My own private Emocide

continued from Why High School Reunions are not something for everyone:

The response:

Hello Sid!

We will go buy groceries Saturday morning and will drive to [the guy where the reunion is at] afterwards.
It would be best if you buy your own things and I’ll repay you. Then I can divide the lump sum amongst all the involved people. Non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, bakery goods, etc. you don’t have to buy yourself.

Is that ok for you?

I don’t think I’ll even dignify this with an answer. Bear in mind, these people have University degrees. I am just sitting here in awe.
