The worst story that I've ever heard (three times)

One of my roommates from college is getting married on Saturday, and I (unfortunately) remembered a story he once told me. Apparently, when he was really little his dad used to call him "Tiger." So they're in a store in India, and he got separated from his dad. He was looking at something, so he didn't hear his dad calling him. The guy running the store did though and said "Hey tiger, your dad is looking for you."
That's it, that's the entire fricking story. You can only imagine how mortified I was when I actually heard one of my friends say, "Hey, tell us the 'Tiger' story again." What? You asshole.
