If your trees get covered in toilet paper, is it an insult or a compliment?

| I've always wondered. This did not happen on Long Island, at least not where I grew up. I see it here often. |

| It's a sign that a boy likes the girl who lives in that house. At least, that's how it was 30 years ago. |

| Could be either. It's a prank. We usually did it to friends on a milestone and our house was tp'd on my dad's 40th birthday by my parents' friends. |

| It's an insult... usually on Halloween to a crotchety old person's house. |

If the perps are junior high or preteen it is either an insult or a crush.
If they are high school, then it means your kid is one of the gang, or a crush. TPing for high school kids is a right of passage. If you are a high school teacher, then the kids think you are really cool and fun. If your adult friends did it, send them some beer. Welcome to neighborhood! |

I'm from the Detroit area and people do this on Devil's Night. It's an insult but better than having your house set on fire.

| The sports teams where I live do it as a rite of passage for new varsity players, and the swim teams do it to cheer on kids. |

| This week and last it's for the swim teams and it's all in good fun. |

| Lot's of TP on Western Ave NW this weekend. Was wondering about it myself. When I was a kid, it was usually done to some poor, unpopular's kid's house. Glad that it doesn't seem to be the case here. |

Agreed -- we got tp'd on Saturday because our swimmers made champs. It is a tradition for swim team. |
