Then that old woman was 100% in the wrong. There is a sacred, unwritten social contract that says you don't ruin a good story just to be a fact-checking hall monitor—especially when you were literally eavesdropping from another room.
Adding a little flavor, suspense, or comedic timing to a story isn't lying; it's just being a good storyteller.
Honestly, jumping out of the shadows to yell "Actually, that's not true!" over a minor detail says way more about her lack of social awareness than it does about your integrity. She wanted a "gotcha" moment, but it just made her look bitter and strange.
Did your oneitis see through it and realize the lady was just being a busybody, or did it completely kill the vibe you had going?
