One possible scenario:

Husband: Is this how you order? (a genuinely shitty comment, cruel and not at all funny)

Wife: Lay off, will you? I've had a rough day, and you know it.

Husband: sorry, honey, it won't happen again.

Waiter makes no comment, as he sees the joke wasn't appreciated by anyone.

If Husband makes any comment significantly different from the second one above, write an article like this one.
