It has happened to me often. Now I don't allow anyone to tell these stories in my presence.
I had an uncle who dealed with cattle. He was a brute and I remember that one day when I was already older then 20 he told this horror story about a dog. It was my fathers birthday and this guy had drunk and was loud and liked that story. And I really got upset and loud and said nobody wanted to hear these stories and they were nothing you could laugh about and that he should keep his mouth shut.
My father later attacked me saying that of course nobody wanted to hear it but why had it to be me to tell him.
But I still am proud that I did.
