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

    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.

    Knife and fork for pizza?! Did they not wash their hands or something? That sounds like something only the insane would do

    Rich people don’t care how you eat your pizza. Stuck up people do, but you get plenty of those without money.

    You shouldn’t care about their opinions of your personal habits.

    They look at you funny:
    “Fuck off werido. This is how normal people eat pizza.”
