A woman on TikTok had some interesting opinions on potluck etiquette, and TikTok let her know that she had the wrong idea.
Katie K (@Katiekcomedy) made a video regarding a potluck she recently attended, specifically a fellow attendee’s choice to bring a single pizza.
“I didn’t think as a person in my 30s, that I would need to say this to other people in their 30s, but here we are,” she started.
She went on to explain how someone brought one pizza for the entire group to share at a potluck, which she disagreed with.
This magazine editor's closet is packed with chic, eclectic and bold pieces from metallic jackets to shimmery chunky heels “That’s not how a potluck works,” she said multiple times. She felt the need to provide more food on behalf of that person. “I had to order four more pizzas so that everyone at the potluck could eat pizza.”
Although she felt that there was a problem with the person’s potluck strategy, not everyone else did.
“I don’t think you quite understand how potlucks work,” replied @hollyfleming165.
“The whole point in a potluck is everyone brings a little thing and it turns into a bunch of things. You’re wrong,” said @unfiltered_me7.
Nevertheless, she had a response to people arguing with her.
“If you’re the person thinking to yourself, ‘There’s no problem with that,’ then you are the problem and everyone at the potluck doesn’t like you,” @Katiekcomedy said.
She further clarified her point in a separate video, responding to the opposition.
“I don’t think that you should bring something for 30 people,” she said. “I’m saying maybe more than one pizza that one person, maybe two, can eat off of.”
Still, the comment section was not buying her explanation and still sided with the person who brought the single pizza.
“The pizza guy was the only one who understood the assignment lol,” said @charaallandis.
Unfortunately for her, @Katiekcomedy could not sway the minds of her viewers, and her opinion on how to attend a potluck remained unpopular.
Social media is proof that the story of Narcissus is true. We have raised an entire generation of people who believe they should be the center of attention.
2 pizzas would have been better, but he did not show up empty handed. She’s just being way too judgmental.
I don’t care what you say, a single dish of lime jello with little marshmallows in it will be fine for 40 people with some left over.
Just another idiot bitching.. that’s the norm now.
I agree, I would have brought two, but no big deal. Next time, he should just bring soy sauce packets.
just wondering
did anyone bring enough tuna casserole to feed 30 people?
Repeal the 19th
I have the best way. I don’t attend them. I have better luck with my pot at home. See when you go to one of these uh, events, you run into snitty snivelers who whine about your offerings.
Bag of tater chips is always good.
If you bring a popular food you must bring enough for everyone. If you bring an unpopular food, just bring a little, as that will be enough.
That seems to be her standard.
Poor fella probably would say “hey, I ain’t the Pizza Hut”.
She’s a dunce, and should be kicked out of all future potlucks. And maybe have a pie smashed in her face, followed by four more pies.
I would probably take my pizza and go home.
A big dish of lime jello with little pieces of baloney would have been a real hit.
Lol I suspect Jesus could have fed more than 5,000 with that!
For several years I led a group that among other things hosted a potluck once a year for 200 people. My rules were very clear. If you call and ask me what you’re supposed to bring, I hang up on you.
I don’t care what you bring.
