He called me a lush ..

[thenorthstars]

My friend and colleague called me a lush earlier as I had champagne on my first night of hols and posted a photo to the group.
We love a good old session but I'm a bit embarrassed even though we are the best of friends and there would never be any harm or insult meant .
AIBU. To feel a little embarrassed and ashamed in front of my boss especially ?

YABU sounds like a clear attempt at humour.

Overthinking and overly sensitive

Really? Think you need to grow up a bit if a joke upsets you so much you have to post it.

It’s a joke.

You're seriously overthinking this.

Is he calling you lush or the fact you’re on holiday drinking champagne is lush? “That looks lush” would be a very normal thing to say where I live in the West Country..

I think you set the tone posting a photo of you drinking on holiday in a group chat including your boss. Bit late to be embarrassed.

Sounds like they hit a nerve.

It was meant to be fun but he said you're some
Lush!

It's a joke. I can only imagine being upset by this if I actually had a drinking problem.

And in my part of Wales. Also you said in your post ‘there would never be any harm or insult meant ‘ - so you’ve answered your own question haven’t you?

Yabu

Are you sure he wasn’t calling you lush? Rather than a lush??

Positive !!! He just said ... you're some
Lush!!! In a staff of non drinkers 🙀

I would have replied you should have seen us on the slammers!
