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

[unreal51]

When I was in nursery I was accused of racism towards some of the other kids .My mum kept denying it,knowing I wouldn't do something like that and the teachers got increasingly pissy about it each day. After about a week of this my mum was called in and apologised to, as it turned out the parent accusing me got the description wrong.

The culprit is still the most racist person I know to this day (To the point of actually writing his 4 page essay on "Things you hate about the 21st century" on any form of immigrant in the country)

Paedophilia.

It was horrible.

Long story short, I pointed out that this girl was shouting and screaming at this guy, and apparently that meant I was "watching her". So as it turns out, I cant even glance at a minor without being called a Paedophile apparently...

Me, and the guy the accused me are... less than friends right now.

 

[Aetera]

Nothing major, but I was accused of just pretending to read challenging books when I was little to show off. I was actually reading them and found them interesting, but apparently it's unheard of for a fifth grader to be reading Tolstoy and Shakespeare. That made me angry. It was really insulting.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I was accused of a writing a bomb threat in Junior High.

Apparently, there was a bomb threat that was written on a mirror in one of the girl's bathroom in lipstick, and one of the popular girls said it was me. So, I was hauled into the Assistant Principal's office and interrogated, and then suspended for a week. They called my dad to have him take me home, and he wasn't happy (understatement), not with me but with the school since he worked about 45 miles away at the time. He knew the accusation was BS and told them not to call the cops, and he had a chat with the lady with me sitting outside of the room, and that was the longest five minutes of my life let me tell you.

After that I was told to go back to class after my dad told them that I don't wear makeup, let alone black lipstick which should've been obvious. Fun part was I was given no apology and I don't know what happened to the girl that accused me, but then again I don't remember.

But two weeks later I was accused of something that happened on my bus, I don't remember what it was, and I was suspended for three days. So I had to walk home since I had no other choice. Fun times.

 

[generals3]

I have never been falsely accused of anything terrible actually. Though one in particular comes to mind, in highschool i was accused of cheating on my neighbor while it was the opposite. The reason why the teacher thought it was me is because my neighbor was an "A-student" while i was more of a "C-student". Can't really blame him, but I was still kind of offended, I mean, when i cheated i did it right.

 

[Lovely Mixture]

I was accused of being a Know-It-All in highschool. That's the worst it got.

 

[bojackx]

Very little, maybe because I don't have a reputation for lying? I don't know.

There was one time where I got accused of causing a fire alarm to go off. They were able to trace it back to our room, and since I was the only one with straighteners (turned off, not plugged in, and cold) I got the blame. My friend even kept saying "the electric radiator was sending off sparks from the plug, it was probably that" but they just ignored him. Jeez that was irritating.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

When I was a teenager I went to WOMAD, a music festival, with some of my extended family. Anyway, one time I leant against a massive pole, which must have been a few feet thick and a good twenty metres tall. I stayed there for a minute, I think I was phoning someone. And when I walked away, it just fell over. No idea how. But the security there accused me of vandalism and started giving me a stern lecture on the fact that it could easily have killed someone.
At that point my uncle jumped in and pointed out just how ridiculous that was. I was about 13 and hardly a delinquent. Plus I wouldn't have the first clue on how to sabotage the pole's support thingies...

Plus one time I was in the park with some mates and one of them had porn on his phone. I can't remember how old we were at the time, but we were young enough for porn to be a novelty. So I was sat watching it, with the rest of them gathered round, and I kept glancing up from the screen to check noone was watching us.
Anyway, long story short, some big thug thought I was glancing up to look at his wife and threatened to beat me up. Complete dickhead -.-

 

[Scarim Coral]

Apparently my two friends think I had touched their grandmother prized glass ornament (no it didn't get broken at all so I don't see why they even make a big deal out of it).

Seriously, those two held a trail against me (we were kids before you asked) but yet again those two were always weird when I first entered their house (think of them like Ned Flaunder kids from The Simpsons). I wouldn't say we were the best of friends seeing how I was only friend with them because my mum was friend with their mum.

