overanswer 

The slightly narcissistic tendency of someone to provide a long winded answer when asked an information enquiry. The question only requires a simple answer but the overanswerer will tell a personal story or anecdote they believe provides context for they're opinion.

I wanted to know the time but his overanswer included all the steps needed to build a watch.
