64 Spine-Chilling Halloween Disasters That Will Make You Question Everything Beyond Costumes
Thatcher and his girlfriend want to go as Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. My son plays baseball and watches all sports, including the NFL. His girlfriend is into Taylor Swift. Autumn and her boyfriend want to go as Marie and Pierre Curie.
The issue has been Autumn and her boyfriend saying mean things to Thatcher and his girlfriend about their costume. The biggest issue is that they said that his girlfriend shouldn’t be Taylor Swift because his girlfriend is Black. We are white and live in a very white area, she’s one of the few Black kids in the district. Thatcher got into a massive argument with Autumn over this. We weren’t home when this happened but when Thatcher told us what happened, we spoke to both of them.
Thatcher was justifiably really angry, he said that it didn’t matter because anyone can be Taylor Swift for Halloween. Thatcher tries to learn about his girlfriend’s struggles and culture.
We talked to Autumn about this and she at first dismissed it. We pushed her and she wouldn’t apologize until we had to threaten to take away her electronics.
A few days later, she made a comment about how “dumb” the costume was and how they’re only going as it because they’re famous and how my son is just “following trends”. Autumn was talked to again and she apologized.
The last straw was yesterday, I had gotten a call from Autumn’s science teacher that her and her boyfriend were complaining about Thatcher’s costume and had made other kids uncomfortable, I apologized and she said that Autumn and her boyfriend had said racist things before and I asked why she didn’t tell me. She told me she emailed me. After talking for a bit, we realized the email in the schools system was wrong and I gave her my correct email and she said she’d help me get it changed in the system.
I talked to Autumn and she said that her and her boyfriend just “tell the truth in class”, she also admitted she wasn’t sorry for what she said to Thatcher.
I told her she wasn’t allowed to go to the Halloween party and she told me I was overreacting. I asked some of my friends for advice and they said I was being too hard on her. My son, however, is really upset and says that knowing she’s getting grounded for her behavior makes him more comfortable bringing his girlfriend over. He says he wouldn’t want to live with us if we didn’t punish her racism. AITA?
Every year at Halloween we give out chips instead of candy. My wife and I think it’s fun for the kids to get chips to go along with their candy. We buy ahead of time at Costco so there’s always plenty. What we don’t use will be saved for things like bbq later in the year so people can have their own bags of chips.
I have a neighbor Debbie who is really upset about the potato chips we give put because her kid don’t eat them. She thinks we should offer some other options to her kid because he has a disability. I don’t think that’s fair and I told her it’s extremely rude to ask people who are giving out free stuff for Halloween to change things for just one kid and I told her I’m not doing it. When her child comes and knocks on my door he gets chips like everyone else. I let the kids pick the types of chips from the bowl that they like and I feel like that’s more than generous. Debbie said other neighbors are accommodating, her child disability for Halloween and I should think of others. I’m older so I think a child should be grateful for whatever they get for free on Halloween and not expect special treatment for a disability when getting free items.
Edit: My wife and I decided we don’t want to deal with it anymore and will be donating the chips to the local school and churches for their Halloween party. Lights off at our house.
My job had a Halloween event recently that I (32F) purchased $100 worth of candy for. No one asked me to do it, but since I knew that we did not have the budget for the candy, I took it upon myself to purchase. I did make it clear to my co-workers that if any candy was left over from the event, I would be taking it home. Well, the day of the event came, and everything went great until we were packing up to leave, with a bag of candy left over, when another department asked if they could have any leftover candy for another event they were having the day of Halloween. Apparently, a lot of other departments had donated their leftover candy. I politely declined, no reason given, just said “no, that’s okay” and finished cleaning up our area
The other department seemed surprised, and one of them made a cringy face before walking back to their table
I mean, I paid for the candy, and Halloween candy ain’t cheap, shouldn’t I be able to determine what happens to the rest ?
I live in a large neighborhood, about 90 houses. We are what’s considered the ‘rich’ neighborhood. So our neighborhood as always been a hotspot for trick or treaters. We used to get about 700 – 1000 kids a year, I’ve always loved getting trick or treaters because my kids are teens now and don’t trick or treat anymore. But in the last four years, it’s gotten ridiculous. There’s thousands of kids and their parents flooding the streets, people with hay in their rigs carrying kids around, trampling yards, littering candy wrappers everywhere, and the amount of small children walking around by themselves is APPALLING. People from the neighboring town of 30,000 people take their kids to my neighborhood.
I was annoyed, but I never really did anything about it till two years ago. My daughter tripped and broke her arm (we didn’t think it was a break but we wanted to go to the er anyway to get it checked out) and there were so many people in our neighborhood, we couldn’t get out. There were cars everywhere, lining the streets, parked in people’s yards, it was horrible. We had to wait until everyone left (about 1 am) to go to the hospital. My daughter had to wait in pain for HOURS.
