AIBU, which stands for 'Am I Being Unreasonable', is the perfect platform for sharing your thoughts and opinions! So, for today's AIBU discussion, we have this story from Reddit/miggovortensens:

Am I being unreasonable for bringing rotisserie chicken to an all-homemade potluck?



'My sister and a group of her friends from high school meet once a month to catch up and have a potluck dinner together. This month they met at my sister’s place and she asked me if I wanted to join them. She told me I had to bring a homemade dish, since that’s one of the purposes of these gatherings, to give them a reason to cook something and take a break from fast-food. I said okay.'



'I was supposed to make a roast chicken, but I honestly forgot to defrost it, so I ended up buying rotisserie chicken on my way to my sister’s house. I didn’t pretend I had made it, I was honest, none of her friends minded, and it’s not like I’d bought KFC.'

'My sister looked bothered though, and when we were alone for a moment she told me I had to have warned them when I realised I wouldn’t be able to cook, and that it was rude of me to show up for the first time already disrespecting the rules of their group or what not. I thought that was such an overreaction, but now I’m wondering if I was being unreasonable.'

What in the hell is a "homemade potluck"/

Sounds like something straight outta Compton....or New York.
Very popular around the '60s...as was having one meal at a persons home then everyone moving out to have more food at a second persons home and then a third persons home for something different again and then finally finishing up at the last persons home for more food ,drinks and a party. Fun nights back in the day.:unsure:;)
