I used to get annoyed when strangers knocked on my door. Now I just tell them that our conversation cannot continue unless unless they eat at least two of my cookies. They just say no thanks and step backwards without turning around until they feel safe. I guess some people just don't like cookies.
You call them "cookies", but the rest of the English-speaking world calls them "Alice B. Toblas brownies", right? Yes, I'm joking, I've never eaten that kind of brownies. One never knows what is actually in them, and they may contain a one way ticket to a coffin.
