Have you tried saying "So what I hear is... "instead of "So what you really meant to say is..."? =) Tada! Less annoying. Also, that's a textbook comparison of deductive vs. inductive communication styles. Fun! Good to know which style you are, and how to deal with people with the opposing style. Oh!

Gotta love people like that. Who gives a damn if I've heard it 150 times? It's just great to watch. Excellent! Gotta love people like that. Who gives a damn if I’ve heard it 150 times?

My uncle is a fantastic storyteller, and 100% of his stories are full on belly laugh funny!!

My best friend has dozens upon dozens of stories from before we met and he always asks "Did I ever tell you about..." and unless I just can't possibly keep a straight face the answer is always "no, I don't think so." It's just too much fun to hear/watch someone getting in to their own storytelling. Now, if someone's trying to actually explain something or impart information? I'm ready to beat them with a stick.

Here's a sample: "I was on my way to work on tuesday and as I was driving in my car is was listening to that Counting Crows CD you gave me for x-mas 2 years ago, and do you remember that sweater you borrowed me, but I kept it, that pink one? Yeah, I was wearing that. Anyway, Driving down the freeway right past the forest lake exit and I see this guy in a red dodge pickup truck, I think it was a ram of some sort, and I'm pretty sure he was picking his nose? Then!! I had to slam on my breaks because traffic was slowing down, and I almost hit the green honda civic in front of me, license plate was "Isuk09" How funny is that?!" Whewwww!! That's a true story btw, although some of the details may be slightly off. LOL And that's only part of the story... So when she gets on a roll, I say, dude, you need to speed it up, I lost interest 6 words in. But it drives me nuts! Instead of saying 3 sentences I get a full on thesis paper on her drive to work! RIDICULOUS!! So my sister does this thing when she’s telling a story of any kind and she gives the details of EVERYTHING.
