Today, my future father-in-law, a respectable New England gentleman, bought me an $8,000 viola and bow for our engagement. I was so surprised that I spit a glass of wine from a 60 year old bottle all over his custom-tailored suit. He was not happy. FML

Wow, I can't believe all the bitchy, whiny people. So what if his fiancee's family seems loaded? That seems to be the point. He's trying to fit in and he made a huge social gaffe. I get the feeling he's a bit overwhelmed and awed by the sudden shift in social status (hence, mentioning the money) and now he's completely embarrassed. Your snide comments only show your envy and pettiness, methinks. OP, that blows. I've had similar issues. My best friend's family is way above mine in social standing; we're 5 generations blue collar and his family errs on the white collar side. I've done some things I didn't realize were rude and he had to correct me later. Luckily, his mom and stepdad are understanding. People seem to forget the relativity of FMLs. This is an FML for him, even if others believe it's only his whining. He was surprised and acted reflexively. It's not like he intentionally did something stupid.

Really? You're supposed to sip wine. And if you felt the need to be rude I'm sure there was a napkin available to hold in your gnarly mouth fluids. Yes to a course in charm school.

Haha this FML sounds like something out of a Family Guy episode. Except father in law liked you more.

Not once in my life have I ever seen someone unload the contents of their mouth in surprise, except in TV. My advice is not to use trashy drama or soap operas as a template for actual human behaviour, no one spits out of surprise. People spit out of disgust if anything. Doesn't matter whether you're well-off or not, if someone spits up over your finest suit you're going to be pissed. Dunno why people are being bitchy about different social classes though. Different folks have different amounts of money, get over it. I'm not rich by any means, but it's not like I'm living in a hut with little or no food. You've all got internet access, you can't be struggling that much.

It does happen on occasion. When I get really excited, I laugh, and it's really difficult to hold things in my mouth when I'm laughing.
