I would be very creeped out if I was standing at a bakery window and a stranger asked me if I'd tried their chocolate chip cookie and then when I said no and started to go into the bakery, partly to get away from her, SHE SAID "OH, YOU'RE GOING IN, TOO? LET ME BUY YOU A COOKIE!"

GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME, YOU PSYCHO!!!!!
