Pet peeves: As You Know, Bob

This trope drives me nuts, there are better ways of imparting information to readers than a conversation between two people who already know said information. I.e. Margaret of Anjou stating to her court that her uncle is the King of France. Well duh, everyone at court would know that.

Name them here, and may the ~~worst~~ best book win.
