As a brotherless human, I've been kind of slow in figuring out which character traits of the male variety are universal and which just attached to those few men in my immediate family.
I think I figured one out.
It's really annoying too.
It goes like this:
me: {telling very interesting, if embellished, TRUE story that may slightly -- just slightly -- contain a small bit of hyperbole but really the message is the same, just the story is more interesting [I do this without noticing. Really.]} --
some guy [any guy]: Hang on {asks strictly factual question that totally detracts from the nature of the story and shows he really wasn't enjoying it aesthetically at all, but thinking about technical things like how to solve the problems explicated in said story, which were most likely included in the embellished part, horrible problems being essential to good drama}
me: Ergh!
some guy [any guy]: ?
