Sitting behind me on the LIRR, a clearly appalled girl in her 20s exclaims to her friend:
“She advertised it as a dining room set, but it’s a dinette set at best!”
Now, I get as infuriated by classified-ad exaggerations as the next guy, but judging by this girl’s obnoxiouly loud voice and completely-void-of-irony indignation, I’m guessing she doesn’t have enough friends to require the extra leaf and two chairs she’d been expecting.
