Don't you hate when people make up stuff about you?

[Taverner]

I mean, it's not just high school-ish. Most people of high school age would have the intelligence and maturity to not do such a thing.

It's sub-high-schoolish - it's junior high behavior.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

1. I heard that you once ate the heads off three chickens

to absorb their flightless prowess

:P

[davidinalameda]

2. my mother always said

it's better to be talked about than not talked about

at least someone is paying attention

[jobycom]

3. Well, you wouldn't have that problem if you didn't have three nipples.

Just sayin'

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. Yes.

:mad:

[JimmyJazz]

5. That's NEVER happened to you! Or me either!

(yeah right) :crazy:

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. I know what you mean....

:crazy:

[VelmaD]

6. What I hate worse...

is when people make shit up about my friends.

[ET Awful]

7. That's why I never tell folks you lost both testicles in that bike wreck

They'd think I was making it up.

[SarahB]

8. What happened, Tav?

And yeah, I've dealt with all kinds of misperceptions of me at times in life. It sucks. It's childish. :(

[Karmageddon]

10. All depends what they make up about me.

That part about me being really really really well hung?
Yeah, that's all true.

[pitohui]

11. don't kid yrself

high schoolers do make up stuff, as do adults of all ages, even adults in their 70s, people never outgrow the impulse to mythologize

be glad you are a mythic figure that others swap stories abt

least that's what i try to tell myself

i've certainly heard some wild tales abt my activities

[tjwmason]

12. Depends on what it is which they are inventing

And whether it is accurate.

If it's highly complimentary then I'm rarely bothered.

B.T.W. I heard that JimmyJazz is George Bush Snr. and Maggie Thatcher's love-child.

[FuzzySlippers]

26. Don't be ridiculous!!!

Everyone knows it was Ronnie Raygun who was boinking Maggie Thatcher.

[tjwmason]

29. Yes yes yes

but their union produced the terrible (non-identical) twins FuzzySlippers and sundog.

All I can say is thank goodness that with male Prime Ministers and Presidents since 1991 there's been no change for further procreation.

[matcom]

13. you mean you DON'T have 6 nipples, 4 testicles and..

hemorroids?

oh sorry man. they all SAID you did so i believed them.

[Misunderestimator]

14. Yeah, that tends to piss me off too.

[matcom]

17. hey. EVERYTHING i have made up about you was true!

[izzie]

15. Hay I recall it even about my parents. I was told this---

Just remember they are giving some one else a rest. Who cares it is what I think and my family and to hell with the people who live next door thinks.

[no name no slogan]

16. most of the stuff they make up is better than the stuff i've done

so in some ways it's alright, i guess :shrug:

[emulatorloo]

18. not meaning to be a Lounge downer, but Rove and Bush graduated junior high

and it doesn't stop them from making crap up about people.

Anyway -- I feel bad for whatever you are going thru.

[Susang]

19. I've had to learn to live with it

What really hurts is when people you like and respect actually believe the lies.

[prolesunited]

21. If they believe the lies over you

they don't deserve your respect.

[Bat Boy]

24. I sorry, but I think they're true.

After all, they come from such a credible source.

[Mojambo]

20. Take a cue from our friend Marcus Aurelius

"If you're troubled by something outside yourself, it isn't the thing itself that bothers you, but your opinion of it, and this opinion you have the power to revoke immediately"

[prolesunited]

22. I hate it more

when they verbalize their desire to bash your head in with a crow bar.

[Taverner]

23. Yes, that would suck indeed

Having your head being bashed in with anything is a bad thing

[swag]

25. Freeper.

[UDenver20]

27. No shit...

One of my coworkers started a rumor around my office that I was bulimic. I'm 5-6, weigh 160lbs, bench press 180lbs, Curl 70lb barbells, and eat five-six times a day... (And no... I don't throw any of it up.....LOL)

Do I FUCKING SOUND LIKE I HAVE AN EATING DISORDER?

(haha... I know this is about much more than me, like Rove and Bush and all those clowns)... but I was having a "me moment" - sorry... haha)

[swag]

28. Nobody ever does. Everybody knows so much awful shit about me.

Nobody has to make anything up.

[Left Is Write]

30. Yes. I do. I really, really do.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

31. What did someone make up about you?
