A story you have to hear from your best friend or lover because if you don't, they'll throw a tantrum or yell at you until you're deaf.
My buddy told me the same story about his dog 12 times in one day. I had to listen or he'd cry.
My girlfriend told me about her ex's cat again. I had to nod and smile or she'd scream.
My mom told me the same tale about her childhood 10 times. I had to pretend I liked it or she'd kill me.
