When I invite someone in for a cup of tea, I usually put a cake in the middle of the table, if I have any, but never offer the guest any. I think I get satisfaction from knowing they are pining for some cake and knowing I have the power to deny it to them.
@fesshole Badly written ragebait. Anyone who is serious about petty power plays like that doesn't set out a real cake but a prop one made out of plaster of Paris.
