The dinner trap where every answer is wrong
They do not care what you eat. Pizza? No. Curry? No. Pasta? Not feeling it. Apparently “anything” is a highly exclusive restaurant.
Why this tiny offence gets expensive
The trap outsources all decision-making while preserving unlimited veto power. It is less dinner planning and more hostile procurement.
Domestic life is built from tiny rituals. Because they are tiny, breaking them can look ridiculous from the outside while still being spectacularly annoying from the inside.
The completely unofficial accounting view
Petty Invoice values the offence at €25.00. The calculation is not economics, law or accounting; it is the ancient discipline of turning irritation into a number with two decimal places.
The charge description reads: Consultancy fee for rejecting every dinner proposal after outsourcing the decision with “I don’t care”.
Recommended administrative response
Charge a consultancy fee for every rejected proposal and enjoy the rare satisfaction of documented bureaucracy.
The point is the contrast: a familiar little annoyance gets treated with the solemn paperwork of a finance department. The more disproportionate the bureaucracy, the better the joke.
Enough analysis. Send the paperwork.
Turn this specific offence into a beautifully unnecessary invoice.
