Have you ever been blamed for something you honestly didn't do?

Years ago when i was a young teenager my parents bought a new car and i'd often go with my mum and younger siblings to the car wash. Anyway a horrid smell would always enter the car mid-wash and there would be nothing we could do until the car wash had stopped.. Well for years my parents told anyone who would listen that i'd fart in the car wash when they couldn't wind down the windows.. It didn't matter how much i denied it, they always thought i was lying.... That was until the day my mum went to the car wash on her own and smelt the awful smell.. She then realised that the water was recycled and i didn't have bad flatulence.. So tell me what have you ever been blamed for that you honestly didn't do?

sometimes yes, but usually those are petty things like chores are home that i do, or things i did not do, or messages i did not give when i answered for someone, like it was always me who must do everything..

Yes I have, I was blamed for taking some earrings, for at least a week until my friend realized she actually hid them from herself. No matter how much I said I didn't take them she didn't believe me. In this situation it really made me look at it like she didnt really trust me as her friend...

Yes it has happened to me alot of time both in personal as well as professional life. In my personal life, one of my wife's friends tried to create mess in our relationship by blaming me of something which I never did. She narrated the incidence so well that my wife had to believe her and ultimately she ended up fighting with me. Although, we were able to clear up the things later but the phase which I went through because of this is unforgettable.

That was a terrible thing for your parents to do. It was embarrassing for you and to tell other people that is cruel to your feelings. I understand what you feel. I was blamed for things that my older sister would do and I would get grounded for it. Finally at the age of 16 I stood up for myself and never took punishment again. Mine would consist of beatings and grounding. I learned from the past and I have tried to pass on positive training to my daughters. It is hard to be a perfect parent and there are times that I was regretful for things I said or did. I still talk to my daughters about those times today. What did your mother say to you when she finaly realised that it wasn't you? Was she remorseful?

(((hugs))) i spent virtually my whole childhood being grounded.. not that i actually did the wrong thing, but it was easier for them to ground me than to let me have freedom.. My mother wasn't remorseful.. she just thought it was funny that everyone thought i did it.. :(

yes it happened twice with me and both the tim ei was very unhappy and tried to defend myself til the las momnent but i never got away with that. sometimes these things happen in life and we have to accept it. but then we have to make our self clear so that our respect is still there. we have to defend to tell that we have something to say

its not once that i have faced something of the sort, i have been blamed for things that other people did wrong and i didnt have anything to do with that matter. but i have a simple rule not to get too offended when someone does that rather have patience and prove it that i have done nothing wrong just to let the accuser feel how wrong they have been in judging me.

Ya i m blamed for many reasons but i think that is all for good and i m getting god for doing that. For example i was helping my friend in money matters and my family was scolding for that and it is the time to get praised from my family cause i m getting a good reward from him and his family and i have a pretty good name in their house.

I have been blamed once for cutting the leaves of my mom's favorite plan in our garde. It felt so bad because I didn't do it, it's the passers by and not me. I just didn't reacted too much to avoid fights.
