And maybe start telling off those who pay their friends to get them two or three more cookies so they're the only ones who can get any while most of the people hanging out can't even get one crumb. Is the problem with the core system of whatever jerk only gave twenty people ten cookies? Yes. Of course. But the least people could do is not abuse a bad system. The absolute least.
Except there weren't 20 people in the room, there were 4. Everyone had 2 or 3 cookies until the plate was empty. Then 16 more people showed up and started asking why there weren't any cookies.
