This happened to me in 7th grade.
Were I not disgusted by the girls hitting on me after punching a bully out unceremoniously, I would have not been a virgin much much earlier.

ALL CREATURE WILL DIE AND ALL THE THINGS WILL BE BROKEN. THAT'S THE LAW OF SAMURAI.I only gained infamy. And that was because the lousy fucker wouldn't shut up about it.
I did derive satisfaction from the fact that my shoe-imprint stayed on his face for like a month afterward, though.
A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!I gained infamy from...walking backwards for one entire day.
But even doing that hasn't made me very noticeable. I'm invisible.
Read my stories!I gained fame for being 6'10''. Hell yeah, I fucking earned it. Eighteen years of hard work to get that tall.
It Just Bugs MeI gained a sort of minor Memetic Badass status during my senior year. After writing the shit out of everyone in my Advanced Composition class, by the virtue of acting Crazy Awesome.
Sorry, I can't hear you from my FLYING METAL BOX!

I just love the fact that a bully can get me to breaking point, I lash out and floor him in a single punch (and he reportedly cried), and somehow within a couple hours everyone knows my name despite previously being a random nerd for years. All because he happened to be someone who bullied everyone without my knowledge of anything but his isolated bullying of myself.
And two terms later, after I've nearly forgotten, I get reminded again because people STILL haven't shut up about it.
Accidental fame?
