Petty grievances worthy of an official record.

The best filing begins with a specific, harmless annoyance and a recipient who will recognize the joke. Here are useful starting points for the Royal Court and the HR Department.

Royal Court grievance ideas

Bring charges for leaving one spoonful in the container, moving the thermostat without council approval, using the good towel for cleaning, claiming the television remote by conquest, or borrowing a charger and returning only its memory.

HR incident-report ideas

Document the colleague who schedules a meeting without an agenda, reheats a lunch with diplomatic consequences, says “quick question” before a twenty-minute monologue, leaves the copier empty, or introduces a new spreadsheet when peace was within reach.

Keep the joke kind

Use an incident the recipient already treats lightly. Focus on the behavior, not identity or vulnerability. Skip genuine harassment, discrimination, health issues, employment disputes, private facts, or anything that could put someone at risk.

Example language from the record
Charge: The accused watched the next episode without the claimant, despite a clearly established joint-viewing compact and repeated assurances before the realm.
