People who reuse your stories...

I was telling a friend a few months ago about how the other day at school I asked to borrow this dudes lighter, light my cigg, and handed it back to him. When I handed it back I noticed black burn marks on the bottom of it. So I looked at him and asked if he smoked and we got into a cool random conversation about weed.

I see that same friend I told about that a couple days ago and he repeats the story back to me as if it were one of his own. He repeated it nearly verbatim. I decided not to call him out on it as he is an old friend and we rarely see each other. Why do people steal stories as if it happened to you.

Best part is it isn't that great of a story to steal.

All I ask is I don't have to hear my own stories. LOL.

I just found it funny because he forgot who it was that told it to him he just accepts it as his own now.

I didn't point it out to my girlfriend because I would felt bad having her laugh at him.

Repeat it to others as your own, I really don't care, but please, I beg you, don't repeat a story that isn't that good back to me.

I FUCKING HATE IT when people lie about shit that has happened to them to get attention or someting. Almost nothing pisses me off more than that. Some girl I knew said one day that last night het boyfriend od'd on like heroin or something and we all didn't even know what to say to her. We all felt really bad and shit and tried to make her feel better and all that. A few weeks later we found out from her brother that the whole thing was complete bullshit. I was so fukcing pissed off.

i'll reuse a good story, but only if im in it. ill be like "yo, you 'member that time when we got up on that school and tagged the shit out of it? that was awesome, the whole school saw that shit" and they be like "yeah, that was some bomb shit we was smokin up there" "yeah, and that old lady saw us" "yeah, we were so lucky" "and that faggot perry was with us" what a fruit, he didnt do anything" "probably cause he didnt know how"
btw, me and some friends actually did that

I don't mind if it's "Hey man my friend told me this one time..."

Can't stand when it suddenly happened to them though.

i dont really like telling stories outside of the "inner circle" ya know? inner circle business is inner circle business and people wouldnt really understand and ithink im making up half the shit

Well, imitation is a form of flattery, after all. What I hate more is the One-Ups. If you tell a story, they chime in with a bit better story.

Example. You find a couple grams of weed you didn't know you had. They find a couple quarters. You win $100 playin poker. They just won $300 the other night. etc etc.

Man I hate that.
