Line 261:
* Many people who are members of religions that respect animal rights (such as Hindu), but who are forced to eat meat due to economic or health conditions, thank and/or apologize to the animal before eating it.
** Some more tribal-style minority religions that symbolically respected animals had separate rituals for this, in the lines of [[Thank Your Prey|"Thanks for letting us eat you, no hard feelings. We're sending you back now (just kind of, um, thinner), come again."]]
*** [[Choi Min-sik]], star of Korean film ''Oldboy'', is a Buddhist and said a prayer for every live octopus he had to eat during one particularly gross scene.
* There was a recent{{when}} case where a U.S. Serviceman was mugged at gunpoint by three other men... however, upon opening his wallet and finding his military I.D, they returned to the man, apologized, gave him back his stuff (except his keys...) and thanked him for his service.
** A similar urban legend exists about a group of teens who stole a car for a joyride, opened the glove box and realized it belonged to [[Mister Rogers' Neighborhood|Mr. Rogers]], and returned the car with an apologetic note.
* Attila Ambrus, a failed Hungarian hockey player, robbed post offices and banks at gunpoint. He would usually thank the teller, even though slightly drunk.
