I was having dinner at my girlfriend's parent's apartment. It was only the fourth time I've met them. I reached for the mashed potatoes, picked up the bowl, and it cracked. I was left holding a small peice of ceramic, but the other much larger, heavier peice hit the baked chicken and slid down onto her mother's plate. Therefore cracking her plate and sending food all over her. She was covered in greenbeans, mashed potatoes, chicken, gravy and cranberry sauce (They have cranberry sauce with almost EVERY dinner!). At least it didn't knock over her drink! She teared up and ran from the room. Her father gave me this really dirty look, and went after her. My girlfriend said "Let's get out of here.". I was not about to argue. I felt like a total ass, and she didn't make me feel any better because she was laughing hystericaly at me in the car.
