News@11: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
Just when you thought it was safe to be kind to someone, two young girls discover they should just keep their cookies to themselves. What a cut down. I suppose Taylor Ostergaard, 17 and Lindsey Jo Zellitte, 18 will think twice next time they decide to do something nice. Just incase you don't want to waste the time following the link, here is a break down of the story:
Ostergaard and Zellitte decide to bake cookies for their neighbors and leave them on their porches as a little surprise. This is a case of 'Don't let your right hand know what your left hand is doing,' i.e. it's more rewarding to do something for someone and not get praised for it. So the girls leave the cookies on their neighbors' doorsteps at night, ring the doorbell, and run away. . . behavior that would be much more suited towards pranksters and schizophrenic Jehovah’s witnesses, but alas, they are only kids. So they leave the cookies. Myself personally, though I love cookies, would never bother eating cookies I found on the ground, unless perhaps I picked up the plate as I saw the girls running for cover. Any number of germs or bugs could have crept onto them before I got to them. Well, instead of just discovering the cookies and throwing them away like a good citizen of world of paranoia we live in, she, Wanita Young, decided to go and have a heart attack, or close to it.
A judge faults the girls for her near death experience and they are left paying $871.70 in hospital bills plus an additional $39 in court costs. My opinion, though it may mean little is that, Young was probably already knocking on deaths door and was just waiting for an opportune moment to crash. So here these girls come along and leave cookies for this woman out of the kindness of their hearts, Wanita thinks, I can say I thought they were terrorists, and she decides now is a good time to have an episode, I've been needing that bypass.
Here is what this writer has to say: Stay away from good deeds, they only lead to trouble. I'd be wrong if I said that without stating that this is in no way a moral attitude and that one woman's idiotic response to kindness should not devalue every good deed you do. But better to be safe than sorry.

Maybe the neighbor was, like, on a carb diet.
The situation has nothing to do with "good deeds"; rather, Americans are avoiding fat-ass intake and sick of those who try to push CC cookies in our faces.

LOL, perhaps but I think in this instance she suspected terrorists.
