Would you approve?


Your daughter tells you that she has gotten engaged and her fiancee is Ms Pierre-Brissot, the CEO of Terragrigia Corp. You've never met her but you know of her, she's worth over 864 million dollars. With businsess interests all over the globe. You also know she's 15 years older than your daughter.

You finally get to meet her after you're invited to a dinner full of various rich, influentional and respected businsessmen. You look around and the clothes alone that the influentional men and women are wearing are worth more than your home. They all loudly boast about their exploits and bemoan the minor inconviences in life that they hate as food is brought to the table.

You grab a fork and tuck in. The food is delicious but suddenly everyone turns and looks at you like you have slugs crawling out of your nose.

Ms Pierre-Brissot says a curt "Excuse me." and leaves the room. That's the first and so far only thing she's ever said to you.

"Dad... You just started eating with a dessert fork, not a lunch fork. Come on, everything you do here reflects on me." Your daughter says under her breath, looking downcast.

You find it hard to believe she's in this relationship for any reason other than that juicy succulent bank account that's only a few months away from becoming a joint one.



How do you react?
What do you do?

I know about having to eat with certain silverware in the correct order. I would look it up before going to such a high-end dinner, so that wouldn't happen. Other than that, I have no problem here.

That just makes you using the wrong fork even worse.

I don't give a shit if a bunch of stuck up rich people with overinflated egos get their panties in a twist if I use the wrong fork.

Do you give a shit about how you're making your daughter and her fiancee look?

I tell her that it's her life and she is welcome to do what she pleases with it, but I have no desire whatsoever to consort with classist wealthy ghouls who should be parodied and get the fuck out of there.

Bold of both you and my daughter to assume I'd use a fork. Her future wife would probably say something like "Good heavens, she brought a wild animal in! Oh goodness, someone help, she's running towards me on her wild beast legs!"

She's excused of course.

I just want to restore this world back to the natural. Bring order to this broken reality. To the way it should have been, all those many years ago.

Smile and tell them that I am aware and just did it to see their reaction before putting the desert fork down and picking up the lunch fork. I enjoy trolling people to see who has a sense of humor and who is a stick in the mud.

Nah. Keep the desert fork, and just go double-forking.

Put down the fork and just face-plant, like the kid in "A Christmas Story."
