everybody probably thinks you're gay now. the crying probably didn't help either.

If you're a straight male, you should be the slacker that volunteers to bring drinks, or paper plates

Literally you could’ve just done something you’ve already done before or something simple, but instead you let a Congolese dirt eating board convince you to spend 200 dollars on something you didn’t even know how to use and then fucked it up massively.

The icing on the cake is just how pathetic every last bit of your story was, and if your only hope of fucking Chinese bitch was using an autistic Chinese cooking utensil, you really didn’t have much of a chance to begin with buddy.

Nice made up story. But since we're having this thread, never EVER take ethnic food to a potluck. For one, you'll stink up someone's house or the rec center where it's held. Two, yt people usually find ethnic foods off-putting. You only eat ethnic food as a mixed group if everyone knows what they're getting into and asked for it. Like the company going out to a jap restaurant or for indian food as a group. You bring a nice flyover pleb dish, or just bring utensils or ice or something. This is common sense.

You can also do stuff that looks like a flyover dish. I brought Thai papaya salad to the last potluck I was at, and people ate some, presumably thinking it was some shitty coleslaw

This is how you win potlucks unless you know what people like and can make a very delicious version of it.
