Saturday Night Fever....ishly trying to make cookies with a non-functioning oven

Tonight, there is this.  And it's making up for the fact that I have cookie batter all ready to go and somehow I thought my oven would bake cookies with only the top element functioning.  I thought wrong.  Is it rude to bring cookie dough to someone's house for Sunday lunch and say rather sheepishly, "Hey, I brought cookies.  Can I just use your oven for a teensy little bit first?"
