I swear I looked like a bum when I grabbed a slice of pizza with my hands because everyone was using a knife and fork, one of my worst moments
You do not need to impress the clods who eat pizza with flatware. These people would eat a sandwich with flatware if someone “more important” did it.
Reminds me of some show or movie I watched when at a wine tasting, some guy started listening to the wine with his ear and everybody copied him
Care about their opinions of your personal habits.
What should I NOT do in front of rich people?
Diminish yourself or your self worth
What should I NOT do in front of rich people?
Care what out of touch rich fucks think.
Rich people don’t care how you eat your pizza. Stuck up people do, but you get plenty of those without money.
And I don’t care if dead rich people’s family are sad; there’s still a right way to eat a pizza and it doesn’t involve a goddamn fork.
Don’t tell me how to eat my food. Im not making demands of you.
Don’t envy them. They can’t even hold pizza
For real. Whenever I eat (Italian) pizza normally around a bunch of freaks using knife and fork I just silently rejoice about my superior cultural capital.
And if OP is American, chances are those people don’t even know how to use a knife and fork properly.
Act like they’re your superiors. They bleed and die just like poor people
Rich people don’t like it when you believe in socialism or progressive tax rates.
When you’re sufficiently rich, you don’t even have to care about what the regular rich people think.
You can probably adopt the habit even before you manage to reach that level of wealth
The trick is to not care, and to confidently do it like it was the most natural thing in the world, and it clearly was.
The world of the wealthy runs on appearances. The worst thing you can do there is to be ashamed. Arguably better is to look at them with confident disdain for using a knife and fork to eat a pizza, in much the same way that they might for someone using a soup spoon for dessert.
For the pizza, it’s arguably more regional than wealth related. In a few countries, like parts of Italy and Sweden, it’s more common to eat pizza using cutlery rather than using your hands.
Whereas for other places, like other parts of Italy, it may be more common to use your hands for it instead. It very much depends on where, and the local culture more than anything else. But using your hands is as valid as using a knife and fork.
I don’t know if all do, but the few French people I had pizza with, all of them used knife and fork.
In a nice Italian restaurant in Berlin, all the people I saw used knife and fork, I did too not to fit but those pizzas had a crazy thin base and a lot of sauce and things on top, trying to pick a slice with the hand would end very badly, so maybe in other places the people would have used the hand.
If you see people eating pizza with a fork you mock them. I didn’t care if its your best friend, mother, or the goddamn Pope. Although the current Pope is from Chicago so he knows better than to eat pizza with a fork like some kind of filthy degenerate.

They have that knife & fork deep dish out there, don’t they?
Not if you eat it correctly.
Don’t worry about it. Anyone that eats pizza with a knife and fork is a fucking idiot.
Some people hate getting dirty hands, they just don’t like the feeling of it. Just eat pizza as you please.
Knife and fork for pizza?! Did they not wash their hands or something? That sounds like something only the insane would do
I do it when possible, so I don’t get my hands dirty.
But I know I’m the werid one.
You’re not alone, I don’t like getting my hands dirty
IMO, it depends on how bendy the pizza is, how big the crust (i.e. handle) is and wether it’s a sit-down restaurant or not.
You gotta fold the big floppy ones in half, silly.
Really that’s how we eat it .
pizza is usually a finger food, unless it’s something like a chicago deep dish.
If they’re crazy, it’s even worse if they’re family members.
Have your gazpacho warmed.
Piping hot!

Zerosophisto. . . Sophistication robs the world of culture. There is no “supposed to be like” in an adult world where you are not harming others with the choices you make. There is (and should not be) just one way to “be”. Some rich people feel like they have it all figured out because they have money. Money does not equal happiness. Do what makes you happy and move through the world with grace.
IDK, be poor probably. And I bet they hate it if you talk about seizing the means of production (depending on your definition of “rich” - a well-paid hospital doctor might own 1-2 million dollars, but they got there primarily because off their salary, not because they own capital (though at that level of wealth, they most likely also have investments in stocks etc.).
Don’t be embarrassed or insecure. They probably envy you, getting to dig in with your hands.
One of the ballinest moves I ever saw was the hired band at the high-end corporate executive event where I was the cocktail waitress playing “Sixteen Tons”. And not just playing it, singing it.
I don’t think rich people would bat and I at that unless it was targeted at them specifically.
The international though, I think, might get you removed from the stage.
Hell they’d probably not even recognise what the lyrics are about. Kind of like people playing “Hey Ya” at a wedding
“bat an eye” ( blinking rapidly in confusion and stress, flinching)
The Internationale (written in French, so we leave the e on even though we translate the rest)
Perhaps you were using voice-to-type?
I agree with both your points
Giving a fuck about how you eat pizza.
you should probably not hock-up a nice big loogie, then swish it around your mouth for a minute like you’re at a fine wine tasting event, then swallow it in one big, noisy GULP.
Next time, laugh in their fucking face while you scarf down a whole pie. They aren’t better than you, in any way. 99.99% chance they’re just luckier (which could always change).
WTF?!?! Were you hanging out Mar-a-lago or something?
PEOPLE WHO EAT PIZZA WITH A KNIFE AND FORK ARE ACTUAL ALIENS
did you see how trump eats a pizza, he eats crust first.
First off, no.
Second, GFY: newsweek.com/john-kasich-pizza-knife-fork-donald-…
Search for Trump like you would in the Epstein docs. You’re clearly shilling here.
The decorative nooses the men have around their necks are not for pulling. Usually.
Play your cards right and one of them might pay you to pull on it.
People who still live in caves, they eat with their bare hands.
(and Us americans, of course)
I swear I looked like a bum when I grabbed a slice of pizza with my hands
I used to eat pizza with chopsticks lmfao.
I remember eating pizza with the spork thingy in school and I feel like a fucking weirdo lmfao.
As for the question: Make sure you DO NOT FORGET TO
🎵 SHIT ON THE FLOOR 🎵
RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM
THEN THROW THE SHIT AT THEIR FACE
And make sure it get it on livestream, it’ll become the most famous video of the 21st century
you been hanging out with Epstein’s friends?
idk
Honestly, just take a moment to feel whatever embarassment you feel about this event and accept that it happened. You can’t do anything about it now, except learn from it.
I would say, in general, when you are in unfamiliar company you should just keep an eye on whatever everyone else is doing and follow their lead.
I was in the Denver Art Museum riding the elevator down and shared the car with a guy who looked like he made $200k a year and his bitchy wife. She gave me the stinkeye while glaring at me while I chatted with her husband. I just squared up and gave her mid handbag and shoes a quick once over before shaking my head.
Shit, my boots cost more than her handbag and my watch probably costs as much as her shoes. Who cares if I’m in hiking boots and some old Polo long sleeve.
Bitch, art is for everyone. I know I’m working class but at least I buy shit that will last and is actually useful.
So I definitely recommend you do stuff like that.
Wat
In front of rich people you shouldn’t blow your nose without a tissue and then simply throw the snot down on the ground.
In front of any people really

Why worry about the opinions of people who eat pizza with a fork‽
