Why martini glasses?

Perhaps it is just me, but I can't stand martini glasses. I always end up spilling on my hand or on the floor, especially if I'm standing and drinking. Is there any rational reason why martinis are served in these god-awful glasses? I know the reasons for wine glasses, but I don't see a good reason for martini glasses.

As a follow-up, if I asked for a martini served in, say, a rocks glass, would the bartender look at me funny?
