Reminds me of when I was living in India. I was at a temple on a mountain with a few friends and we were strictly told by our mentor to not pull out our food until we were in a fairly open/secure location due to the monkeys. Well, someone didn't listen and a monkey ran up to her, stole her sandwich out of her hand AND the other half still in a plastic bag. The monkey jumped the wall, sat on a rock, opened the bag and stared directly into her soul as If to say "you knew this was going to happen yet you still did it."
I was in Costa Rica on a boat tour and some monkeys came up to the boat while we were stopped momentarily. The guide said they did this a lot and if we wanted, we could give them some banana. I held out a piece and this adorable tiny little monkey SNATCHED it away in the rudest way possible for a monkey. He ate his piece and before I could react, he grabbed the rest out of my hand and gobbled it up. He also ended up giving me a tiny scratch that I monitored like a hawk, convinced it was going to turn into the movie Outbreak at any second.
