Once I forgot to take them out before dinner eating out. Embarrassingly, while I tried to take them out discreetly, one popped off and landed on my boyfriend's dinner plate! :oops: I was mortified until I realised that it could have been worse; it could have landed on someone else's dinnerplate! :o...
