This one actually isn't as bad as it sounds, I promise, but it made for a really good laugh. And it was entirely Hubs's fault.
You see, he's a fidgeter. Tonight, we decided to go out for a nice dinner at a steakhouse, which naturally meant steak knives at the table. Hubs was fiddling with his, flipping it around in his fingers, when he suddenly drops it. When he reflexively reached out to grab it, he accidentally backhanded it into the booth next to our table, hitting a guy in the side.
Fortunately, these had rounded tips, so no damage was done. Unfortunately, Hubs works with knives every day (meat cutter at a grocery store) so 1) I don't know WHY he thought it was a good idea to try to grab a falling knife and 2) I don't know if I should allow him to go to work in the morning.
After profuse apologies on Hubs's part, stifled laughter on mine, and shock for the other couple, we all had a really good laugh about it and Hubs wasn't allowed to touch his knife for the rest of the night.
