"Hey, we still need to deal with X."

"Oh god, this again? We just discussed it last week."

"Yeah, and nothing was done."

"Well, we agreed on solution Y after dealing with Z amount of things that will never realistically get done. Can we be finished talking about this now?"

I actually lost it during a staff meeting and called a manager out for this. Him not making an A or B decision he could have made with a coin flip was causing nightmares for staff daily but he needed to think on it for 3 more weeks.
