Saw something that actually pissed me off this Halloween. Walking around, there was this house of teenagers with their light on and a paper sign saying they weren’t handing out candy. Okay, that’s fine. But then their friend’s car keeps speeding up and down the road, where they’re literally just dumping people’s bowls into their bags and bringing it into the house. These teenage assholes were essentially ruining trick or treating in the neighborhood because everybody’s “take 1” bowl was being emptied for this house party where the only thing I heard at the door was “PICKLE RIIIICK”. IDK, I just think it’s a real dick move to purposefully try to steal every open bowl in the neighborhood for a house party of teenagers/adults acting like children. I got pissed when my kids came across 4 empty bowls in a row super early in the night. Like it’s trying to ruin a holiday for kids. Don’t mean to sound like a chud, but if people widespread can’t even honor how something as relatively meaningless as the candy bowl is for everybody, how do we expect a society built on communal ownership and looking out for each other to work?
Yes, candy theft is that serious on Halloween. It is meaningless, but that’s also like why would you take something meaningless from literal children. If you live in a neighborhood of mostly parents, stealing people’s bowl is the equivalent of stealing Christmas from a bunch of kids. There are plenty of conversations to be had about Christmas, just like Halloween, but even if you steal from the richest houses in the area, stealing candy or Christmas gifts from kids is literally an idiom for a dick move, literally Grinch shit. Plus, it’s “trick or treat”. People love a good prank for Halloween. When someone’s hand comes out of a bowl from seemingly nowhere on Halloween, it’s cool special effects. As a kid, I’d still be willing to give some candy to someone else’s bowl for a good trick instead of a treat, regardless of whether or not I was a thief.
They were literally 80’s after school special villains. All but 2 of them wearing something with Pickle Rick on it managed to only be a cherry on top for how straight out of a parody these people were. My kids and I walked around the culdesac to look for candy bowls, only to be met with empty bowls and loud ass "PICKLE RIIIIIIIICK!"s at every house.
Sometimes my life is literally just a bad 4chan copypasta.
