Halloween: snubbed by the neighbors

@perceptivei can you explain the funny point to me/us because I’m not finding any of it funny

@Jenny1234 The first quote.

I read your comment. It has nothing to do with you. I'm not being ugly to good people who want to be normal and nice citizens. You're one of the good ones. The person who posted this might be good, too. He's funny. That's all. You know he didn't actually sit outside with candy waiting on children to pass by, right? He knows how crazy that is. He's funny without letting people know... it's great.

What parent would let their children take candy from someone sitting outside waiting... and handing it out for free. The children are supposed to knock on the door. You know this. He's waiting on them instead. Of course, normal parents would be like WTF??? Don't take candy from this man! Don't even look his direction!

Can you imagine it?

@perceptivei I have neighbours (pre-Covid) who sit outside in their driveway and drink wine and hand out candy to kids. It’s not unusual. He did comment to me “do they hate me or something?” So I don’t think he’s joking about the story

@Jenny1234 two of my neighbors sat outside giving candy to kids tonight — I’m my old neighborhood my neighbor did that. Kind of standard

@Jenny1234 I suppose, I read things differently than you guys. I'm sorry if I offended you, but I'll always believe this is a joke post. It made me laugh hard. Why are you taking away my enjoyment in life???

@perceptivei why do you think you offended me?

@BiasForAction Well, excuse me. Jeeze. I thought it was intelligently humorous. My God.

For the record, if I had children (my own or ones I'm attending to), and I see a man sitting outside [i]waiting[/i] on children to eat up his candy, I wouldn't let them look in his direction.

It's humorous. I know this guy knows this... [quote]Do they hate me or something?[/quote]

Lol. This guy isn't stupid. He's funny. He knows this is weird.

Do you not have children? If you do, and you let your child take candy from a more than willing man... a man seeking out children, you people need serious psychological help.

@Jenny1234 If I didn't, good.

@perceptivei I do have children. Grown now. I have no problem with kids taking candy from people they know. Sometimes neighbors know each other. Like the examples I provided. Maybe you can stop judging people as parents and just give people the benefit of the doubt???

@perceptivei people sit outside to hand out treats for a variety of reasons - a sleeping baby, an anxious dog, etc. When you have kids, you’ll understand

@BiasForAction Stop judging people as parents? I think I judge people as people... the people that they are.

Who said anything about kids knowing their neighbors? I didn't. He didn't. You did.

Perhaps, he found out about the meeting through discreet avenues and his neighbors are clueless about him.

How about you stop judging me? Because, I'm being real. I think I know danger a tad bit better than you.

If I'm sitting outside with a bowl of candy, [b]all of my neighbors[/b] would keep moving without saying a word.

I understand.

You know what... you're right.

[b]There's nothing funny about this situation.[/b]

Are you satisfied now?

@Jenny1234 Tell me about the sleeping baby... or the dog.

Do they make you more generous?

Is a sleeping baby or a dog the reason you sit outside to hand out treats to children? Oh, wait. You don't do that.

I sit outside waiting. You stay inside... doing nothing.

I highly doubt you know anything about a sleeping baby, an anxious dog, or a sleeping fox.

I was trying to be helpful, but that just ended. Let your kids enjoy, because you're not intelligent enough to know the difference. As Dr. Phil said, "Most people can't go to that side. Their minds can't comprehend evil."

It hurts to go to that side and no one believes you. It's hard on the ones with that capability, and you people simply ignore it.


Figure it out yourselves. Fuck this.

@perceptivei youre either drunk af or need a therapist.

@Jenny1234 Bye, Jenny.

@perceptivei it's Halloween, are you unfamiliar with trick or treating? It seems that maybe you find it funny due to a cultural disconnect?

People sit out in their driveways to hand out candy for Halloween frequently.

@ViciDraco Time to cancel the friend request.

@perceptivei I'm so confused, but alright

@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.
