Everyone loves a good cookie and probably wouldn’t mind spending a few bucks on one as a treating yourself moment. Maybe you’d even get a couple to share with a friend.

TikTok creator Emily (@capeshmem) has a bizarre cookie story that will make you feel almost as confused as she was when it happened.

Emily had a roommate that had decided to make cookies one evening and texted Emily asking her if it was okay to borrow some of the ingredients that she had in their kitchen.

As any good roommate or friend would, Emily told her to use whatever she needed, even if it was her more expensive ingredients like almond flour. She didn’t really think much of it; why would she?

“Went out, came back, and I had a text,” Emily recalled.

“‘There are cookies on the counter. If you want one, help yourself!”

Emily thanked her roommate, accepted her offer, and took one of the freshly made cookies.

So far, this story sounds pretty normal. I mean, making and sharing cookies with each other is practically in the lease agreement for most young women who decide to live together.

Also, most people would definitely want to share cookies with the person that they borrowed ingredients from to make the cookies.

Yet, here’s the kicker!

“I later received a Venmo request for $2.50 with a cookie emoji for the cookies that she made using my ingredients,” Emily said.

After telling such an unbelievable story, Emily received comments asking for more details on the situation and what her reaction was at the time.

She couldn’t really recall exactly what had gone down, so she went to Venmo and started scrolling back through her old transactions.

“Did I pay it? Did I not pay it? Because at that point I was like, ‘Oh, she’s unhinged, she’s going to skin me and wear me,” Emily explained.

“I found the transaction, and I found that she requested it, I must have ignored it, and she canceled it.”

When she was looking back at her transactions, Emily also found out she was wrong about one key detail. The request wasn’t for $2.50 but for $4.00! Which makes this story that much more wild.

Do you think Emily was right to ignore this pretty unreasonable payment request? What would you have done if this had happened to you?
