Staring at the fridge again

You know that feeling. The group chat is buzzing. Everyone’s got an opinion, or worse, no opinion at all. You’re just standing there, opening the fridge for the third time, hoping for clarity that isn’t in the crisper drawer.

The noise before the quiet

It’s the same loop every time. Someone suggests an idea. Someone else counters. Then there’s the long pause, filled with typing dots that appear and vanish. The energy just drains out, siphoned by all that silent, collective thinking.You’re not looking for the perfect plan. You’re just looking for a plan. Any plan. Something to break the stalemate so you can all just move forward, together.

Letting the wheel decide

That’s when I pull this thing up. It’s not about being lazy. It’s about being fair. It takes the weight off everyone’s shoulders, mine included. The responsibility shifts from a person to a process.There’s a weird relief in the click. The spin. The final stop. The debate is over. The path is chosen. And just like that, the group exhales.

What happens next

You get to be a participant again, not a referee. The mental space that was clogged with ‘what ifs’ suddenly clears.

A different kind of together

It feels less like a compromise and more like a shared adventure. You’re all in it now, for whatever the wheel picked.
