Have you ever been accused of something you didn't do...no matter how big or how small?

I have to tell you there is nothing more guaranteed to get me angry than to accuse me unjustly of something regardless of how trivial it may seem to others.

I'm the type of person who if I do something wrong or if I'm asked if I did something wrong, I will immediately admit it was me..but don't ever accuse me unjustly or you will see a side of me that is extremely unpleasant.:mad:

How about you..ever been accused of something you didn't do..and what were the consequences?
 

The thing is Annie, I won't mind if someone asks me did you do such and such, and give me the opportunity to admit or deny but when you get right out accused of doing something...you must have...you did...etc.. it enrages me, I have known to lose my temper completely in the past when that happens

Yes, I've had that before and it makes me furious!
 
I was accused of speeding past a home when our car never left our yard that day.
When I told the person that, instead of saying sorry, she laughed!!
Needless to say we do not talk to each other now and I don't miss chatting with her
because she is a troublemaker in the neighbourhood.
 
I was accused of something just recently here.. Blew my cork.. If I do something then like Holly I own up to it.. but don't go makin' stuff up

That's me too QS...exactly the same .!!


Raven sounds like your neighbour is a Bully as well as a troublemaker...sorry you have to live near someone like that..
 
The things you folks are talking about here are the 'small' things that make minor bumps in the road of life for us. They cause irritation, aggravation, etc., But in BC, a man just got released from 27 years of prison after being accused of a series of rapes thirty years ago, and it turns out that he was as innocent as he kept saying he was all these years. I guess the original prosecutor had neglected to mention to the court that the police did have another suspect so the jury found him guilty and he lost 27+ years of his life! He's now suing of course but even so, a big haul in cash seriously wouldn't make up for what he went through for half his life.

Yes, in comparison what we get angry about is microscopic compared to something like this. No amount of money will buy back the 27 years he lost.
 
Well... that's sort of stating the obvious Debby.. But here's my analogy... I stub my toe... You break your leg... I fully and completely know your broken leg is far more serious than my stubbed toe.. and feel horrible about your leg.... however, my toe still hurts.
 
Yes we know about the injustice of those poor people who spend many years in prison accused unjustly, some who aren't as 'lucky' as this man and stay there until they die, or are even killed,. I really believe because of how I react when accused unjustly of (in the great scheme of things) relatively minor things..that if ever I was to be in the position of those innocent people in prison, I would absolutely lose my mind, I don't think there would be any question about that..I have no idea how they manage to stay sane!!

It must be a universal man-thing. My sisters and friends complain of that, too. My late husband (and my present boyfriend) are good at that; typical remark: "What did you do with my 3/4 inch reciprocating socket wrench????" My usual answer: "Well, I was using it to defrost the refrigerator.....I must have left it in the freezer" accompanied by a dirty look.
 
I was the one my father blamed whenever his pen went missing, for some strange reason, and naturally, he always had misplaced it himself.
Even after a long absence when I came to visit when I was around 45 years old, you guessed it, he misplaced his pen and blamed me, I had to laugh, it was so ridiculous.
 
I was a victim of identity theft and several credit cards were applied for using my ss#. I was able to catch the problem quickly enough to prevent any serious problems and I didn't loose any money. Actually I was surprised that once I explained what had happened I was believed. I've heard stories of other victims who weren't and ended up living a nightmare.

My husband got a phone call just the other day from the bank, asking him if he was making a purchase of x number of dollars! I guess someone had tried to buy something on his card and because it was something he didn't usually buy, the system picked up on it, refused the purchase and then called Don to verify. So he wound up cancelling that number right away and they replaced the card that was in his wallet.

So I guess it just goes to show, as you've found out Josiah, you never know when somebody is going to take advantage or use you (or your identity anyway). This sort of thing goes a long way towards developing a culture of suspicion though doesn't it?
