to think that this might be the most middle class response ever?!

Just had a friend call in tears, thought something awful had happened, but no.....

Her sister messaged from a weekend away, she had chipped veneer on a glass of wine. Friend said "Oh those cheap glasses arent good are they" and her sister said "But it wasnt a cheap glass, it was Chablis!"

So then I was in tears too!

ETA before anyone asks, yes I did say that I may have to MN this one and she is fine with that!

You are known for posting weird stuff. So yeah.

So your friend's sister called her about a broken glass on a weekend away, your friend cried about it, then you also cried?

It made us both get the giggles. thats it.

What?? Chablis is a wine, not a make of expensive glass

I suppose you had to be there.

Beyond me.
I thought veneer was for furniture or teeth, and I thought challis was a drink not a glassmaker.

I think that's why it was funny.

Ah, well, that 'humorous exchange' escaped me!

What's a Chablis glass?

@PleaseAskSomeoneWhoGivesAFuck Yes, agreed. I have spent far too long thinking about what the joke could have been and eventually deciding it must be this. But I could be wrong.

I understood the joke. 🍷🍷🍷

Not sure 'funny' is quite the word.

She chipped a tooth?

@TeabySea I should have written "funny" with quotation marks for sure.

God, this is going to be a painful thread. Run while you can, OP.

Sounds chavvy to me 🤪

Don't quote me on this but I think it could be a long stemmed vessel made from an amorphous solid used for the purpose of drinking French wine. I could be completely off the mark though.

Challis is a kind of fabric. These days it’s mostly viscose.

Not that it matters much, but…

She had veneers? That is common.

Lol , too funnie.... mon dieu/pot pouri.

I’m lost on so many levels 😁

I’m mainly surprised that a glass would chip a tooth. Surely glass is weaker than tooth! Tooth should chip glass surely, not the other way around. You’d hope a veneer could withstand a lot!

I totally agree @PyongyangKipperbang totes bourgeois.

Also unwound absolutely howl and weep and pull my hair out if I chipped one of my ceramic veneers. Especially on a glass of Chablis!

I think you might have had a bit too much of what was in the glass OP.

That’s a mild amusement/bemusement response, not a ‘causing someone to cry with laughter and phone a friend who then also cries with laughter and posts on the internet’ anecdote. I would have said.

I think the joke is A "cheap glasses aren't great"
B "But it wasn't a cheap glass (of wine) it was Chablis"

Surely it's not that hard
