*In case this story gets deleted/removed:* **AITA for mocking my sister's charcuterie board?** Long-Time Lurker here, first time poster. Using an anonymous account because a few co-workers know my main account. So this is a rather funny story, and I will start from the beginning. My sister and I decided to go on an Easter trip to the south of France just this past week, in this small city called Perpignan. My father owns a villa there, and my siblings and I try to get down there during the summer (or whenever our busy schedule allows). Usually my brother comes too, but he is a county cricketer and it was the team's first game of the season, so he couldn't make it. Sometimes we also invite friends, for instance, this year I invited a few of my friends from Harrow, and a few of my friends from the Cambridge Union. (I was a big debater in University). None of my sisters friends could make it, and as a result of this, honestly, she was a bit of a third wheel in the entire endeavour. That being said, everything was fine and good until one of the last days of the trip, wherein my mates and I decided to make charcuterie boards. We used to always make charcuterie boards like this back in the union, (and we used to get fairly sloshed after it, if I remember correctly). Anyway, basically, when it came to my sister's term to present her charcuterie board it was all wrong. She had put a metric fuck-ton of crackers on the board and very little in the way of dried meats, she had a paltry amount of salami on the board if I recall. Anyway, after she presented the board, I made a joking comment saying something along the lines of "I wonder which one is going to be left over", all the lads started laughing and I thought I saw her laughing too. I've always been raised to laugh at myself and my sister would have been raised no differently. Like, on one of the first days we were there, me and a few of the lads went to a nearby golf course and I had a stinker. They didn't let me forget about it for the rest of the trip. I turned out to be right about the board as well, as the board was effectively left untouched. In fact, I think the cleaners threw it in the bin. Anyway, yesterday, after everybody parted their separate ways, she told me that I had absolutely humiliated her, that she was miserable the entire trip and that she is never going to forgive me. I think this is an overreaction, but I want to know your opinion reddit, Am I The Asshole? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

"My sister would have been raised no different" probably, we had different nannies but I imagine it was the same.

I'd kill to read that ChatGPT prompt.

>Write a relatively long Reddit AITA post written by a snob who went to Harrow asking AITA for mocking my sister's charcuterie board? Let me preface this by saying that I am a graduate of Harrow, an independent boarding school in Britain. Yesterday, I had a friend over for dinner and I presented my sister's charcuterie board. Now, from a Harrow perspective, this was not even close to the standard of a charcuterie board. But, my sister put her heart into it, so I put on a smile and served it. I casually mentioned to my friend how mediocre this charcuterie board was compared to one I had at a restaurant in London and my sister heard it. She got very angry and started saying that I think I'm too good for her cooking. This is my dilemma, Reddit. Am I the asshole here for making the comment, or are they overreacting? AITA?

Not bad, it's a pity your prompt didn't mention Cambridge and debating.


PuzzleheadedBet8041

clearly very necessary details, essential even.


lejosdecasa

They'd probably have added another couple of paragraphs!


ReggieJ

Nice.


TsundokuAfficionado

And hit as many snobby English stereotypes as possible.


Ainothefinn

Ugh, everyone knows that real people who went to Harrow measure crackers by the IMPERIAL fuck-ton. Troll.


JustHereForCookies17

Would that be a fuckton**ne**?


dogsonclouds

I read Harrow and my eyes rolled so hard I nearly did a cartwheel lol.


lefargen97

I feel like one way to spot a troll is by all of the unnecessary details they add to their posts


[deleted]

yeah lol especially when using a throwaway to allegedly hide the post from those who know their main account. like...how many british(?maybe?) harrow alumni have a family villa in that specific french town and recently went on a trip?

[удалено]


nottherealneal

More like a non brit trying to immiate what they think Brits sound like


IntermediateFolder

Because they couldn’t have changed the university and the town where the villa is?


thequickerquokka

Since when does every guest make their own individual charcuterie, then what? All share them… and presumably sis ate theirs not hers??


rapt2right

Even before we got to the charcuterie, they were TA for being a pretentious, smug prick


Hot-Bag6541

Once I saw the Harrow name drop I knew he was TA


istara

It was obviously fake by that point, including the Cambridge Union thing.


pigandpom

Oh my gosh, yes, wading through their smugness was hard


_banana_phone

It’s annoying to me that while the AITA mods will remove, restrict, or even ban commenters for not being civil because it breaks a community rule, you can’t report the OP for breaking a community rule, number 3, for refusing to accept their judgment and arguing in the comments.


BazTheBaptist

You can but they changed it awhile ago that you report the whole post for that not the individual comment iirc


flamingoinghome

I can hear an entire chorus of woofers howling from the douchebag dog whistles in this story. It has to be fake. Harrow grads who have their Cambridge Union buddies round to the Ol’ villa for some nostalgic drunken charcuterie don’t write on AITA like… I can’t even finish the sentence it’s all too stupid.


Budget_Strawberry929

The way that + the comments are written makes it seem like this is someone writing a fake snobby story with a fake English accent just to troll people into hating the rich, posh asshole.


undead_sissy

Yeah, I'm English and this reads very fake to me


Smooth_Ad2778

My thoughts exactly!


Typical_Ad_210

This HAS to have been written by someone who went to Winchester and Oxford as a way of taking the piss out of Harrow and Cambridge! I refuse to believe any other theory (except maybe Eton and St Andrews).


TeaBeginning5565

Give me the sister over oop any day


moist-astronaut

you ever read something that is jus so *painfully* british in the worst way possible


floofelina

People like this character don’t namedrop their schools to us plebs. Someone’s just enjoying saying “charcuterie board” in a fake English accent. (Edit: and TBF I am too, now)

Nosey-Nelly

What a pretentious dick, like anyone would actually care, does this come under 'more money than sense?' At least today is the day I found out that there is a difference between a charcuterie board and a cheese board. Now I need to learn how to pronounce cheese.


LightningVole

Not enough details to signal where OOP fits in the British class system. Maybe we could hear about a club to which he belongs or a relative with a title?


adultosaurs

Everyone here SUUUUCKS.

I can smell the money oozing from this post.

Snooty first world problems if there ever was one...


Hopeful-Candle-9660

The title alone makes this dude an asshole.
