64 Spine-Chilling Halloween Disasters That Will Make You Question Everything Beyond Costumes
Before you freak out, I’m in a manual wheelchair. I was paralyzed from the waist down when I was 4, so to my memory, I’ve been this way my entire life. With my parenting, I learned how to be grateful, independent, how to adapt, and that my disability doesn’t hold me back from anything.
I was taught that everything in life happens for a reason, and being paralyzed honestly just made me stronger physically and mentally than I would have been. I make jokes all the time about my wheelchair because it’s who I am, it’s funny, and there’s no use in being sad and depressed about not being able to walk.

So for Halloween last year, I decided to dress up as a handicap sign. I used a large cardboard square and painted it blue on both sides. I used white tape to make the symbol on one side and then used battery powered lights to outline the symbol. Then I dressed all in white to be the other side.
I thought it was absolutely hilarious, but I recently told my best friend about it and he told me it was rude and I shouldn’t have done that. He says not everyone understands life with a disability and that is why stereotypes are often placed on me. He says I need to be more understanding of their perspectives and that it wasn’t right for me to make others feel uncomfortable like that.
My friend (S) and his roommate were throwing a Halloween party. S called me a couple days before the party to chat and I mentioned what my costume was, and that I’d worked hard on it and was excited to finally wear it. S said he thought his girlfriend (D) was planning to wear a nearly identical costume. I thought this would be fun, and we could compare styles and have a laugh about the whole thing, take pictures together etc. The day before the party, S called me and asked if I could change my costume for the party.
Apparently D was pissed that I would try to “outshine her” (S’s words) and she told S that he needed to ensure I would not wear the same thing as her.
I said absolutely not, I’ve been working on my costume for a few weeks and spent a good amount of money to make it perfect (in my eyes). I said that I really didn’t want to lose out on having fun in something I’d worked hard on, and I didn’t have a ton of money to spend on a new costume. Not to mention most of the costume shops wouldn’t have a great selection the day before Halloween. S said he understood and would talk to D.
*as a note, D didn’t live with S and was not helping with hosting duties.
The party comes around and everyone is having a great time. After a few hours, I noticed D wasn’t there and asked S where she was…she was in S’s bedroom alone the whole time with the door locked. She finally came out four hours after the party started, only to see me and smash her drink/glass on the floor and then she started crying. It was a huge scene and basically ended the party.
I felt bad because i really could have gone out and bought a different costume, and I never meant to make her cry. So, AITA?
Essentially, my daughter is 4 yrs old and this will be her second Halloween since her mother and I broke up. Last Halloween, all I got was a simple picture of her costume and a short text saying she had fun. Now, baby momma is trying to ask if she can come pick her up for an hour or two and take her trick or treating.
I’m really not about it. I have a full day of activities planned and I feel like baby momma’s being intrusive, especially this close to the holiday.
AITA for not being willing to share time?
Our neighbors throw this LUX Halloween party every year. 🎃
Dry ice, flashing laser lights, awesome music, “haunted house” tour in basement for kids, cool “adult beverages” upstairs for grownups.
Photo booth, ice slide for shots, pro actors dressed up doing tarot & palm readings; they go all out & it’s wild.
Neighbors are very specific that it’s invite-only WEAR A COSTUME. A costume Halloween party.
He never wears one and I always do.
Once I got him to let me at least put some blood “tears” under his eyes, but he washed them off later in the bathroom after we got there.
I feel stupid wearing this elaborate costume I’ve been thinking about or working on for weeks and he’s wearing, like, jeans and a long sleeve black Tshirt. Forget a couples costume; that will never happen.
He won’t even do a simple last minute “joke” costume like “chick magnet” putting a little felt baby chick 🐥 on his shoulder or “Salt Bae” just grabbing a salt shaker & some dark circular glasses & short-sleeved black T.
I asked if he’d just put a toboggan and a flannel shirt on this year and say he’s Jacques Cousteau, but no way.
Everytime he shows up not wearing anything, our neighbors ask why he didn’t dress up & I can tell they are not pleased.
I begged again; it’s “no” once more.
So now I don’t even want to go. He says I’m being “silly.”
They go all out to throw the neighborhood this beautiful, huge, unique, superfun party and he can’t make a minimal effort to comply with the “come in costume” request.
