Question of the Day

[ayoub]

Have you ever been accused of something you didn't do?

More times than I care to remember.

Fortunately, somewhere along the way I realized that occurances such as that spoke more to the nature of the accuser than myself.
They tend to be those who make assumptions rather than ask questions.

Very true :D

In middle school me I did this outline for a paper that turned out so much like this other girl's in my class that my teacher thought we were cheating, when we really weren't.

In highschool one teacher really thought I took speed. She told me to lay off the drugs (I've never done anything, even prescriptions, so what does that say about my personality)...

And my sorority has been the latest thing to be quite accusatory.. meh.


Generally, I tend to have done most things I'm accused of. I'm not a very private individual.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're not someone I would have pegged as a cheat... :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

It's no fun :(

[the-ravyn.livejournal.com]

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

It's bloody annoying...

[electricsoupie.livejournal.com]

Nope I'm guilty of everything *evil grin*

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL! :D

[infinitywhisper.livejournal.com]

Too many times to count. . . and too many times where I REALLY needed them to believe the truth.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I've had that...

My favorite was: On a trip home from college, I happened to have a plastic fish in my luggage, which a friend had passed out to all even-remotely-standing-by people at end of term. It was just something that made me smile, because it was kind of goofy. Anyway, my sister saw it and asked about it, and I thought it was a stupid question, so I told her about it. And my mom called me as soon as I got back to college and asked me all about this fish cult I had joined where we did drugs and had wild orgies in the woods. [Considering that I barely do ASPIRIN, and at that time, while a non-virgin, I was deliberately celibate, it kind of made one's jaw drop. ...]

A semester or two, a bunch of us were sitting around the table at breakfast on a Monday morning, bitching about our weekend, and whether or not we had "gotten any". I suddenly decided that life was not living in such a way that getting laid was one's sole reason for existence, especially as miserable as it was making all of us (and as successful as we were at it!), so I took a vow of celibacy for a semester -- basically, all it meant was that I was not going to any way think about getting any, just kind of live life and enjoy everything else that I had. There were about five of us that did this. (About three of us bi and poly, I think.) Anyway, since we weren't all running around trying to find disposable sex partners all semester, we all hung out together (we were rarely seen in anything less than a pack of three), we shared sodas, we held hands, we kissed (non-passionately, because none of us were really attracted to each other, we were just really good friends). So anyway, near the end of the semester someone asked us how they could get into the deal and have hot monkey sex all the time like the five of us. [I'll tell you, though, it was fun all of us saying (once we'd finally stopped laughing like hyenas), loudly and in unison, "Be celibate!"] [Well, I guess you had to have been there, but it was fun!] Poly bi celibates, woo-hoo! LOL

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL!

[delphaicdragon.livejournal.com]

Dear gods, I've lost track of how many times.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

**hugs**

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

All the damn time. I've learned (and re-learned so many more times) people will believe what they want to believe, and nothing else will change that.

I've been known to make it a bit of a game (granted, it's a bitter game - but a game, none the less) to see how much of it they're willing to dish out before I've had enough and decide to do something about it. The end results aren't usually all that pleasant.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've learned to keep copies of all correspondence...

Je Accuse!

[epiphany.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm thinking about it and... I don't think so! Nothing that comes to mind that I have any old standing resentment about in the moment anyway.

More often than not I think I've gotten away with things I *should* have been accused of and wasn't! LOL

Re: Je Accuse!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL!

[fire-fox01.livejournal.com]

Yes but when it was proven that I didn't do it the person apologized and considering the circumstances I couldn't really blame them. Much.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

At least you got an apology!

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

My entire life, including the first day my mother stuck me in pre-school daycare. I've taken punishments for things I did not do, including six hours in a jail cell for a crime I didn't commit.

And it bloody well sucks every time, whether it's a disapproving glare, or being trapped in a small room against your will, or merely a dramatic blow up.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yes, most definitely bro!

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

Probably. Can't really remember, so it must not have been bad. Oh wait, no there was this one time when a customer service rep said that I'd made a mistake when it had been her mistake. I was a paranoid anal-retentive person, though, and I had documentation that proved she was lying and that it hadn't been my mistake. So there was that. Other than that...can't think of anything.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

It's good to keep the documentation!

[crescent-fresh.livejournal.com]

yeah. stupid patriot act.

[miriyasterling.livejournal.com]

makes you want to say the word bomb everytime your on your cellphone right?

[sirenity.livejournal.com]

Yes but it seems that more often than not, I get accused of doing something good rather than bad. People seem to think I'm a better person than I really am which brings on tremendous amounts of guilt and humility. lol

Ahhh well, someone's gotta take the credit, right? ;)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D :P

[rowanchey.livejournal.com]

I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't been accused of something they didn't do...

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Heh... true...

[laurel714.livejournal.com]

Ohmyheck yes. Recently even. I was staying in a hotel with my dog and when I went to take her out in the morning, the proprietor jumped all over me for letting my dog crap in the hallway. My dog DIDN'T crap in the hallway and I said as much, but they made it clear they thought I was lying. WTF?!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That's annoying!

[gsharper13.livejournal.com]

Most of the time

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Bloody annoying...

[empatia.livejournal.com]

Nope, never...I have never been beautiful or breath taking but I have this sweet and innocent look about me, people don't even believe me when I do, do something...it's bloody annoying!! I could kill someone (not that i ever would) and get away with it.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL! You could get away with so much!

[soulview.livejournal.com]

Yes .. more than once.

Once .. it involved my daughter, her dad and stepmom, me and my then bf and the police. It did not go past the interview process though and the findings were absolutely nothing and therefore it was closed immediately.

:/

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That one sounds like a story that should be shared :D

[mysticpickle.livejournal.com]

Who hasen't? I am imagineing everyone in the entire world has even if never confronted to know they were.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yep, probably...

[miriyasterling.livejournal.com]

Yes, often by friends I thought should know me better.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That's the one that sucks the most...
