I attended the bowling event on Friday. I had to leave early as I had a prior commitment and had to be somewhere by 10 pm that night.
Today I heard that I left the bowling with a guy and spent the night with him cause we walked out of the bowling alley together. We had a good laugh about it.
Anyone else ever hear bizarre rumours about themselves? | |

| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/15/2007 3:48:21 PM | | all the time... goes with the territory.. the rumor i heard about myself after the first hot tub party was the best... i wish they were true sometimes lmao just shrug it off and move on IMO.... | |
|
| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/15/2007 3:51:50 PM | | I got a better one, I was in an auto accident last year and was off work for 8 months. When I got back to work, I hear that rumour going around was that I had quit my job, moved to another town and was shacked up with a couple native girls. I never even left town, sheeesh. It is crazy the way people assume and then spread thier assumptions around and what about the mental morons that continue to spread these rumours around. Thats why I try and keep my mouth shut if I don't know what I am talking about, lol. | |
|
| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/15/2007 4:14:06 PM | | Yup - shrugged it off. I just thought it was funny. | |
|
| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/15/2007 4:28:12 PM | No, you didn't shrug it off, it bothered you enough you made a thread explaining yourself. People talk about others, it's just human nature, what's harmful though is the insidious nature that gossip has, people start to take it as fact when that really might not be the case. If you know something's untrue, correct it and move on or ignore it altogether. Really, who cares what people say? Let them talk, their lives must be pretty dull if they need to have someone else be their focus.
Anyways, I recently heard a good one. I had a bunch of people over for cards after I got out of the hospital and I was told by someone else that my neighbour thinks that me and my POF friends are in some group out to swap guys around. Hey, that's a good idea for the next event... POF Swingers Swap. Jesus Christ!  | |
|
| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/15/2007 4:33:03 PM | Doesn't really bother me if people care to "interpret" my actions without really knowing me or the truth about the situation.
Besides...if they are talking about me, they are leaving everybody else alone! | |
|
| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/15/2007 4:53:26 PM |
No, you didn't shrug it off, it bothered you enough you made a thread explaining yourself.
Ah - yes I did shrug it off. I could care less what people think of my actions.
Like I said the guy and I had a chuckle over it and laughed at how the gossip can easily happen on POF and I told him I was going to start this thread.
I just thought it would be interesting to hear what other people have heard about themselves.
Gee does that mean you are worried people will think you are swapping because you brought up what your neighbour told you. | |
|
| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/15/2007 4:55:47 PM | So correct me if I am wrong here, but if you and I left an event together, Mon Cherie...does that mean they think we are "doing it?" I'd best clear out this email inbox..something tells me it is gonna get busy soon!!
OT: Screw `em...they must have boring lives. | |
|
| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/15/2007 4:57:35 PM | Mon Cherie, POF can be full of gossip and rumours, but it's no different from anywhere else. Whether it be work, circle of friends, school, etc, it can and will happen, it's not exclusive of POF. Like you did, just laugh it off and ignore it.
OT: I don't know of any current rumours about myself, but I am sure there are plently out there.  | |
|
| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/15/2007 5:04:03 PM | Tafkas -
guess that would be the assumption based on their thinking
we all know that assumption = making an
a s s out of u and me
Wish I got lucky as much as people think sometimes.
Any other rumour stories?? I want to hear about the hot tub one Loki. | |
|
| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/15/2007 5:10:51 PM | I heard the hot tub rumours, but what I'd like to know is what is the truth and what was rumour......
| |
|
| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/15/2007 5:13:20 PM | | Mon Cherie, I'm not afraid of what my neighbour tells people, she's a nut. Does it bother me though that someone is talking about me without my being able to defend myself? I suppose in some way, yes, but in the big scheme of things, it just illustrates how pathetic people are. Let her talk, it's jealously at it's best. I thought it was pretty funny actually. But if people are so concerned with what you're doing and who you're with, then realize that they have nothing better to do with their lives and that's pitiful. | |
|
| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/15/2007 5:15:16 PM | I guess I will have to follow the cute ones out the door to create some fun. People all need something to talk about.
Don't worry be happy! | |

OT: Mon Cherie - Don't worry about that crap. Who cares! You know what happen and what other people think or gossip about, it doesn't matter. | |

| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/16/2007 6:13:58 PM | | Wait, that's not what happened at that games night Brazen? What night did I go to then?! | |
|
| rumours and gossip Posted: 4/16/2007 7:53:00 PM | On here - I supposedly don't exist, and I am not who I say I am... as stated in a few forums started by one person.
Because I got sick, and disappeard from public for a couple of years (I used to be a social butterfly) - all of a sudden I had aids, hepititis, pregnant about 8 times, gained 200 pounds - even became a streetwalker! LOL Some people really need to get lives. It doesn't bother me, because I look at the sources its coming from - and obviously these people need to talk trash about others because they realize deep down inside - they are nothing special themselves. | |
