The Same Question, Again and Again...

While doing some downloadings, I decided to chat to the same schoolmate who approached me on the New Year Day several days ago, about our coming group meeting. (Can't say that it is a reunion, since I am very sure I never really noticed her before because we were in different classes.)
I have noticed this lady's tendency in asking the same question over and over again, like she was trying to get me in case I had lied.
I could only guess that she was not too bright in general, or can't focus, or have dementia at an early age. (She could read my answer on the Facebook messenger again, couldn't she?)
Today, when she asked me the same question (must be the 20th time or was it the 110th time?) of why and how I found the other classmates two decades ago, I explained to her about Facebook and internet, and how some classmates who were my fans came knocking on my door first.
We are in the same country, using the same English language, the amazing thing is, this lady only found out this network of old classmates two weeks ago. Yet she told me she visited other classmates often.
Something is not right here, am I right?
Some hours ago, she pointed out to me that classmates might remember me due to how active I was during our high school time, but at the same time, no one really mentioned me to her when they came to our city to visit relatvies. She asked me what could be the reason for that?
I laughed, pointed out to her that I knew my classmates' backgrounds very well, and if some has been told her differently, then they surely wouldn't want to meet me again while she was around.
NB. Some classmate with a painful past, has been giving her a beautiful family background. We happened to compare notes when I realized the whole things were not true, unless we were talking about a different person with the same Facebook account.
Can you guess what is going on with this person? She approached me, not the other way around, but now these odd questions! Has anyone ever done this to you?

The second time she asked me the same question, I would have told her I'd already answered that and to look back through our conversation if she had a poor memory. I don't have much patience for that kind of thing. If she asked again, I'd suggest she talk to her doctor because her meds were obviously not working correctly.
Nope... nobody asks me questions about classmates from the past. I had a very small circle of friends when we were in school and see little reason to talk to anyone I didn't talk to back then. .

@YrNemo 
Then she's definitely hoping you'll give a different answer, maybe in a pique over her asking again and again. I'd simply ignore the question after I gave the answer to go back and read the answer I'd already given.
But, I probably wouldn't have talked with her in the first place, if I didn't remember her. Several of my classmates tried to contact me through Fb and I ignored them. They weren't my friends when we were in school.

@DaddyEvil I did point out to her that I was only well known among my classmates (I was their captain/vice captain for years), and among the group of captains/vice captains in our school. She ridiculed me every now and then in our chat to my surprise. Strange, because I don't know her, and she was too insignificant at our time - a no name person in some next door class.

I was thinking of giving her some insulting answer to stop her, but thank God, I haven't done that yet.

She sounds like a scammer working her way in. No old classmate. She is finding out information to use as a personal "old friend." She is looking for your other classmates to scam as well. They can groom for months. I'd delete and block. Maybe report her.

I had a 70-year-old friend, whom I had known since he was 38. My followers know him as Whozeewhatzit.
Back in 2011, Whozeewhatzit and I lived in different states. He came up to visit for a time, and when it came time to prepare to leave, he checked for the best route on MapQuest, then asked me, 16,897 times to Sunday, to verify those directions for me. After about fifteen minutes of giving the exact answer to his question (addressed in those 16,897 ways), I exploded.
"I have given you the answer in the exact way all 16,897 ways you asked, and you know if you ask me something once, I will answer, If you ask me something twice, I will remind you I have already answered, and if you ask me a third time, I am going to explode? Why do you continue when you knew I'd be ticked off after the third time you asked?"
He said he was making sure I didn't leave out anything. I wanted to (figuratively) wring his neck.
Whozeewhatzit and I are great at being friends, but he can be very narcissistic, and at 70, he also has dementia. That is why I let that friendship go.

@YrNemo Whozeewhatzit is not a member here. That was what I called him when I posted about him on here.
It's hard to tell with people. I was not a dreg, and I was not a member of the popular crowd either, but back then, and now, I am friends with people who were and were not popular.

That username sounds familiar.
I wonder if this lady is having a similar health problem. At times, I am very sure she was playing games with me, but for what purpose, I have no clue. (I used to be one among best students at that school, and top students make friends with each other automatically - we treated others like our little siblings, no more no less! This lady would be in that lower level for sure, due to her younger age group and grades. Why she is now taking pot shots at me, is something that puzzles me greatly. (how dare she! )
