There's always one.

I remember some years ago catering a dinner for 300 and I had one of the
guests crowding me as I worked pre-service being "collegial" (and
there's always an element of 'stump the chef' in such discussions). A
grease fire occurred and I yelled for someone to close the kitchen door.
This fellow said--when it was actually the time to be silent and let
the emergency conclude--"oh I see, you're trying to restrict the air
flow in the room." I replied, "I hadn't thought of that. I just didn't
want the other guests coming in here to see what was happening."
