When on trial for a crime, no matter how great or small, you are still innocent until proven guilty.

Sadly, when it comes to your friends, family, or bosses you may not be presumed innocent and might find yourself scolded for a missing piece of clothing or technology, forgetting to close a window, or any number of menial, inconsequential things.

In spite of the fact that you, in fact, didn't do it and there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that you did.

Nonetheless, whether their judgement is clouded by frustration, or they were simply looking for a reason to scold and yell at you, you still might find yourself at their wrath.

Even if you can't help but giggle at what you're being accused of.


Redditor pisces2003 was eager. to hear the most ludicrous things people found themselves unjustifiably accused of, leading them to ask:
"What’s the dumbest thing someone accused you of without any evidence?"

You Expect Me To Use This?!?!

"My mother-in-law accused me of buying a sh*tty brand of hair spray, leaving it in our guest bathroom for her to use, and trying to trick her into thinking it was hers."

"She actually brought it to our house the previous time she visited and left it behind. It was totally hers."- thecooley

He Must Have Run Quite The Distance...

"Throwing stones at her goats."

"I would not throw stones at goats, but she went to my mother’s house and accused me."

"She said she had just chased me off after I did it."

"My mother told her that, if that is what she saw, then she would punish me the moment that I got home, if she would like to wait."

"My mother supplied her with tea and biscuits and, later, a light snack."

"Offered her a stronger drink, too."

"After a long time, the goat lady asked if my mother had any idea what time I would be home."

“'Well, he has only been gone a week, so another two weeks, I imagine'.”

"My mother replied, as I went to a boarding school and stayed away for three weeks at a time."- Pedantichrist

Maybe She Planted A Bug?

"A college roommate reported me to the campus police for selling drugs."

"She stated that she was in our dorm room and overheard me selling drugs to another student in the laundry room."

"Our dorm room was on the 12th floor, laundry room was in the basement of the building."

"She got pissed when campus police laughed at her statement."- MissConduct0120

How Dare You Not Break The Law To Help Me!

"I once had a co-worker write to my manager to complain I was racist because I wouldn’t pirate a copy of Norton Utilities and give it to her."- Yorkie_Mom_2

Wrong Ex, maybe?

"One time I started getting a bunch of texts from an ex accusing me of being on a trip with some other girl and throwing all kinds of insults my way."

"Not only was she my ex and I was not talking to her or planning to reconcile, so that if I was in fact on a trip with some other girl it was none of her business, but I was actually literally sitting on my couch with my dog watching TV."

"I told her I hadn't the slightest idea of what she was yelling about and sent her a picture of me and my dog in my living room."

"She replied, "F*ck," and I didn't hear from her for weeks until the crazy ultimately outweighed any embarrassment she felt."

"To this day I have no idea why she thought I was on a trip in the first place, especially since her texts were pretty specific and she mentioned where she claimed I was and other details."- Tough_Stretch

Could Have Been Worse?

"I was accused of throwing a potato at a shed, totally not true."- bobbejaan79

They Were At Least Half Right...

"Insubordination for failing to report in to work for over a month."

"I resigned a month earlier."- Fifth_Wall0666·

Wrong Place At The Wrong Time

"I was in either first grade or kindergarten, and the chain link fence on the side of our playground had fallen over / caved in."

"Me and my friends looked at it and wondered how it happened."

"Then a teacher came by and yelled at us for breaking the fence and we all got put in time-out for the rest of recess."

"WE WERE 6, HOW WOULD WE MANGLE A CHAIN LINK FENCE WITH OUR HANDS?!"- Rabid_Chocobo

Some Might Consider This A Compliment...

"In High School, half the school thought I was Gay, and the other half thought I was a vegetarian."

"I'm neither, and I have no idea how the two related."- Group_of_no_one

When All You Were Doing Was Trying To Help...

"One day when I was in 5th grade a female collie followed me home from school."

"I walked around the neighborhood trying to find the owner, but nobody knew whose dog she was."

"I left my neighborhood and crossed a four lane."

"I carried her so she wouldn't get hit by a car (I didn't own a dog leash)."

"After knocking doors and asking around, I had to go home but she just kept following me."

"I picked her back up and carried her back across the four lane, put her down and we walked another block."

"Then the owner pulled up, stopped in the middle of the intersection, got out of his car, and called her."

"She ran to him, and hopped up in the car."

"I told him I'd been trying to find her owners for hours."

"The old bastard said, 'Yeah, someone saw you carrying her'," implying that I stole her."

"Then he plopped his fat a** back in his Cadillac and sped away."

"No good deed..."- TheC0zmo

Punished For Being Poor

"Being a thief because I was a student."

"Money was going missing from the tills in the bar I worked at on some evening and weekends."

"Walked into work and got called out back with the manager."

"Was told money was missing and was suspended there and then."

"I asked when this money went missing and it wasn’t even when I was working!"

"I asked why I was the prime suspect and the managers wife pointed the finger at me because I was a student and therefore must have needed the money."

"About a week later the actual thief was caught red handed putting money from the till into his pocket by the manager."

"This was back the mid 90s so no cameras to view, which would have cleared it up straight away."

"Instead, they cast blame with evidence that actually proved it couldn’t have been me because the times the money went missing, I wasn’t even there, but hey ho."- idiBanashapan

Clearly, these hasty accusers must never have heard the saying "let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

Sadly, it's sometimes easier for people to just place blame as fast as they can.

Even if evidence and logic are not on their side.

Trump Just Shared A Truly Unhinged Tribute To Tim Cook After He Announced He's Stepping Down As Apple CEO—And, Hoo Boy

President Donald Trump shared an unhinged tribute to Apple CEO Tim Cook—whom he again referred to as "Tim Apple"—following Cook's announcement that Apple will have a new leader starting in September, openly reminiscing about all the times Cook would call him to "kiss my ass."

Cook took over from Steve Jobs and reshaped Apple by leaning on his operations expertise. He streamlined and expanded global supply chains, introduced Apple-designed chips, and pushed the company beyond hardware into services, launching subscription offerings like Apple News, Apple TV+, and Apple Pay, which have since become major revenue drivers.
