A young woman went to a shopping centre to do her weekly grocery shopping. She had three full bags of groceries. She decided to treat herself to a cup of coffee feeling I deserve at least that. She also decided on a bar of KitKat chocolate.
Although the cafeteria was full, she managed to find a small table, put her bags on it, went and picked up hr coffee . A young teenager, looking a little scrappy had come and sat at the ‘ her’ table. He was opening up a KitKat bar and broke a piece off it. This annoyed her. She walked over snapped up a large lump of what was left and put it in her mouth.
Without saying a word, the teenager picked up his mug of coffee, went over to the counter, got himself a buttered scone, and sat at another table. She was really furious at his audacity, and, as she was leaving walked past him, picked up his scone, took a huge bite out of it, and walked on out to her car!
She was putting her bags into the boot of the car when, to her horror, she looked and saw her KitKat biscuit bar sitting unopened on top of one of her bags!
