The first story I will tell I think fits into the category of WE95 question number 5, although I am not so sure about it. Since it involves several accusations against me, quite serious ones. Plus it happened when I was barely 18 years old.
The other story was 4 years ago and there I was totally guilty.
Accidental accusation
Accidental accusations occur - Have you done it or been accused yourself? Post about the scenario, what happened and what situations resulted from it? Was there an apology or did those involved roll with the false accusation? Did it ruin a relationship or make it stronger, or damage your reputation? Feel free to avoid specific details if you like, just give us the general information.
First Story
I was still young and very happy to have found a job as a nanny. The best thing for me was that I was going to work for a wealthy family and I would be paid quite well.
The first day of work everything was amazing, I would simply be in charge of accompanying the three children. Of course I would also have to feed them, although I wouldn't cook, because they already had a cook.
As the days went by, I realized that my boss was looking at me and approaching me more than usual. On one occasion he asked me if I wanted his children, I told him that they were very nice children. But he insisted and asked me again if I loved them more than my favorite pet.
At that moment I thought, what is wrong with this guy, how can he say that to me. I answered him that one thing has nothing to do with the other, besides my cat lives with me and I created a bond of affection with him, since he is part of my family.
After that, a few minutes later, he grabbed me by the waist, while I was on my back. I pushed him hard and told him not to do that again, that I was not that kind of woman.
The next day I was playing with the kids when suddenly my boss's wife calls me. I go to the living room and she tells me in a very annoyed voice that she doesn't want me to watch her kids, how can I care more about my cat than her kids. Also that I was being flirtatious with her husband.
She started yelling at me and insulting me, she threatened to call the police.
I left, but first I told her that she was a raving lunatic and that if anyone was hurting those kids it was them. The truth is that they were quite strange people.
I have never been in trouble with the law before, I have always been a model citizen and I was scared to death when I received a summons. The woman accused me of child abuse 😩.
Thank goodness the accusation did not prosper.
But no one ever apologized to me, but I did sue them to get paid and in the end I won :)
Second Story
About 4 years ago I started going to a gym, there were many trainers. The most attractive of them all was besieged by several women, although they said he wasn't interested in any of them.
The funny thing was that he started to be very attentive to me and the other women attending his gym class looked at me with envy. Then I found out that there was a rumor going around that I was dating him, so they all stopped saying hello to me.
I didn't feel like going to classes anymore, but I started to have feelings for the coach and we started hanging out.
Everything was wonderful, if rather strangely hidden. Although that gave the bonus of being more exciting our relationship.
Until I realized that the rumors were getting more annoying by the day, at one point I confronted one of my gym mates.
She got angry and told me I was shameless for being with a man who was engaged to another woman.
I almost fainted when I found out that everyone knew he had a bride and would soon be marrying her. Needless to say, I looked like a slut in the eyes of everyone in the place.
I went to him and he confirmed absolutely everything, but that he wanted to stay with me. I told him to go to hell and that I would never have been with him if I had known he had a bride.
In the end I never went back to the gym and as time went by I found out that he broke up with his bride.
Well those were my two stories and I just want to tell you that I love my pets. I don't care what others think of me as they are my feelings and only I know what I suffered rescuing those little animals. As for the bullying boss and the lying trainer, I have never heard from them again. One made me look like a child molester, a husband stealer too and the other a slut in the eyes of many. False accusations that, had they been successful, would have landed me in jail. Not only because of the children, but because the coach's girlfriend threatened me that her father was a major in the police 🙄.
