People that never get the story right

You ever know someone that never hears or tells a story the way they heard it? I've known at least two that I can think of in recent memory and one is an ex-member of my church and the other is going there. If someone tells them something they never seem to hear it right the first time or they end up some how retelling it very differently to the point that they sound like liars

They don't seem to see the problem...either that they have personally or when they retell a story to someone else that can be potentially damaging of someone elses reputation or is just plain telling a lie regardless of how it became a lie

God will give people wisdom . . . . but I've never seen nor heard of anybody being healed of stupid.

When I've known people like you've described, their issues typically went a whole lot deeper than just this one.

And lastly, I'd like to remind everybody that those of you who think you know everything are terribly annoying to those of us that do ! ! !

I had a friend like that in college. He was a great storyteller. Then I heard him relate an instance I was a witness to and there was quite a bit of embellishment. I never really trusted a word he had to say after that.

I think a lot of times people like that do it for two reasons, either to slander someone they dislike or to be the center of attention

I also think it's a matter of perspective, as well as a short-term memory loss.
