"YOU DON'T TOUCH ANOTHER MAN'S DICE!" 

I was fired from the gaming industry, had my "herald" DM tournament credentials yanked, and was banned from Origins conventions (except as a regular convention-goer) because my editor kept touching my dice, back in the 90s.

I was told I overreacted, but the fuck?  HE WAS FUCKING WITH MY DICE.

No, I slapped the dog shit out of him.  It was one of those slaps that sounds like a gun going off, right?  Everything around us stops, and everyone is just staring at my hand print on his face. 

He sat there for a few seconds, then said, "You're fired yesterday."

You didn't overreact. He did. He should have thanked you for not flaying him with his own fingernails on the spot.

LOL  Everyone knows not to touch my dice, especially my husband.  He's one of those who can't roll good when it matters to save his life.  It's hilarious to watch.  They literally do the opposite of whatever he wants them to.  He uses reverse psychology on his dice and it works...

Personally I separate my dice in a sort of random, but very specific way.  I generally have decent rolls on everything except character creation.

Amusing dice teaching events that I am aware of:

One person set his dice up in a circle around the die that had most recently insulted him and took a hammer to it telling them that if they didn't behave they'd get the same treatment.  I think he left the shards in his dice bag as a reminder.

Another person set his new dice up in a circle, put his old misbehaving ones in the center and melted them, literally melted them, as an example.

Yet another person bit an offending die and threw it away.  I rescued it and it's mirror image (before it suffered the same fate) and they both roll beautifully for me, possibly due to gratitude at being rescued.

One of the guys I gamed with many years ago told a misbehaving d20 that if it rolled one more "1" it would get a guilded tour of his colon.

I never did ask what happened after it DID roll that 1...

I have an anvil and a blacksmith's hammer for recalcitrant dice.

My dice have the elder sign as the high number and they're the first set that generally rolls well for me. Though I believe they are slowly making the DM go mad... It's not my fault that he gave me a d12 scythe.

I have a set that was banned from a table...  rolled 2 consecutive 20's as the first two shots against the DM's precious big bad in the final confrontation.  He used crit tables, I rolled "beheaded."

I stilll have that whole set.
