    It depends who they are and how they start off. If they say I don't know if I've told you this and then I recognize the story I say yes, but if they just tell me a story I let them finish, then I mention yes I remember you told me that before.

    Interrupt them. I get irritated very easily and I hate it when people keep telling me to do something every five minutes.

    It depends if it was an interesting story to begin with...

    I usually let them finish and then say, "Oh yea, you told me that before...."

    I let them finish then say "You told me that the other day. It's great!" or "You told me that before... I'm so sorry that happened"... Something like that. =]
