View Full Version : Making A Mountain Out of a Mole Hill...

I really need to address this situation and felt that here was the best place to do it.
A couple of nights ago I got up in the middle of the night, disorientated, and ending up having a pretty bad accident - in the dark and not with my senses about me - I tripped and went flying into my window/radiator and ended up bursting open my lip and bashing my head pretty badly also.
It wasn't till I saw all the blood and a cracked window (there single glazed windows and I have a pretty hard head lol), that I was alert suddenly and began to panic and scream in fright.
Plus, I was home alone - even worse. I managed to phone an ambulance even though I was panicing and in shock.
I've since had a few stitches in my lip and am fine other than that - but that's not the point, it's the false rumours and exaggerations going around the town about it that's bugging me.
A silly accident has suddenly become speculation that someone did this to me, or it was an argument/fight that lead this to happen. This is all 100% not true. I was home alone, so for people to accuse my partner of actually doing this, it makes me angry and upset.
He got a bigger fright than me because of what happened to me, it could have been a lot worse, I'm quite lucky I just got a burst lip...so you can imagine how hurtful it is to hear these false rumours.
He'd never cause me harm and anyone who is gossiping about this incident and saying anything to the contrary, you are causing nothing but worry and upset to people who were already feeling that way in the first place.
A mountain is being made out of a mole hill and considering the fact that nobody was actually there when it happened, except myself of course, I find it quite shocking that so many people claim to have "seen this or that", "heard this or that" and are putting 2 and 2 together and getting 6.
I suppose when they are gossiping about it, telling people I was thrown through a window, beaten up, etc, etc - sounds a lot better than the boring true story of what REALLY happened.
So there, the record has been set straight and that should be end of story. A big fuss over nothing!

Glad to hear your on the mend. Thats Caithness folk for you. They like having a chinwag and adding arms and legs.

You fart at Woolies and by the time you reach the railway station, It's thunder.

Im really not sure what to make of that to be honest. Its quite an open post.

Rumors are rumors...we all get a rumor spread about us at some point in Caithness. Maybe yes some more serious than others but there is no need to justify yourself if you know what exactly happened.

What does it matter what other people think?

Are you recovering well though as i can imagine it would have been a bit scary for you.

Thats not the way I got it!
You chinned him,smacked a 'heavy 'over his head-an said that he was an imposter an unknown to you.
So in return he was obliged to upend your good self -an spank the ---out of your butt!
Strange how those things sometimes get twisted;)

Blast!

sorry to hear the rumour mill is running rampant again.. its all well and good to say to ignore it, and get over the rumours.. but at the end of the day, rumours like this can ruin a persons life. not only is it horrible but it is very damaging to a persons reputation. how would any of you like to be label as a child molester, or rapist or wife beater.. even though its not true, once that word gets out.. no one will ever believe you.
all we have in this world is our word, and at the end of the day it does matter what people think of you. in as far as getting a job, being able to go out in public without people glaring at you, being ostracised, we are social creatures so being unjustly made into something we are not is very damaging.
im so sorry this has happened to you, i hate that the caithness grape vine has caused distress and upset. hopefully you will get it all sorted out and every one set straight!

I wrote my post on here as I knew it would be read by a lot of people - including hopefully people who are gossiping. Its a good way to address a situation - as if I was to confront the people making the lies and rumours up - it would take me forever and a day. Because I've lost count of how many people are making up these lies.
I am an honest and open person and have no shame in what I wrote, because at the end of the day, my partner is being accused of something he never did and that is why I wrote this post.
Because accusing him of things like that could cause a lot of damage, and it was a scary enough thing for us to go through - because I could've been hurt a lot worse than I was - without people and their smart arse comments and lies.
I was brave enough to wear my heart on my sleeve and not allow all these people to get away with their false accusations and lies - I was defending my man and I am quite right in doing so.
Any of you thinking this is "made up" or done for attention, are as bad as those who started making their lies up about what happened to me.
The Internet is the perfect place to get my point across and hopefully, set the story straight because people have no right saying what they are saying about it.

But if it was the middle of the night and you were home alone, then where was your "partner"?

If he was working away or on shifts, then that would be the end of the rumour before it started, and there would be no need for this thread.

You keep repeating that you were home alone, as if to emphasize something.

How can you not find some humour in this. Yes this post is trying to set the record straight, but seriously, if you really need 100% sympathy then caithness.org is not the place, certainly not in the General section.

There is a huge range or personalitys on here, this is saturday night, i expect there are a few with a tinny or dram beside them, maybe it's counceling you need. Sounds very traumatic falling over in the middle of the night, by yourself.

i'm sure that nobody is making a joke of your injuries,
and i'm certain that there are many many orgers who have accidentally ended up with facial bruises who have then worried about the general public thinking they must be some sort of pished bampot ... i know i've been in this position.

whenever folk see a black eye or a bruise, they automatically think ...'aye aye, he/she's had a good night'

at the end of the day , who gives a fig about what strangers think about you or your man ?

the insensitive remarks you've received in this thread surely won't surprise you though, this is the orgers alternative way of healing your wounds ...

