Eccentricity fail
When I was 9, and therefore at the age where boys would exaggerate or invent things about themselves (mad illnesses, gory operations etc.), for some reason I decided to tell people at my new school that I was allergic to sweets, and could only eat milk chocolate. Of course, that just meant I had to stay "in character" for the next few years until everybody had forgotten, to save being uncovered as a fraud.
