    I was accused of being a bad teacher when a vengeful student reported me with frivolous issues to the department. They were just mad at me because i scolded them for acting like a bunch of monkeys (although they are full-grown adults). Coming in and going out whenever they like. Some were even 2 hours and 58 minutes late (it's supposed to be a 3 hour class). So they hold grudge on me, reported me. I reacted calmly in front of everyone, but cried when i was alone. I calmly explained what actually happened. But a week after that (which was last week) i simply got laid off for no apparent reason. I can take this matter to the Labor law people, some of my students were even high ranking police officers they told me they can help me sue the authority. But i still react calmly saying that it might have been destined to be this way. In the end, i'm jobless now. Not to say that i need the money. Thank God i'm not from an underprivileged family or something like that. It's just a sad thing to be jobless. I normally secure a new job before i leave the old job. And today is my birthday yet i feel like a loser. Sorry if i talk too much...

    Accused of using vulgar and filthy language to an old lady in the neighborhood...absolutely floored me! Talked to brothers and friends to try to find out why she'd accused me of such a thing...came to learn a new family had moved to the town in the last week who had a kid that was almost like a twin to me...took my friends up there to talk to him and he agreed to come down there and clear it up...whereupon he started cussing the lady again till we stopped him.

    She apologized and explained to my parents and the other parents around...but she never would even nod to me in passing after that.

    I was accused of killing everyone in the room. Forensics ultimately proved the house cat did it before committing suicide and they eventually released me, but only after I agreed to play one more hand of gin rummy with the guards at the jail. They were trying to win their money back.

    specific. Ever seen "The Fugitive" with Harrison Ford? That tale is authentic. consistent with what somewhat befell whilst i grew to become into wrongly convicted of murdering my (then) female chum. they only beefed it up by skill of making me a doctor and changing it to my spouse.
