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.

I want to interrupt, and personally tell the story the way it really happened. It's the facts that make the story!

I let the friend finish telling the story, than later, I seek out the person who heard the butchered story and tell them how it really happened.

I walk away, or busy myself with some other task so I cannot (be tortured) hear.

I don't care how the story comes out as long as the friend telling it is having a good time.

I listen intently to the story (even for the umpteenth time) being told and it does not bother me a bit.
