You are enjoying one of your rare visits to San Francisco, and you are staying with your brother and sister-in-law. One of your favorite things to do in San Francisco is to sample the fine restaurants. Your brother and sister-in-law are terrible cooks, but they insist on “treating” you by cooking for you themselves. You would much prefer going out to eat.

Do you:

A. Decide to have dinner at your brother and sister-in-law’s home because you don’t want to disappoint them by refusing their offer?

B. Tell them that you appreciate their thoughtfulness, and explain that one of the reasons you come to San Francisco is to enjoy the restaurants and suggest that all of you go out to eat instead?

C. Loudly tell them that you’re not there for their food?

D. Call and claim that you are unavoidably detained, tell them not to wait dinner for you, and then sneak out and eat by yourself?