Needless the say I stop handing out with them after that incident (it end up being me off the hook somewhat as they started to think making a rat touch the ornament instead).

 

[You Can't Take the Sky From Me]

I was a person of interest in an arson investigation about a month ago. Does that count as an accusation?

 

[Saladfork]

Lotta false rape accusations, I see. Personally I get really paranoid about that sometimes, but I generally get over it by reminding myself that, were I charged, the burden of proof would be with th accuser, and of course, they wouldn't have any.

In any case, OT: I don't remember much from my childhood, but I do remember one particular incident from when I was in elementary school. I don't remember which grade, though, so I'm not sure how old I was. I had found a cap gun lying around somewhere nearby (I knew it was fake because it was 1) really light and 2) had the orange tip) and was playing around with it when I saw some kid notice me and run off in the direction of the teachers.

Sensing trouble, I figured the best thing to do would be to hide it in my pocket, go over to the playground, bury it in the sand and pick it up later when I left. Well, sure enough one of the teachers came looking for me not too long after, but I turned out all my pockets and of course had nothing on me, so she left. Not sure what she thought of the situation, if she realized I had noticed the other kid run off or if she thought he was just a liar, but later when I went to retrieve the cap gun, it was missing. I can only assume that someone else saw me bury it and got back to it before I did. If nothing else, I was smart enough to avoid getting caught, but I was a little annoyed that after all that effort I didn't even get to keep it.

Edit: Just to be clear, the 'false accusation' was that it I had a weapon. I hadn't even heard of such a thing as school shootings until much later but even then I figured it would be bad if I was caught with even just a cap gun at school, which is why I ditched it.

Rape: Basically when me and my girlfriend at the time had first got physical, she wasn't fully ready even though she initiated it. Things happened, but we didn't have sex. Well the night it happened she had told her friends that I raped her, and after we broke up she continued to spread the rumor. Going far enough to befriend my future girlfriends and break us up by telling the girl about it (leaving out the detail that NOTHING HAPPENED)

So pretty much whenever I'm on a date I tend to put that on the table that I have a stalker ex who is still spreading rumors that I'm a rapist. Luckily that's been able to stop her from sabotaging my relationships so far. The reason I've been single for the last 10 years is mainly my fault.

We've been broken up for about 10 years, she's been in a "serious relationship" for the last 5 or 6, and she still feels it's necessary to try to sabotage my relationships.

The worst part? I'm a rape victim myself...

EDIT: On a lighter note: In High School I was unofficially voted "Most likely to start a school shooting.", too bad the Yearbook staff wouldn't publish that, though I can see why.

 

[AldUK]

The majority of my family believe with absolutely no justification or reasoning, that I am in fact, a drug dealing gang-leader. The truth? I have never done drugs in my life and I have one friend who I spend any time with. They fabricated this delusion because when I hit my teens, we stopped being as close as we were when I was younger, with almost all contact being severed as I reached adulthood. (Note; not my choice.) They believe this because it's the only way they can make sense of my lifestyle and personality, surely I can't be a shut-in and speak against societal norms without being some kind of criminal, right? It may also have something to do with the fact that I do appear intimidating (so I'm told) due to being tall, broad-shouldered. I have actually experienced this a lot in my life, where people make wild assumptions with no grounding purely on appearance and speculation, yes including my own family.

It used to really bother me, but I'm 25 now, working on starting my own family. But their attitudes still amuse me, if anything all they have done is taught me how not to treat your relatives.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

My friends and I were accused of taking inappropriate pictures of a three year old little girl with my phone. Probably one of the scariest times in my life, because all that needed to happen was the police to show up and that would follow me around for the rest of my life.

