When you were THERE when it happened but they still keep telling you over and over like you have never heard the story before.

It's not like they are interesting stories either. I don't mind the first couple times, but my dad does this ALL the time. Too many times to count.

Yes. It drives me crazy. I just roll my eyes and walk away, if I can.

Yeah it kinda sucks, but it means they want to talk to you but can't think of anything interesting to say. I act interested until the 2nd or 3rd time, them I (gently) say "yes I know Grandpa/Grandma you told me that already." If they're young it makes them a little angry, but lets them know you're tiring of the same stories.

I like to make a game out of it, especially if the person is really boring.

They usually do it until I put a plastic bag over their heads!
