YOU EVER?

Hey, you ever find yourself at a bar and being forced to listen to some person you've never liked, although you don't really know them, tell a 1st hand account of a story that actually winds up being incredible and it even makes you completely rethink your opinion of the person, but then not long after, another night at the same bar actually, you meet another person who you really have no interest in talking to for no other reason than you don't like their hair and their glasses and the way they looked at you when you shook their limp hand but then through a few minutes of painful conversation you find out this person used to be in the same particular field as the original story teller and so now you at least have something to say and so you decide to relay the story and after you do, the person looks at you rather coldly, and says, "Yeah, that's just not possible." And you say, "Really?" And they proceed to state in undeniable detail, the many reasons why. And for some reason, YOU now feel stupid and the person simply moves right along talking to another person while you stand there, looking down at your feet, until you find a good moment to walk away. And then wouldn't you know it, right around then, the very asshole that told you the story walks right up to you with a big ass smile because now the person thinks you two are good friends and you are more repulsed by them than ever and the two of you begin talking and you bring up the story in a way that forces them to talk a little more about it without letting on that you know it is entirely bullshit but then all of a sudden you realize you had failed to listen to the beginning of the story because you were too busy being pissed off about being forced to listen to it in the first place and so you missed a very important factor that basically changes the entire equation and now you don't know what the fuck to believe anymore about anything and you wonder what else you've gotten totally wrong in your life and the person continues talking about something else while you nod and look around at all the other people drinking and talking and laughing?
