A young woman waiting for her flight bought cookies to eat while reading in the airport lounge. As she began eating, the man next to her also took cookies, thinking they were shared. She became increasingly angry at his presumed rudeness, but said nothing. When only one cookie remained, he split it in half and offered her part. Humiliated to discover her unopened cookies were in her bag all along, she left for her flight, realizing she had wrongly accused the polite man.
