A few days ago, we were at the hubby's sister's house. More often than not, the sister and her hubby start arguing while we are there. Nothing serious, it is usually more "picking on each other." At least, it is in the beginning. That soon turns to the both of them bringing up other stuff and the hubby and I slinking away into the corner trying to avoid being brought into it. The other day, we were brought into it.
I won't go into specifics, but basically, it ended up like this:
Her: Do you think it's safe for our kids to be doing that? (She was asking us.)
Him: Don't you think she's overreacting? I was standing here watching them the whole time.
Her: Well? Do you think I'm overreacting?
Uhhh...
Needless to say, we didn't agree with either of them and left as soon as I could drag hubby away. He tends to like a show, but I feel so out of place when that happens.
Moral of the story, folks, is don't fight in front of company. I don't know how or why couples do this. No matter how angry I am with the hubby, even if I am absolutely infuriated with him, I can always throw on a smile and be civil to him in front of our guests. The whole world doesn't need to know (and doesn't want to know) your business.
Do you fight with your spouse/significant other in public? Have you ever made anyone feel really awkward by making them witness it?

I always treat him super sweet when companies around but gloves come off when they leave!!
We use to have some close friends who would fight in front of us ALL THE TIME! One time she got so upset at her hubby that she threw the bowl of taco meat across the room at him. We got up and left because that was supposed to be our dinner!! :D
