We make stories as an important way of making sense of the world and take them seriously even though they are never perfect reflections of reality. Like when someone tailgates me, I think “they are doing this on purpose to bother me” when most likely the tailgater either has a bad habit or is just absorbed with getting somewhere. It probably has nothing to do with intentionally trying to bother me.

This seriousness about our stories partly why I like to make up stories that are not so serious. Like this title which could be part of a larger story.
