My girlfriend knocked the bubbler off my carboy last night and I just noticed it this morning. How likely is the chance that my beer got effed up?

It depends what the area is like where the carboy is fermenting, but I highly doubt there will be an issue.

It was in my closet.

What stage in fermentation was it at? If enough co2 is coming out then I wouldn't worry... A closet can have a lot of dust flying around cause of all those clothes. (assuming that's what is in there)

It should be fine. Like jwatkins said enough positive Co2 pressure should keep the dust out.

Hopefully there is enough yeast and alcohol present to combat the baddies.
Good luck!

I've had this happen a couple of times and have never had a contamination issue from it. You should be fine

If it's infected, are you going to dump the beer or the girlfriend?

Or the beer on the girlfriend.
