How do you feel when you hear a friend completely butchering a story?
You and a friend or acquaintence (hypothetical, please) share an event that turned out to be quite a story. You hear the other person tell the story, leave out the funniest important details, and get the time line events all wrong. The story ends up being boring and tedious, and you are standing right there.
