This happens to me all of the time. But usually with people I like, so we laugh about it. Why are you going to dinner with people you don't like in the first place? That's an awfully expensive meal, if you ask me. :)

Krause's Law is both scientific and correct.

Oh dear! This is the absolute WORST! And you know how red I can turn, even at the smallest, stupidest things, so this is always REALLY embarrassing for me! Sad day.

favorite paper rant ever!

I'm pretty sure that these chairs are actually "transformer chairs" who just like to play pranks on us.

Do you think that's likely?

;)

Thank goodness this unfortunate incident has now been named because it happens to me ALL the time and now I'll just be all awkward and mumble, "damn, krause's law". :)

Love your blog!!

Ha ha ha ha ha THIS IS SO TRUE!!!!! Buuuuuuut! Who will be honest enough to say that they have actually tooted thinking it was going to be silent and it wasn't zither then try to make a similar noise by moving around, dragging their feet, moving anything to make a vaguely similar noise to throw people off??? ... Anyone... ?

The only thing worse than a sound like that happening is when you CANNOT make it happen again on purpose. I totally know this situation! If this unfortunate dinner situation has recently happened to you, I'm sorry..and if not, well good! Oh my, your paper rants are so great.
