To think I may have just hoisted my sister by her own petard?

My sister just messaged me to ask about feeding people for a buffet next week. I do not live in the UK.
Slightly as a joke I said I would be more than happy to come and help and was told I was welcome :-)
I responded that I would be happy to come over (it will cost around €1k) if her VERY comfy guest bed was available. No response so far.
Did I overstep the mark?

Especially after you presumed your jobs bear any relevance to you misquoting Hamlet.

(It's still a terrible sentence but I didn't write it. Just thought if you were going to snottily reprimand the OP you might want to do it more accurately.)

🙄Seeing that this post has turned into an English Language and Literature lesson, it's 'YOUR misquoting Hamlet" because "misquoting" is a gerund. This correction is not being done snottily, I just love gerunds, participles and all things grammar!😁

Sadly we belong to the still lightly better-off middle class

I have no idea what any of this is about!?

Is the OP doing that thing where you just keep tapping on the next word that predictive text suggests?
