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!

Is it middle class to confuse your glass with your wine?

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

😂😂😂

I've seen quite a few threads this week where posters went for a pile on in the first few comments, that ended quite differently, so who knows?

Not everyone is breaking an ankle in the rush to 'not get it.'

Absolutely riotous. I bet the long winter evenings just fly by.

Delphiniumandlupins · 13/10/2024 00:21

I thought that was quite a good response. Though not all Chablis is good.

Coruscations · 13/10/2024 00:24

Gawd, typical late night bitchy MN responses. Do people really have to be so predictable?

CurlewKate · 13/10/2024 00:30

There's no such thing as a Chablis glass.

OhMaria2 · 13/10/2024 00:32

Oh jesus christ, the responses. I'm dead. Is everyone an AI bot now or something?

Longdarkcloud · 13/10/2024 00:44

OP your humour is too sophisticated for MN ! Talk about lowest common denominator. I have despaired at the comprehension level of many for some time but now … Oh well, some of us enjoyed your post, so thank you.

Leatherdoughnut · 13/10/2024 00:58

Yawn

DramaAlpaca · 13/10/2024 02:20

Dear God, there are some humourless creatures on MN these days.

OP, I got it and thought it was funny.

You are known for posting weird stuff. So yeah.

This is such a rude reply. Wow.

I got it OP. Light hearted thread everyone, chill out

RickiRaccoon · 13/10/2024 02:54

I got it.

Sounds chavvy to me 🤪

Absolutely 💯

Ponderingwindow · 13/10/2024 03:13

That is a good laugh

the original speaker will probably even find it funny once she gets past the trauma of the broken veneer.

Mountainpika · 13/10/2024 03:52

Well it made me laugh. Keep them coming, OP. I appreciate your sense of humour.

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!

Cheap veneers from an Eastern Bloc country, so popular with the insta 'influencer'!!!
I think they are made of white sticky-backed plastic with added tippex

Same here.

TeabySea · 13/10/2024 10:59

I see I misread the original. Someone chipped their tooth veneer on a glass.
I misread it as the glass had veneer.
I'm sure the tears will come in due course when the profundity of it all sinks in.

Eh? She's been around for donkeys' years and is a sensible and intelligent poster Confused are you sure you aren't thinking of someone else?

Ooh, a Blackadder reference. You must be the soul of every highbrow literary gathering.

I am drinking Pinot Gris so all good here😁

AskZoltar · 13/10/2024 11:11

I got the joke: the OP has form for pouring scorn on the "lower" classes, however, so I'll refrain from finding humour in it.

Autumnalfun · 13/10/2024 11:11

Ok to summarise.

she chipped her tooth on a glass of wine.
friend said those cheap glasses are no good.
friend responds it wasn’t cheap it was Chablis?

were you yourself on the Chablis when you posted?

Cattery · 13/10/2024 11:17

I don't get it. She chipped her veneer whilst drinking a glass of Chablis and that’s funny how? Crying? About what?
