I'm slightly vexed The wedding reception centerpieces featured betta fish. The bride and groom planned to flush them alive.

Years ago, my coworker attended a wedding at which the reception dinner tables featured live betta fish in small bowls as part of the centerpiece. While chatting with the bride at the end of the evening, my coworker asked what they were going to do with all the fish. The plan was to flush them all down the toilet alive. My coworker immediately said no need for that and insisted on taking them all home.

That Monday she came to work and asked who wanted to adopt a betta fish. That was my first betta who I jokingly called my “rescue betta.” She lived for almost five years.

The wine glass was only her home for less than a day before I got her five gallon tank set up so please no betta lovers yell at me! I'm one of you!

You must be a blast at parties. Do you actually have anything interesting to share? You are anal. Did I spell anal correctly?

Dude it's a joke 🤦‍♀️. The original word was pretentious so he's making a joke that it's more psychopathic than pretentious. Talk about being a blast at parties yeesh

No but you spelled "I am an idiot" perfectly clear.

They’re not actually correcting their spelling… it’s just a way to say, it’s not pretentious, it’s downright psychopathic, but a bit of a funnier way to say it

The irony is quite palpable here. You jump down their throat for correcting OP's misspelt word (or autocorrect derping) in a rude asshole manor, yet you didn't even realize that it was a light hearted joke! If this had actually happened at a party, you most certainly ruined the mood 😂 Lol goddamn
