To which

'...to which...' is creeping in all over the place, particularly where there is no grammatical need.

E.g. from an active thread: I told my husband I’m not making my usual elaborate Sunday dinner today and I’ll be ordering a takeaway, to which he seemed a bit annoyed.

Obviously, there are things to which one can reply / object / agree, but so many just don't take 'to' as a preposition.

At which

I would have said 'at which' in this example.

Exactly!
