Why do people make up rumours?

[Monsell1976]

Attention seekers

Why they make up rumours?

 

They have a crap life, a mid-life crisis or both, they can't live without being in the centre of attention or they're douchebags with a really poor sense of humour.

 

Whatever the case, I wouldn't want to live anywhere near them, they'd kill me instantly with their daily dose of negativity.

Yipee that's me then
