Most people know anyway. I once threw up when being shown how a
friend's teenager had painted their room (purple walls with yellow
colour blocks on it). Generally, I can spot it quite quickly and avoid
the situation. In the case of the meeting I mentioned, I was stuck at
the back of the room and he was sitting in front of me. I tried
looking elsewhere but it was in my peripheral vision. Aside from that
it proved quite a light moment in a reasonably dull meeting.

HTML e-mails have been known to make my eyes goes funny through sheer
