    That part of that song bothers me. If someone is just complaining they aren’t going to be a good guest at a party.

      A good story about a bad day doesn’t have to be about complaining. It can be about learning from mistakes, a strange irony, the absurdity of coinciding factors, etc.

      According to the lyrics, they aren’t exclusively complaining, they’re telling “good stories” about their not-so-great experience which is a different thing. Also, they never tried to be a ‘good guest’ at parties, merely that they were found to be ‘interesting at parties’ because of their ‘good stories’.

      That said, I really wish they didn’t repeat lyrics so much and instead told more of those “good stories” they keep boasting about.