25-Oct-09, 12:41
Emc246, that's just what happens here in Caithness, and elsewhere it has to be said. If nothing is happening someone will make something happen or turn the afore mentioned mole hill into a mountain. A friend of mine spoke to a journalist about a book she had done and mentioned a story -a true story and mentioned no names whatsoever- that someone read and thought was about his family, and it was not. It was a case of 'Well if that is what he wants to believe then that is up to him.' You have to be a bit philosphical at times, but it must have been hard when your oh was getting the blame. I hope you are feeling better now.

There are good and bad everywhere but all you have both done is make yourselves look bad with posts like that.
We all face gossip at some point in life the key is to hold your head high and get on with life.


I said "most" in my post. there are some really good people in caithness but i am a awful cynic and i have met alot of caithnessians who just wanted to make up muck about someone instead of accepting what the person said.
Its like the org there are posters we like to avoid, i think the same about some people who live in caithness. But as i said i'm a awful cynic so don't take my word for it ;)

But if it was the middle of the night and you were home alone, then where was your "partner"?

If he was working away or on shifts, then that would be the end of the rumour before it started, and there would be no need for this thread.

You keep repeating that you were home alone, as if to emphasize something.

:eek:


I have dug up this thread because something bothers me about it. The story just does not ring true in my opinion. I have to ask again: emc246, if it was the middle of the night and you were home alone, then where was your "partner"?

Did you phone him straight away? Did he come straight over from where he was?

Seems she HAS given you the facts stavro and you just arent happy with them. :roll:

When i came to live in Caithness I was told that what people dont know about you they make up. I tried to make sure that people knew pretty much everything i was about. The only way to deal with gossip like this is to smile, nod sagely and wink broadly - then go on and get on with the other things that you have to do.

Emc246 when people were talking about me i used to think well at tleast they are talking about ME and not someone who cares about it. Oh and sorry tobe the one to tell you this but it will be a nine day wonder - see when your bruises and cuts have gone - so will the gossip.

I dont really think she needs to answer your questions stavro - she has given what she says are the facts. Why would you disbeleive her? And if you do why does it matter? She has said that she has set the record straight so what... are you calling her a liar - why would you do that?

Do you have a vested interest in this story? Why do you not let her answer the questions for herself? They are very simple and straightforward after all. Aren't they?

Why? The questions are simple and should not be difficult to answer. This is a serious thread, not some sort of game.

That's true.Maybe she should have locked the thread after posting her statement if she wanted to avoid these type of questions......just a thought!

The original poster, if she did not want any replies or questions about her account of this unfortunate incident, could have locked the thread.

But she did not. And, let's face it, the questions I am asking should be very simple to answer, if she wants to answer them. This would be the best way to dispel rumours.

Agree with you there. Most caithness people are much happier making up rubbish about you than telling the truth.[disgust]

Rubbish. I'm from Caithness and I am really not interested in what goes on in another person's home, let alone making it up! And all my friends are the same. Granted there are those who thrive on other's misfortunes, but you get that enywhere you go - probably worse in small communitues - but stop tarring us all with the same brush!:mad:

Coming on here and posting is just telling the story to more people? Obviously yes but I mean I don't even know who you are and never would have heard this story until YOU said it?

And now if I do find out who you are I'll most likely hear the rumours too which I wouldn't have heard were it not for you coming on here and saying it?

So "Meh"

I don't know about being like "a dog with a bone" :D , but certainly the originator of this thread has gone awfully quiet.

It was my concern for emc246's wellbeing that prompted me to examine her story in more detail, but if she does not want to talk, then that's that.

Come on, it's a small community, what do you expect? You know the truth, your partner knows the truth, that all that matters. Sod everyone else.

I agree with this, who cares what other people think, as long as you and your partner know the truth, then forget about what everyone else says. Stuff them.. I couldn't care less what other people say about me, as long as my loved ones know the truth the rest of the population can tgake a flying....jump

Well, hers by the time she put it on Caithness.Org for whatever motive she had in mind.Only an attention seeker, otherwise one would have left well alone. Who is in the least bit interested in a female wandering about in the dark, why the drama?

True, especially if she then ignores simple and straightforward questions that arise from her original post.

Did I not say? Funny, I thought I had said. Well, whether it concerns other people or not depends upon exactly what happened.

The whole point of the thread was apparently to dispel a rumour about her "partner." But when asked where the "partner" was during this time that she was "home alone," she does not answer. The easiest way to dispel the rumour would be to say that the "partner" was working shifts, or was working on the rigs, for example.

Perhaps he lives with his mum and dad - I don't know - but I do know that the story does not make sense as it currently stands. :eek:

Sorry but I think you're wrong there. This is Caithness remember! In forty years time she'll still be known as the one who pretended to have a fight with a radiator.

Lol, this thread made me laugh. I have experienced stuff been made up - I was accosted in the street by someone who accused me of talking about her. I had not been up here long then and do not know anyone in Thurso to talk to and had certainly not said what she said I had. I was speechless and still puzzled about it now.
