If I invited you to my house for dinner tonight, you would come over and expect me to serve you food. Right?

Well, imagine we were having drinks in my living room for two hours. You're looking at your watch. It's 8:30. You don't smell any food. You don't say anything. Another half hour passes. You're on your third drink. You're getting legitimately hungry. You still don't say anything. And then, a half hour later, I stand up as if I'm ready for you to leave. We have this exchange.

Me: "All right, it's getting late, we should probably wrap this up."
You: "I thought we were having dinner?"
Me: "Tonight? No, I never specifically said that — I invited you over for a dinner."
You: "Well, you asked me if I wanted to come over for your house for dinner. I said sure. You said, 'Come over at 6:30.'"
Me: "Exactly. But I never said we were eating dinner tonight!"
You: "You said you were making lamb chops. You e-mailed me that you couldn't wait for me to taste your lamb chops."
Me: "I know, I know … I meant down the road though!"
I don't apologize. We shake hands. You drive away. You're kind of in shock. And as you're looking for a McDonald's or a Carl's Jr., hungry, light-headed, and pissed off, part of you wants to drive back to my house and punch me in the face.
