What is the worst thing you have ever been falsely accused of?

[telocaster]

My parents transferred me to a catholic middle school in the middle of sixth grade. The second week is was there I was called into the office. The dean then told me that it was brought to her attention by a student that I told them I was going to bring a knife to school. I of course denied it and they obviously called my parents and told them to bring me home.

Two days later, the school called and told my parents that I could come back to class and gave them a full apology. Apparently, one of the teachers had overheard a trio of my classmates (a girl and two guys) taking about how the girl lied about the knife and laughing about it.

I was welcome back and the trio was suspended. Once their parents found out about what they did, two of them transferred to other schools.

MURDER.

In all honesty I don't know if I've ever been falsely accused of anything. Certainly not to the point where it generated a memory, anyway.

 

[BlackStar42]

Only trivial stuff, but it still made me furious. Nothing gets me angrier than being falsely accused, I'd be in real trouble in a courtroom.

 

[Mazza35]

I got accused of raping someone >.>
Funny thing was, it wasn't the person who I 'raped' but one of there friends and I never even did anything sexual with the girl, I just walked her home a few times because I'm a good friend.

Fucking people >.>

Yeah, I'm the same. I sometimes have dream that I have been accused of Murder, and I am so angry at being accused I murder the judge.


I don't know why.


OT: Never been accused, because I am a lovely person who could do no harm.

 

[Ryotknife]

lets see, when i was young my boss falsely accused me of making a certain mistake. Wasnt angry, because while i didnt make the mistake he mentioned, i did make others. So in my mind it evened out.

RAPE

One of my ex-girlfriends accused me of raping her, while I was in another state, and she was in a white padded room.

I only found out about it later because they had to follow any and all accusations while she was in the psych ward.

Kind of funny in that...
'O, yeah, I magically drove 8+ hours (one way), get past various layers of a private psychiatric hospital's security AND avoid every camera in the place...plus made it to work on time'.

Crazy ***** was in that place for a good reason.

 

[Zhukov]

Assault, or some variation thereof.

I was defending someone and there were at least seven witnesses who told the cops that. The situation never made it anywhere near court.

Also shoplifting a couple of times. I just offered to let them search me. It didn't bother me that much. As a young male, and not the friendliest looking guy in the world, I figure shopkeepers kind of see me as a natural suspect.

 

[Shinsei-J]

I was accused of not being sick and just faking it for a year to get out of my sociality and environment class.
That was about 4 years ago and I never was able to go back to normal school, so I still want to kill that teacher.
If he were to turn up dead I'd say good.

 

[Fuzzed]

Calling everyone who posted above me a fat monkey-butt. I swear to God I never did such a thing.

 

[Sir Pootis]

I've been accused of hacking in TF2 at least five times, and kicked once, without doing so.

 

[Lizardon]

In school I was accused of use a video camera to film up girls skirts.

I was 12 I think and we had been using the schools handheld cameras in a media project. The 3-4 of us in the group (all boys) were told that the tape with our footage on it also had some shots taken during a lunch period which included some secretly looking up girls skirts. We all denied it was us, although they were not convinced even when our teacher stood up for us. When I asked about it later, I was told they had found out who had done it. We were cleared because apparently you could see all of us in the background at one point =/

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

Being possessed.

They were serious. That's what happens when you step back in time 100 years and join a strict Catholic convent. I wasn't possessed, I had bipolar disorder. Not that the nuns would have known what that was.

Anyway, they kicked me out, before I could cause any more "disturbances". I was 20 years old.

 

[A.A.K]

Rape.
I walked a slut home because someone had spiked her drink and I didn't want to have to fight anyone at the party given I didn't know the host very well.

I found out someone tried raping her during the party whilst I was in another room, and in her spiked-haze she thought it was me and that's what she told her friends when she got home.

She then apologized when she regained consciousness.
Though I've got such a violent zeal towards 'rape' issues, that when my friends heard that apparently I tried to rape the school slut - they thought it was hysterical.

 

[Phasmal]

Cheating on my ex.

For all the shit I got from that accusation I wished I bloody well had done it.
But I'm not that sort of person.

And also `leading a guy on` for being friends with them and then not wanting to sex them up.
I mean, friends... how evil of me.

 

[Yopaz]

I don't know, I am rarely accused of anything because I give off a very innocent vibe that make people mistake me for a nice guy. I was accused of being in love with a girl not too long ago, in truth I was only flirting with her because I was bored. Not a terrible accusation nor that unreasonable, but it's all I've got.

 

[Something Amyss]

Rape or assault. Take your pick.

The "rape" was an ex being mad at me and deciding to do something nasty. She also once told me to kill myself when I was at my lowest. Nice girl. Yeah, keep this one in mind the next time the subject of rape comes up and I'm still, oddly enough, on the woman's side of things.

The assault got me fired, which still kinda chaps me. Supposedly, I slammed this girl's head into the counter. Now, I'm 6'5" and I have to be very careful, because I'm large enough that even horseplay leaves bruises and the like. The girl accused me without even a mark.

Fortunately, it was just a Wal-Mart job. The girl in question was later charged with grand theft and had also used the photo lab for less than kosher things.

I need to hang around a better class of people.

And also `leading a guy on` for being friends with them and then not wanting to sex them up.
I mean, friends... how evil of me.

Oh my God. That's just disgusting. How DARE you be friends with someone and not at least whip out the goodies?

....And this is why menfolk confuse the HELL out of me.

 

[Abomination]

Rape.

A woman that bumped into me while talking on her phone while getting into the elevator of my work. She threw a fit and claimed I groped her in the process. Was a bit strange considering how I was carrying an old monitor (you know, the 10kg/25+ pound things). She demanded I apologise by screaming directly into and not less than 3 inches from my ear, so I called her a crazy ***** and had to push my way past her to get out of the elevator.

Later she found out where I worked, asked the receptionist innocently who I was and that's when the "fun" started.

Two days of deliberation later with a lawyer it turned out I was the 7th person the woman had accused of rape in the past year.

I wasn't worried about it because I knew it wouldn't amount to anything but I was damn annoyed with how much of my time it wasted.

 

[Hiroshi Mishima]

I was once accused of being misogynistic when I made a statement that games industry should stop focusing so much on sexualization of female characters, and that instead of ogling innocent polygons and pixels, I could just hang out with my girlfriend. You know, spending quality time with a REAL person instead of trying to put video game characters in tasteless and immoral situations. I still don't know where they drew that conclusion from, considering that everything I'd been saying was the absolute opposite of that mindset, and have been against misogyny for pretty much my entire life.

For me, it was a slap in the face and I was pretty upset about it. It was also when I went and looked into how to disable notification to replies here on Escapist. It was some years ago, and I don't even remember my exact words. Tried pretty hard to blot it out of my mind.
