Wobbly Table
I've just been for a very high brow business lunch (ahem) with a contact of mine and as usual the meeting couldn't start off nice and professionally.
The table wobbled quite a bit. In fact I thought our drinks were going all over the floor at one stage as it lurched to and fro whenever either of us moved.
We had a go at repairing it ourselves and trying to be subtle about it, before the entire waiting staff got involved and actually managing to make it worse.
After several attempts, with restaurant staff crowded round us and other diners staring like we were some kind of idiots, we finally moved one table across to a non-wobbly table.
Which we should have just done in the first place!
