What crazy accusation did someone make up about you at work?

0:04.0

I'm on the keto diet. That requires me to drink a metric crap ton of water, so I carry around a 1-litre nalgene bottle at all times.

0:13.0

I'm a mid-level manager at a 60-person company. At the end of the workday, on the way out, I passed the water cooler and I fill my bottle up for the commute home.
