Oh no, it's not another social event! The Jones will be there bragging about their latest vacation; the Smiths will be droning on endlessly about their son being accepted into a prestigious university, and the Crooks will be red in the face as they blurt out how much money they have. And then there will be others, all trying to outdo each other, and you are expected to go and smile politely while these animals spew out their claims to fame.
