Facts Can Turn To Rumors

Yesterday at 3am, a friend of ours who was drunk called for our companionship not knowing that his actual plan was for us to tank for him by any chance if there is a fight in a pub belonged to his friend.

Here's the story - Version One , this dude walked into a pub with his date and he laid eyes on another guy's girlfriend whom he had made love to previously and now all hell was going to break loose for he wanted to fight for that girl. Abba story!

Version Two - Dude walked into the pub with his date and laid eyes on another friend's girlfriend but decided to stick to his own date and gave a toast that friendship is above all. Yet, there were other interpretations by my other friends according to their own understanding of the scenario pictured by this friend of ours.

We have actually experimented on this subject matter before in college. We have tried spreading a rumor and we watched as the rumor turned hotter and hotter as the story changes hands. We watched the flame of rumors spread and how twisted the stories turned out to be from a simple plot to a blockbuster!

Once we have tried informing our busybody cashier staff that i have fought with one of our lecturers over a girl and i gave a blow to his eyes , so strong that he had bandages around his eyes and the story went on from one person to another from Nick fought with his lecturer over a girl to Nick stole lecturer's girlfriend and then proceed to Nick cheated lecturer's girlfriend and the epic continues to get more horrifying...It is funny the way one simple story can turn into such a mess upon being spread.

I guess sometimes it is best to keep some stuff to myself in avoiding a disaster.I guess it is human nature to crave for gossips and exciting news so interpreting stories for it to be more spicy and exciting is common among individuals.I , myself may have heard of something and interpreted it as something else so might as well just avoid sticking in my nose and stay low to stay happy. At times people do not intent to gossip or create rumors but having interpreted a story wrongly it becomes a deadly rumor. It is best to clarify with the person involve before coming up with a story which is untrue and unfair for that person.
