The Advancing Spoon Offensive

FACTS CONSIDERED

A man offered ice cream on a spoon he had already used, heard a clear refusal, and kept advancing the spoon.

RULING

VIOLATION. The Direct-Fit Requirement controls because no specific article covers used-utensil aggression. Continuing after a clear refusal crossed the line. Case closed.

REMEDY

The offender must surrender spoon privileges for the next dessert, provide a clean replacement scoop, and eat one full serving using only the tiny sample spoon as the gallery observes in silence.
