One year during college a couple of us were over at a friends house drinking before going to the bar. I went to a small town high school with said friend and his roommate. The roommate is excessively OCD and I make some kind of unfunny off-handed "he's probably gay" joke after my friend tells us some OCD stories. Somehow my joke turned into legitimate gossip and another high school friend at a different college >300 miles away asks me if I said roommate is gay. At the moment, I didn't even remember saying that, but later did remember to myself that I had made that joke. I feel pretty [censored] that a stupid joke I made snowballed into some kind of rumor and I'm sure has put a dent in my reputation with some of my friends. When I run into mutual friends of roommate and me I get a weird vibe. Not that it matters but I still feel bad about it because I'm normally a nice guy.
