The usually made-up tragic story that any drug addict/thief/hooker/bad person will tell you so you feel bad for them and will make you feel like it's not their fault that they are the way they are, or made the decisions that they made.
jenny: ugh suzy, look at you! you're fucked up on coke and it's 8 in the morning, and we're in spanish class!
suzy: Jenny, you don't even know what I've been through, I told you what happened...I found my mother dead when I was 8, then I was taken into foster care and beaten and I took to the streets where I became an anonymous circus dancer. You don't know how it feels to have no sense of identity!!!
jenny: oh, suzy, what a sob story...

The kind of story you tell people so they can sympathize with you or make their hearts warm towards you, that way you can easily make them so your bidding.
Boy: I was supposed to go see the movie premiere with my girlfriend, but she broke up with me with a text last night, would you go with me?
Girl: awwn... what a sob story, but you're cute. I would!

Evil persons whom want to hear your sob stories so that you can just sound like a pathetic immigrant. And they can take your heart and eat it like a cannibal</3:/ I.E. FAT WOMEN....or perhaps a "RACIST" relative. I will probably win here.
