still mad about it five years later but I can't say anything to her because I acted like we were ending on a good note our senior year but then the pandemic came and cut it in half and then her brother died so now I have to act like it didn't happen to not look like a bitch.

He tried to get me kicked out and said I "Threatened him at knife point" and even "Spread his eja****** on his desk in front of the class to intimidate him" 😂😂😂 Of course the complaints were thrown out cause most of the faculty, especially the higher ups, knew me and knew that's something that's just not in my character. Unfortunately the incident reports were destroyed as is SOP with cases that are thrown out but my vice principal told me the story over a couple of drinks a few years after I graduated High School

    11th grade, prior to spring break everyone shared where we were going. I was going to San Diego (beach). One of the days there were crazy rip currents so my dad took us back to his place and we did arts & crafts (my little brother got to choose) and I cut my left thumb with an exacto knife. The ER doctor did a terrible job on the stitches and the wound looked jagged so when school resumed kids were saying I was bitten by a shark. I kept telling people the truth but nobody believed me. I wasn’t a badass in their eyes, rather an idiot who probably went fishing and was attacked removing the hook.

    In biology class in high school there was a display of coral reef. Someone had put two origami goldfish in and I thought it was cute so I looked at them. There was a girl in my year who tried to bully me but she wasn't good at bullying.
    This was shortly after the fairy odd parents came out so not many of us had heard of it and she asked me in a mocking tone if I was looking at them because I thought those were wish granting fish. I looked confused. She then told me that she bet I thought those fish were wish granting fairies. Cue more confusion. I had no response to this. Like none, it was so random and bizarre. I walked away.
    She tried spreading around the school that I believed those fish were wish granting fairies. No one believed it but that did start a rumour she was on hard drugs. When we found out about the cartoon they started mocking her for liking kid's cartoons and being on hard drugs.

    4. That I ran an information web to get dirt on people (partially true, I used to dig up dirt on people that pissed me off and use it as leverage. Broke up a couple football players and cheerleaders.)

    Weirdest rumor spread about me was that I was a super star football player on track to make it to the NFL if only I hadn't suffered a crippling neck injury. The truth is I sucked Assssssss. I was a defensive right end, so most games and practice I was just.. there LOL. I did score a few sacks by being a tricky little asshole and telling the kids on the other team they were blocking the wrong person XD
    Near the end I discovered that being bigger than most of the other players meant I could push two of the other teams line back at once which I found funny, but I was never commended or anything for it. I wasn't told to do that it was just funny to me. Then one game I challenged someone twice my size, lost, we both fell backwards and he landed on my neck. (Yup that part was true) That killed my sports career, but it didn't permanently cripple me, mom just refused to let me play again. I was 8 when that happened.
    Fast forward to middle school and I am built like Shaggy, and have guys twice my size coming and begging me to try out for the team because they heard all about my legendary performance, doing backflips before games, (The fuck?) leading the defensive line, etc. "I know you had a neck injury, but it's been years! You look fine you can play can't ya?!"
    And suddenly, anthropo of nothing I became the cool X sports superstar cut down in his prime by an injury, a rumor that lasted until late into high school.
