I really need to start doing a better job with this "thinking before talking" thing.
I was out at a Denny's with some friends a few nights ago. We thought we might be a big crowd so we were sat at a larger table. But it was an awkward setup: the booth was such that we all sort of sat next to each other, facing no one. When it turned out we were only 4 people I suggested we move to a normal booth, saying to the friend next to me, "I can't look at you and eat."
Oh dear. Maybe someday he'll forgive me. He's not THAT bad looking!
