In-the-office affairs, extramarital or not
You know, you can't seriously expect to have an affair/ relationship in your office without anyone knowing about it. It just is not possible. It's probably the fastest-moving news that ever goes down those unofficial channels that real information would go to and fro. (Aside from lay-off rumors, that is.)

Your reasoning's very true I think. Things like this travels faster than almost any other news. But I guess that if you're the subject of the rumor, you hold on to hope that it'll not come out to the very last second. People aren't always smart.
