2 AIBU in one, table etiquette and in-laws..

[PardontheFrench]

This is a light humoured one (kind off)

In-laws down on holiday, it’s chaos round here as we are also moving this week, trying to pack and aware DH’s parents are also here to spend time with us and have a nice time, we are doing all the cooking entertaining etc.

Cooked a lovely meal around carnage last night, made sure everyone was sorted, DC, in-laws, dog was out of the way, drinks topped up sat down at the table to notice that in-laws had moved their cutlery round to their preferred position of knifes sitting with blades out, definitely not how I set the table!!

Firstly AIBU to think that everyone over the age of 12 knows the correct table setting etiquette is knifes with blades turned inwards

2nd AIBU that it’s fucking cheeky to be so self righteous that you make a show of your preferred way especially when you are bastarding wrong! in someone else house!

There have been many larger things over the years that have pissed me off but this tiny moment of exercising control has given me the rage like no other!

Don’t sweat the small stuff. You have enough going on. Just laugh it off.

Your butler? My butler passes such duties to a footman.

Lol get a grip

Unfortunately the estate finances no longer stretch to a footman.

As with many other roles across multiple sectors, responsibilities once held by many different employees are being rolled up into just a few - we're all having to cut our cloth accordingly

I understand. We've had to open the gardens to The Public. Such a strain.

The horror!

I hope you have managed to keep the off the croquet lawn at least.

Well actually I'm not too worried now, as Charles just had a bung of £35m per annum from the Duchy. So we may forget about sharing with the public. He's also getting a new helicopter and various other toys so bugger it, I'm definitely getting a new hat. 🍷 👑 🙂

Oh ffs, you r looking for a fight
