Halloween: snubbed by the neighbors

Neighbors across the street assembled a large group of kids and parents for Halloween. I went and sat out front with my candy bowl to do handouts. They all just left walking down the street, right past me. No waves, no questions, just right on by. There was a zero chance they didn't see me sitting out there. It's not the kind of street you go down one side and come back up the other either. They've got to be walking to the wealthier neighborhood next door and I'm probably the only one handing anything out on my block. Blah.

Why don't people understand what makes this post so funny??? Why can't I copy and paste??? I'll type instead!

This is hilarious. Everyone is missing the point! 🤣

@ViciDraco Maybe I'm different, but I really thought you were being funny.

I guess not.

I'm from the southern region of the 🇺🇸. If we see men hanging out in their driveways on Halloween, we turn the other way.

For the record, I don't celebrate Halloween.

@perceptivei fair enough if you don't celebrate it. But you are pretty different if you aren't familiar with the custom. The southern US celebrates it though, so you'd have to be super rural or super urban to not have regular trick or treating.

@ViciDraco Right.

I think you're fucking with everyone here for fun. I see it in your writing... and your patience to respond.

Next year dress up like a zombie and chase them down the street so they have a reason
That must have been really off-putting to go through.. I hope you had a better night afterward. It was still really nice of you to pass out candy. I guess that just means more leftover for you.

This is perfectly hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
That's why I'm not bothering. 😑

I’ve had many kids and several of the teens told me I’m one of the only houses participating at our end of the street. I’m so surprised by that

@Jenny1234 I always have it just in case. Sometimes we get one or two groups. Sometimes we get none. But to just be passed by like that was confusing. Like, do they hate me over something? We don't really talk much but I tend to just keep to myself overall.

@ViciDraco they were rude

there wa sno halloween collecting of candy here inuk due to covid, just candy at home
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
@itsoeasy that was the case here last year.
Maybe they planned to start from one place and work their way back or something.
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
@UreBesFrend this isn't the kind of street you would go down one side and back up the other. There's really no traffic. And nobody else on the street giving it out. They were going to the wealthier neighborhood a couple blocks away

They sound a bit cliquey. Do they talk to the rest of the neighbours?
perceptivei · 36-40, F
This is hilarious.

I think our neighbirhood does the same. Have not been many kids. Some walked right by our house.

I bought a ton of candy because I thought last year was a fluke due to covid. ...I was wrong..hardly any coming by. 😒
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
@JaggedLittlePill everyone goes to those parking lot trunk or treat things these days. I can't stand those. Maybe I am just getting old and nostalgic but it was so much more fun to wander a neighborhood. And despite what the media has us terrified into believing, times aren't all that more dangerous on halloween night.

That's a kick in the nuts.

To be honest I get the feeling sometimes all those asinine and stupid true crime shows and ID Channel tripe has people I to believing every guy who lives alone is a murdering rapist and or child molester these days.
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
@MethDozer I don't even live alone. And there are kids in the house. Well, not tonight - they went trick or treating, but the neighbors know we have them.
perceptivei · 36-40, F
@MethDozer yessssss
perceptivei · 36-40, F
@MethDozer I've recently stopped watching them, because they were subtly manipulating my mind... brainwashing me to the point of death! Then, I began to wonder if the stories were even real due to the irony... "Is this edited, too?"

I had to go back to Andy Griffith reruns.

Most of these people on true crime TV are dead though, interestingly enough. 🤷‍♀️ Don't know how that happened...

Thankfully, my TV doesn't seem to be edited anymore.
