Miss Manners: Lobster shell flew off my plate and left me humiliated while my husband laughed
A lobster shell unexpectedly flew off a diner's plate and into the dining room, leaving her embarrassed while her husband laughed — now she's asking about appropriate tipping.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband and I were on the coast and stopped at a quaint place for lunch. I ordered a lobster tail, which came with the shell on. When I started to open it, it suddenly flew off my plate and out into the dining room somewhere.
