This is almost completely off topic, but your story reminds me of when I met my DH’s (then boyfriend’s) grandfather. The grandfather was having a get together and DH brought me along. There were lighted votive candles decorating the windowsills. I was leaning back against a sill and the heat from the candle burned a hole in my sweater! I didn’t even notice until another guest warned me about what was happening. I’m sure that my holey sweater and I made a great first impression!

All in all, I was rather lucky. I was still pretty embarrassed by the whole thing, though!
