What was the last rumor spread about you? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10642)   ranked 338 out of 26,796 in people7 months ago

In the course of walking my dog today I found out (make a long story short) that a lot of people in my complex, most I don't know, are under the impression I have cancer. Where I live a lot of people are on disability, and I do have severe health issues. I was quick to set the person straight about the cancer issue. I said I didn't have it, and didn't know where someone got that idea.

It's not a big deal, I just don't want anyone in the place who actually cares about me to think I'm suffering from something so horrible as cancer. Which made me think of rumors is general. What is the last rumor that was spread about you?

To be honest, I don't know. I have a sneaking suspicion certain folks have been asked (told) not to reply to discussions I've begun ... but it's only that ... a suspicion based on something one member told me.

I don't take part in gossip, neither coming nor going.

Oh that is a nasty rumour AmbiePam & i am so glad it is untrue happy
No idea what rumours are spread about me,& to be honest i dont really care,it just means they are leaving someone else alone.Tho i would be most upset if i heard a rumour about me same as yours.
I think in life/online people hear something & add their own stories to it,next thing it is all around the internet or town.

Rumors about me tend to be pretty sexual in nature. Apparently according to the rumormongers, I've slept with most of my friends, and my kid isn't my husband's. That last one is especially funny, since you could take a picture of Dusty and a picture of my hubby at his age and not be able to tell them apart. lol

I guess the only other rumor I've heard about myself lately is that I'm pregnant again. That's not going to happen, ever, so I just laughed it off. Though it did make me wonder if I need to lose a bit of weight.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8521)   ranked 259 out of 26,796 in people  7 months ago

Oh I just had to butt in here...I've actually been very lean and thin most of my life, but there was one time I did gain a considerable amount of weight..my downfall is when I do gain some weight it goes all to my abdomen area...so this one time I gained a lot of weight this woman who I hadn't seen in a long time was congratulating me like crazy...and asking me when was the baby dueangry
made me really realize..mmmm think I need to lose weight..big timecry
So who knows..maybe rumors were flying I was pregnant (and unwed)


myLot reputation of 92/100. OreoCookie3 (13787)   ranked 343 out of 26,796 in people  7 months ago

Haaa! I also have been asked when I was due. I said, I'm not due, I'm just fat!rasp


myLot reputation of 95/100. lecanis (7207)   ranked 151 out of 26,796 in people  7 months ago

*giggles* The funny thing for me is that it doesn't matter what I weigh... I look about the same no matter what it seems. I've lost or gained up to 30 lbs. before people started noticing, so the idea that someone would think I was pregnant is even funnier to me because usually no one notices my weight.

Hehe, when I actually*was* pregnant, I kept being accused on being not only unwed, but also a teenager, neither of which were true. It cracked me up how many complete strangers felt the need to talk to me about my pregnancy, and assumed because I wasn't wearing my wedding ring (didn't fit my finger) and I look young that they knew all about my "situation".

For me it's always the same one, but I only hear it when I call my mother. She swears, and has for years, that I am just a figment of her imagination as she would never have raised one such as I. And yes, that's exactly how she talks, so she could be right! lol

Wow, that had to stink to hear, AmbiePam. sad

In the course of my old job, there were often many rumors spread about me, but in the last few years the only rumors I am aware of are that I am in the Witness Protection Program and that I am a dealer of drugs.

I dont recall any rumours being spread about me. Unless I count the bs my step children biological mother tells them.
Probably as I am 50, & dont mix much with my neighbours, rumours are less likely to be an issue.

I can understand the innocent rumour that went around about you having cancer. People must have noticed that you had health problems, and human nature being what it is, people have to imagine the worse.
At least you put it straight.

Wow, I would hate for people to think I was ill like that, AmbiePam. I would not want people to worry about me.

I had so many rumors about me spread when I left my job with Marriott. It was really a nightmare. My boss embezzled a lot of money, and the rumor was that I was in on it. I lost my job over it.

Not a good situation.


myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10642)   ranked 338 out of 26,796 in people  7 months ago

That is awful. That would tear me up.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dfn12968 (5580)   ranked 72 out of 26,796 in people  7 months ago

It was very hard. I lost some friends, but I suppose the people who don't stick by you are the ones who aren't really your friends to begin with, right?


myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10642)   ranked 338 out of 26,796 in people  7 months ago

You're right. I'm sorry you had to go through that anyway though.

Well number one...my mother was famous for spreading out right lies about me to perpetuate her woebegone poor me victim mode...I got this from a friend of mine who starting telling me all the crap my mother was dishing out to people...one that "Oh, my daughter is agoraphobic...she never goes out? I used to get a complex cause when I would go out bump into someone we knew, they would say "oh, Melanie, I can't tell you how happy I am to see you out HERE." I mean this happened every time I ran into someone...and I'm like WTF?? What's the big deal? But then I understood when my friend told me...my own mother was making me sound like a blithering idiot that never did anything with my life...she also seemed to neglect telling people I had been a successfully published photographer at one point, did my crafts..the way she made me sound was as if I just stayed at home staring at the walls and contemplated my navel all the time. The worse lie/rumor she spread was this---in her last few years of life my mother lost a lot of weight were before she was always uh, chunky?? It was a neighbor of mine who I bumped into...she said your mother is losing an awful lot of weight...so I told her why...my mother was doing a bulimic thing---she eat her meals, race into the kitchen (closer than the bathroom) and stick her finger down her throat to purge...but my neighbor told me...that's not what your mother told me...she told me you never feed her that you're starving her....god knows how many people believed this shat--so in effect my mother was the greatest in spreading rumors about me...
Another winner...this same neighbor was the one who once said and this was a little after my mother died..that gee, you're doing well for yourself...your mother left you about $100,000...WHAT?? She did, when? Where? To who??? Oh how I wish!!! I suspect I know the source of this rumor...another neighbor of whom my mother borrowed a lot of money from was for some twisted reason swore somehow that my mother had "secret" accounts all over the place...Oh how I wish..LOLcry


myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10642)   ranked 338 out of 26,796 in people  7 months ago

I don't know how you kept your sanity.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8521)   ranked 259 out of 26,796 in people  7 months ago

I sometimes wonder too..chalk it up to having a healthy sense of humor and can laugh at situations...like the woman who thought I had inherited the $100,000..maybe I should have told her..."Oh, yes I did, I'm going to pick out my Jaguar car and private yacht tomorrow"lol

My boss actually told my coworkers that I was a drug seeker, and that they should keep an eye on me when I pass meds. This was totally amazing, since I am working with developmentally disabled adults and I got researched and finger-printed to death to get the job therefore the probability of that being true is 0 and none. Not to mention, him and I have nothing and common and there is no way that he could have that knowledge of me from anywhere.

Plus it definitely is not true.


myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10642)   ranked 338 out of 26,796 in people  7 months ago

He said that, and he is still your boss? I don't know how people work with the likes of people like that. I guess there is little choice.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (5636)   ranked 162 out of 26,796 in people  7 months ago

Yes, no one stays with that boss very long. I am trying to get a transfer, one of the girls I work with her last week with him is this upcoming week. One of the guys is staying until June when he finishes school and another person is looking into a different field.
