Table manner mishaps are feared and this is for a good reason – who would want to end up being in the centre of displeasing attention? And yet, it still happens – be it a glass of wine tipped over or a piece of food slipping off the fork. How to behave in such a case?
It would be a nice habit to just avoid too much of attention and fuss. The liquid spilled would quickly be dried off, and the according spot would be covered with a table napkin – and that is all there is to it. A broken glass would be replaced by a new one. It would definitely not be suitable to offer compensation for it, while still sitting at the table; yet afterwards an interest shall be expressed in how to settle this best. Of your own accord, to go and buy an item that is similar to the broken one, is definitely not a good idea. One shall stay calm, even if, for any reason, the financial damage caused is not so small at all.
One of the most unpleasant and hazardous mishaps to happen at the table is to choke on one’s food. If that happens, the guest at the table would hold one’s napkin in front of one’s mouth and cough. In order to avoid suffocation, good table manners would need to be neglected in this particular case!
