I let someone lie about me having a web camera in my apartment once and it saved me a headache. Circa 2010, I took a girl from work home from a work party. We ended up dating for like a few months and hooking up regularly, but it was hush hush because work, even though we were different departments
Shortly thereafter. folks from work saw us out together and the rumor mill started so we stopped(wasn't going anywhere anyways).
I'm not sure why, maybe she didn't like the rumor mill tarnishing her reputation as a sweet young innocent girl, but she lied to a bunch of people and told them it only happened once and that she was blackout drunk and that I had taken advantage of her.
I started getting the cold shoulder at work and not being invited out to the work drinking nights and I had no idea why. Eventually one of the girls at work, whom my roommate Cam asked why she was acting like such an asshole to me, blew up and me and told him the ******** story.
My roommate, God bless his soul, knew she was over regularly and that it was ********, but he went the extra mile. First he told that girl "lol, ask Koji to read his Blackberry messenger history and you will see that girl was regularly coming over for friends with benefits **** stone sober in the middle of the day. And i should know, I had to listen to them after backshifts.... ".
He approached the girl in question and warned her that big gaming computer setup in my room also recorded everything we did and that i had videos of her jumping all over me stone sober.
It was ********. I'd never record anyone. But my gaming setup being right by my bed made it believable enough that she frantically started Messaging me later that day LOL. My roommate filled me in that he had let that ******** that i recorded her slip just so she would believe i would have evidence against lies.
I was kinda fuming and stressed by this point, but I had to play along. I just told her I refuse to answer by text and if she wanted to talk she could meet me for coffee to "clear up" some things.
That conversation was.....I'll say funny.
The other girl from work approached me and asked to read my BBM history
Long story short, my name was cleared in the court of public opinion and i was invited back out to work drinking nights lol. But my God that was a stressful stretch.
