Let’s pretend you are invited over to someone’s house to watch a football game. Dinner will also be served. You don’t particularly care to watch football. Do you
a.) Say, “Sounds fun, but I don’t really like football. Thanks for the invite, though.”
b.) Come, watch the game and hang out with your friends.
c.) Bring your laptop so that you and your girlfriend can take turns surfing the web. When she is not surfing the web, she will sleep on the couch.
If you pick c, please tell me how this is not rude.
