Indeed!
I used to work in an office with 3 colleagues, including one well brought-up young lady. We sat in a square of desks, all facing centrally.
It was our habit to take turns to go out for "Special Corned Beef Pasties" for our Friday lunch break.
One Friday, one of the male colleagues went "shopping" and returned with the pasties, each in a paper bag. Everyone removed their pasty and placed it on the paper bag, on their desk, before starting to eat. The young lady took her preparation 2 steps further - she retrieved a (wrapped) knife and fork from a desk drawer, placed them beside her pasty then left the office to wash her hands.
The devil must have been in the colleague to her left because, for reasons best known to himself, he leaned across and broke off one end of young lady's pasty and popped it into his mouth.
We males all started on our own pasties and, shortly thereafter, the young lady returned to the office, gave us all a lovely smile, sat down at her desk, unwrapped her knife and fork, placed them in the appropriate hand (fork in the left) while gazing at at her pasty.
Without looking up, she asked "Who touched my pasty?".
The guilty male to her left halted the transfer of pasty half-way to mouth, gave all away with a bright red face and professed (oddly) "I was just checking it for you."
Again, without looking up, the young lady FORKED the male colleague with enough force to dislodge the pasty from his fingers and draw blood from the back of his hand.
While he shrieked, the young lady said, quietly and slowly, "Do not touch my food ever, ever again" then proceeded to wipe her fork before cutting off the "molested" end and decorously eating the remainder.
Needless to say, we males were shocked by the appearance of this young lady's "other side" but the guilty colleague
had committed a "crime" and, therefore,
had to suffer the consequences.
