Reply to comment by fuhnetically in Taking my (23f) SO Trick or Treating. Would anyone care? by MysticalTeamMember

I'm not "hurt", but it's definitely off putting when adults force themselves into activities that are clearly meant for children. Pretending it's not isn't going to do anyone any favors.

Trick-or-treating, easter egg hunts, and "sit in santa's lap" are all pretty clearly designed for specifically for kids.

There's a million parties tonight specifically planned for adults. Go to one of those.

Never said "can't". Only meant to imply "shouldn't".

So much more healthy to fill up your body with literal poison surrounded by a bunch of people you don’t know from Adam. Yeah.

Get the stick out of your ass.

You know you're not required to drink at parties right? And, if you go with friends, you're not surrounded by strangers.

Kind of like... every other night of the year.

The world would be better off if sticks in the mud like you weren’t here to spoil innocent fun. Fuck off with your boomer energy.

Not a Boomer. Just a guy in his 30's that doesn't feel the need to buy candy for other adults.

But go ahead and beg for candy - the world needs bagars too. If you come around, I'll probably even throw you a couple tootsie rolls. But, I do reserve the full size bars for the kids.

I’m staying home to give out candy, too. I’m just calling you a twatwaffle for being a dick to adults who want to have harmless fun.

They can dress up and have fun all they want.

But if they expect me to spend my money to buy them a candy bar for doing it, they can go right ahead and pound sand.

I only budget like $200 on candy (~200 candy bars if you buy in bulk), so I generally run out at some point in the night. So that also means every “adult” that got one would be a little kid who didn’t.

lmao, that’s just dumb. I spent five dollars on bulk candy and it was enough to fill two giant bowls that should more than last the night. If you’re spending that much on candy just on Halloween night, then either you’re one of the most popular Halloween houses in the whole state or you’re terrible at budgeting.

Twix bars - pack of 36 is like $30 on amazon - most other candy bars are about the same. I have to grab some skittles this afternoon because of all the dairy allergies - maybe they'll be cheaper at Sam's, but i expect I'm going to be paying more than $1/bag.

The neighborhood kids are always excited for the full size bars. So, I buy them for the kids. Even kids from other areas are cool. Really any kid is welcome - even kids without costumes.
