Accused very seriously by a pair of colleagues of deliberately fecking up the computer network. On a heritage project. Fairly visceral snarky ruthless individuals.

I should have got a solicitor and brought a case of bullying against both of them.

But I was still affected by my poor performance in college -

The same year 2000, my last full time year in college, 3rd Year, Diploma in IT had ended in tears - and I could'nt proceed to the Degree Year, 4th year.

Fast forward to 2017. The only thing now is that I don't have an "Alma Mater" to hark back to and ah sure life goes on.

I've been accused of plenty but the best had to have been when the guards came smashing through my front door on a fine saturday morning at an ungodly hour telling me I have been selling millions worth of guns. Needless to say they got it so very wrong.

Nothing too serious.

Was in a shop a couple of years back and not sure if I just went to ATM or bought something, but was walking out the door when someone grabbed me by backpack. Turned around to have a security guard basically checking to see if I'd stolen something. I was a bit in shock, he didn't say much...All very confusing. If I knew then what I know now I could have had a nice money earner on my hands

Accused of throwing stones on the local farmers milking parlor roof resulting in said farmer getting a kick in his bollix from whichever cow he was attending at the time.

Shhhhh....... i need my real identity kept secret.

Backstory to this:

Living with an ex of mine sharing an apartment with one other lad. Gotten woken to the guards smashing the door in, they had a warrant "Offenses against the state act". After the scare of having 10-12 armed guards pointing in our faces we got chatting to the Super. He told us that they got an anon tip off pointing them in the direction of our apartment as to a source of guns been sold in dublin. It was all mad really but we got it cleared up thanks to our land lord and the fact they had zero evidence at all even for the search.

I think I was about 8 years old and one Christmas morning my Dad was utterly convinced I'd snuck down earlier in the morning to peek at the presents. Nothing I said would convince him I hadn't. It couldn't have been the first time I'd been accused of something in the wrong but it definitely stands out in my memory as a time when I felt very unfairly treated.

Had a similar incident with AGS a few years back, myself & my wife were relaxing watching TV one night when at about 9pm someone starting banging down the hall door, went out and there was about half a dozen armoured up garda with at least one garda van and 2 cars outside with their lights flashing away... straight away I suspect they copped they had the wrong address but came in anyway... asked me was it my house, I said it was, asked how long I'd lived there, told them about 10 years, they said I couldnt have, then was I sure? Said I was, they calmed down a tad at that stage, up to that point looking like they were expecting to be taking on an armed gang or suchlike... asked a few more questions about lodgers etc, said we'd never had any, then apologised and asked did we know such and such, said we didnt and they mumbled a it & left... weird thing is we live next door to a garda and when we told her a few days later she said she'd look into it for us but i sounded like a clear mistaken address & it wasnt like the garda to make such a monumantal f**k up... never heard anything after & had no garda back so assume they copped it wasnae us up to no good! So a f**k up it was!

At least they only banged on the door & didnt kick the thing in or smash through the windows SAS style!!

I was in the back seat of a car with a crowd of lads once when the driver complained about the car behind having full headlights on. I glanced over my shoulder and, sure enough, was dazzled by the bastard. I had my arm across the back window so I, stupidly, started pointing downwards in an attempt to let him know his lights were full on.

In a microcosm of how the luck has fallen in my life, blue lights started flashing about three feet above the full-on headlights. The cops. I was dragged out of the car none too gently and down to the Garda Station. Needless to say the driver wasn't prepared to accept he had been driving with full lights and they were accusing me of flipping the finger at them for the craic. As it happened, they were happy enough to scare the crap out of me and I was let go with a warning. What a ridiculous way to get a court appearance that would have been.

I got a job in a very cheap jewellery shop after my finals, went in on Saturday morning to be met by my boss and her right hand assistant to be told that they had put an extra ten pounds in my wages and as I hadn't reported it I was untrustworthy and therefore instantly dismissed. To say I was stunned was an understatement. Totally confused I went back home.

Id got paid the day before and been given my wage packet. I was meeting my girlfriend at lunchtime and without checking what Id been paid I took out twenty quid to go out that night and then handed the wage packet to her asking her if she would take it to the bank and put it in my account. Which she did, took the money out of the envelope, counted it and made out a counter slip for it, but of course she didn't think to check what the wage slip had said, and whether it corresponded to the amount a she didn't know exactly how much I had taken out, so she queued up and handed it to the bank teller.

So according to them, I "stole" it, without even realising. I went back to them to try to explain what had happened but of course they didn't want to accept my story. I was devastated that my reputation could be tarnished like that. It still rankles to be honest many years later

Got hit from behind by a driver who hilariously accused me of cutting across her. She tried to overtake me and ran out of road and hit me as she pulled in behind me. Went to court, she lied to the (female) judge who believed her. I lost my no claims bonus and had to pay for her self-inflicted damage on her car.

Writing something on a wall about a teacher in secondary school, still has me slightly pissed off. The little **** who did it never owned up, I was hung out to dry and was threatened with expulsion. Wasn't till about 6 years after that I found out who it was.

Thats exactly what I asked. Like I said, she told a different version of events and was believed.

When I was about 10, two of my friends saw a neighbour who was about 16 smoking and they knocked into his house and told his mother.

For some reason, he got it into his head that it was me that told on him. I didn't even see him smoking and wouldn't have thought to say anything about it to his mother but he was really quite nasty to me and kept calling me a bitch for about a year any time I'd walk by him. After a while he seemed to forget about it and was friendly then.

redfacedbear · 12-06-2017 05:09PM

Assault.

A chap, who grew up around the corner from me, got lippy with a local skanger while walking home from the pub and got a bit of a hiding for his trouble.

I never found out the hows or the whys but he ended up making false statements to the Gardaí naming me and 2 friends as the perpetrators (despite us being nowhere near him at the time).

There followed an ugly few months while his friends and family feigned righteous indignation whenever any of us showed our faces about town.

Still rankles 20 years later.

Not me but a friend. New Year's Eve when she was out she got chatting to this absolutely wasted wan, wan was giving out that some randomer had called her 'vapid' earlier in the evening. Friendo wasn't unwasted herself so they had quite an indepth talk about how that wasn't a nice thing to say and where do some people get off insulting strangers etc., cheered the girl up and they parted ways.

Few weeks later she's out, sees the same girl and waves, girl goes "Hey I know you!" thinks about it for a second and goes "You called me VAPID ON NEW YEAR'S EVE!". Just remembered the comment and my friend's face and couldn't be convinced that my friend had actually comforted her rather than made the dig. Took a while to get her to fcuk off apparently.

The exact same thing happened me in secondary school. I was accused of writing something about a female teacher in the toilets cos I was in there when the prick of a headmaster came in, saw the writing on the wall and accused me of doing it. I was interrogated by him in his office and ended up storming out angrily denying it. Nothing came of it in the end.
