A woman captured the amusing moment her aunt mistook an Apple MacBook for a chopping board – leaving the family in hysterics.
Bree Tomasel, an Aussie radio host living in New Zealand, shared the video on social media showing her Aunty Shirl being called out by a family member for slicing papaya on his brand new, expensive laptop.
‘Jesus Christ that’s my laptop, it’s not a freaking cutting board,’ he screamed.
‘Christ. It’s a bloody brand new MacBook.’
Aunty Shirl’s jaw dropped the moment she realised her mistake as the man shook his head in disbelief and jokingly said, ‘Hopeless’.
Bree can be heard laughing uncontrollably behind the camera as her mum Di gasped in horror: ‘Oh my God’.
Despite the mix-up, Aunty Shirl couldn’t contain her laughter as everyone saw the funny side.
‘Aunty Shirl used a MacBook as a cutting board… accidentally,’ Bree said in the caption, adding the hashtag: #okboomer.

The video was originally posted in December 2019 but it has been making the rounds on social media again in recent days, racking up more than 1.3 million views.
‘That cutting board had to cost a lot,’ one suggested.
‘Omg I can’t stop laughing,’ another shared.
‘Lucky you caught her before she chucked it in the dishwasher,’ one joked.
‘Cutting Edge Technology,’ another joked in light of the situation.
‘In her defense, it literally has an apple on it,’ one pointed out.
The video has gone viral once again, with Specsavers chiming in: ‘Hey’, a nod to its famous slogan, ‘Should’ve gone to Specsavers.’
Many saw the funny side to the situation, with one suggesting: ‘At her age she can do whatever the heck she wants she deserves it! Keep laughing, it keeps you young.’
Others pointed out the laptop should never have been left on the kitchen counter.

‘Why did you leave it on the kitchen bench in the first place?’ one asked, laughing.
‘To be fair, that’s a kitchen not an office,’ another added.
Meanwhile, many people shared their own experiences of family members, friends or acquaintances mistaking everyday items.
‘One of my uncles did this after he saw an apple and assumed it was a chopping board,’ one revealed.
‘An old lady put a burning candle on my sister’s iPad once because she “thought it was a mirror”,’ another shared.