We were sitting down at the mall eating lunch. We were joking around and we all took pictures of each other because we didn't have pictures to match the phone numbers. After that, I noticed this little girl sitting several tables away staring at me. Like REALLY staring. Every now and then I'd do a quick peek, but she kept staring at me and I was a little uncomfortable with it. Later I noticed the mom had moved and was glaring at us. We continued to talk until they left. After that, I noticed that the girl had spilled her milkshake all over the table, they'd left all their trash everywhere and had just disappeared. I pointed it out to my friends and they we disgusted.
A minute later, the mom walked over, took a picture of each of us--which we tried to ignore and we all thought this woman was crazy--and then she glared at me and demanded, "I want to know why you took a picture of my daughter with your phone and why you kept staring at her while she ate." I was floored. Security came over and we explained that we did no such thing. We even offered to show the man our phone, but he said that was fine. He was clearly seeing the same thing we were: crazy mom. But that wasn't good enough. She apparently called the manager of security, and he did look at our phones. And he laughed and joked about the pictures. "Oh, you broke the camera on that one." We asked if we were free to go and he said yes and not to worry about it. We bolted, even though I'm sure that lady was about to call the police.

I know what happened too. I'll bet money that the little girl saw me pull out my phone and take a picture and she thought it was her. Never mind the fact that I have an old flip phone with no zone and she was at least two dozen feet away. After that, any time I looked anywhere in her direction, she thought I was looking at her, even though my friend was sitting between me and her. After that, she asked her mom why I kept staring at her. For all the mom cared at that point, I could have been look at the damn ceiling and the woman would have thought I was looking at her little girl.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I've never really been accused of much, but I was once accused of cheating on a girlfriend. My mates and I were all out, and this girl we all vaguely know kept coming onto me. A few days later we hear she's been telling people we slept together, but as soon as my friends told everyone what really happened people stopped believing her. She wasn't the most trustworthy person, her words didn't carry much weight really. Did give me the shock of my life when my girlfriend rung me up about it though, until she was convinced I did nothing wrong she was pretty pissed off.

 

[Mr F.]

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.

EDIT: Was a douche. Fixed that. Sorry.

Wait a minute, I just re-read it. Bleh. You do not sound like a nice person. Though its a pretty shitty accusation to deal with

Eh... Man, she calls herself that; and she's currently sleeping with 2 guys at the same time. That's considered tame or average for her.
and yea I can see that. I didn't get much of my childhood, and my teenage years were spent in a self-induced isolation training.

I don't deal with peoples bullshit.

 

[Crazy]

I've been accused of hacking, doing unspeakable things to peoples Minecraft homes, trolling, et cetera.

I've been wounded several times over.

 

[Andy of Comix Inc]

I made a sarcastic comment once criticizing people that thought that the First Fleet was justified in slaughtering the Australian Aborigines, and that Australia Day celebrating the death of thousands is a good thing. The comment was basically, "yep. Hmmm. That seems reasonable. OH WAIT NO IT DOESN'T." You know. Not hard to understand. But it is a thorny topic, because I got a message from - and then blocked by - a woman sent me this:

"You racist asshole! Hang by your balls!"

...getting called a racist, a sexist, a bigot... I understand that if you're called these things it's usually because you've done or said something racist or sexist or bigoted. And usually I try to better myself when such complaints are leveled at me. But when I'm called a racist asshole when staunchly criticizing racism I feel just a little like my intelligence is being insulted.

I did find it funny that she blocked me though. I don't know if she wanted me to respond or not, I would have loved to have cleaned it up, but I guess she was being emotional and irrational. Still kind of hilarious though, like punching someone in the face and then sticking your fingers in your ears.

Edit: Oh, I've also been accused of being a pedophile. Which is a shame, because my family has a really bad history with pedophiles, and I fucking hate pedophiles, but the one thing I hate worse than pedophiles are people who accuse others falsely of being pedophiles. It's not like, "oh, man, you're a child fucker." When people say "you are a pedophile," I hear: "you are literally the worst person on this earth. Lower than scum." And I get more offended by people throwing that word around as a casual insult than I do by pedophiles themselves. Pedophiles are sick and twisted, wretched individuals who deserve pity; when rational men start throwing the word around, that's more insulting to me. So, like, don't accuse me of being a pedophile, alright?
