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
I think it’s just this meme you’re remembering
Act like they’re your superiors. They bleed and die just like poor people
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
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.
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.
Have your gazpacho warmed.

What should I NOT do in front of rich people?
Diminish yourself or your self worth
Rich people don’t like it when you believe in socialism or progressive tax rates.
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.
What should I NOT do in front of rich people?
Care what out of touch rich fucks think.
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.”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.
Giving a fuck about how you eat pizza.
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.
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).
