[Hopey]

A few months ago I was at a nice-ish restaurant for dinner with my wife. I had ordered the steak, and had a small piece of it on my fork as I was talking to her. I tend to "talk with my hands" quite a bit, so I was moving the fork around (with meat attached) as I was emphasizing a point.

Sure enough, the meat flew off my fork and landed on the table next to us -- right between an older couple who had just been seated. I apologized profusely as I got up and grabbed the piece of meat off of their table.

The thing that pissed me off a little later is that the older couple acted quite offended and they both glared at me as I apologized...like I'd done this on purpose. No sense of humour, apparently.
