This really surprised me:

> They entered the room bearing a plate of cookies. Four cookies. The team consisted of three people, but there were these four cookies. Every team member obviously got one cookie, but that left a fourth cookie, just sitting there. It should have been awkward. But it wasn't. With incredible consistency the person arbitrarily appointed leader of the group grabbed the fourth cookie, and ate it. Not only ate it, but ate it with gusto: lips smacking, mouth open, drool at the corners of their mouths. In the end all that was left of the extra cookie were crumbs on the leader's shirt.

I regularly have shared meals with my team and friends (mostly Brits), and this would never happen.

I'm very, very suspicious of this claim. In any situation I've been in like this, the leader has been almost overly gracious about sharing or outright giving to the non-leaders.
