I know we all have that one thing that irritates us. For me, it’s hearing the same story from the same person over and over.
I guess I should look at it as entertainment too but they just don’t tell the story once, but rather tell it in a different way as if to disguise the fact they told you already.
I know I’m being picky here but it seems as though they just can’t help but tell you the left tire on their car had a nail in it. Only the second time they tend to change a couple things like they ran over glass or someone stuck a knife in their tire.
In an effort not to be rude you just say “wow, that’s crazy” and you are really thinking “wow, I’ve heard this before but either you have the worst luck or this same thing happened to someone else I know just the other day”.
I know, I know, I know I should lighten up and just be glad to have conversation with someone I know but sometimes I think I could go without conversation forever!
