I had to chat with my brother-in-law's loud cousin for an hour. It was like being tortured by a loudmouth clown.
At the office party, I had to make small talk with my boss's ex. She kept asking about my dating life like it was a crime.
My girlfriend had to talk to my mom's best friend. She said it felt like being interrogated by a grandma who thinks she's a detective.
