Wrongful Accusations

PurringMyrrh

Soooo...I was up at the kiosk reading the mail I just got, and a gentleman I don't recognize pulled up and got his. I pulled away right after he did and he turned up my road and kept going. I pulled in my driveway, and got out only to realize I didn't have my mailbox keys (actually they're my brother's keys and have a housekey, etc.), so I jammed back up there thinking I'd left them in the lock. Nope. Looked all around, in the vehicle. Nope. Instantly the thought came into my head "It was that guy! He took them, knows where I live, and is gonna break in or something!". I drove up my road and found his truck. Mind you, I don't know him or any but one of my neighbors. He answers the door and I ask (all polite and sweet-like) if he happened to grab my keys out of the box. He was acting so suspicious and stuttery that it only confirmed what I was thinking. I asked if he was sure because he was the only one there since I was. Again with the stuttery "no"s and "oh I did that a while back too"s. I thanked him and as I was leaving was like, "I hope so because if my house gets robbed the cops will be here first." Then pulled away...then found my keys in my truck like five minutes later. Ugh.

Now I have to go apologize and/or make cookies so I don't look like such a penis. I hate being wrong and having to admit it! F!

Any stories of making an as$ of yourself via wrongful accusations?

Yes.... Very similar. I was waiting for a package from my SIL and it never came and never came. So I called her and she said that she got a notice that it had been delivered. So I thought maybe it was takes to the wrong house by mistake. I went to a couple of my neighbors and asked, none of them had it. Then I went to one house and an old lady who spoke no English answered the door. I was trying to explain what I was looking for and while I think that she understood me I had no idea what she was saying. Then I noticed a pile of ups boxes on her couch. I was sure that one of them was mine so I kind of talked my way in and looked though all the boxes.... None of them were mine. I sheepishly made my way out the door and went home. I found out that my package was across town at the same address just north instead of south, and the reason the lady had all the boxes was because she couldn't read and she waits once a week for her son to come over and sort her mail. I felt like an *kitten*.

:laugh: Ahahaha! That's such the pits! And such a crap feeling.

The guy accepted my apology with a laugh, so I feel a tad better. Just a tad though.
