My favorite is when they’re telling you something you told them a while back, but they’ve forgotten it was you that told them.

Usually I let them run with it but sometimes I say, “yeah - you were
telling me about that…”
Oops, did I already tell you that?!

Since I do this all the time (repeat stories) and know how DUMB I feel when someone interrupts to tell me so, I ALWAYS listen to stories again and again when they are told to me.
