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.
That part of that song bothers me. If someone is just complaining they aren’t going to be a good guest at a party.
Yeah I interpreted it as making funny stories out of unfortunate events, not just complaining.
