I hate getting "booed"

We go all out in our neighborhood too! I got an adorable gift bag with Halloween hand towels and pot holders plus pumpkin muffins!

I put together a gift basket with two bright orange coffee mugs and pumpkin spice coffee. I added chocolate chip cookies and a little candy.

Some of you really need to spend some time figuring out why this bothers you. It's fun!

It is part of mommy wars. Shams do it to working women to make a point.

Actually, in our neighborhood it's clicky SAHMs that want to prove how they all think they fit in and how they think others don't.. ha- at this point it;s just like 4 people doing it.. more power to them ..

Are those SAHMs with arthritis?

My 6.5 and 9 year old love to 'boo'. They dress in black and run from tree-to-tree. They beg us each night to go out and do more friends.

We could give 2 shits if you boo us back.

Lighten up. It's fun.

It's great to see all of the 'boo' signs in windows.

We moved into our house 2 weeks before Halloween and got boo'd. The first I had ever heard of it. My kids loved it. It takes all of 2 seconds to put candy in ant bag you have lying around, btw.

I work full-time, btw and we don't discriminate . We look for houses with kids that don't have a 'sign' yet. Everything isn't a g-damn clique or slight.

I agree. It was great when our kids were young and did this.

OP should lighten up. If you are complaining about someone posting a nice message and candy on your door, you don't have much to complain about.

Try getting fired and replaced by a guest worker from some third world country and being unemployed for 1 year while kids are planning on college.

This sounds just like that effing elf on the shelf.

we used to ring doorbells and run away as kids....at least my kids leave candy and goodwill! They get so excited and worked up about getting caught. It's fun.

Not at all. You get boo'do, you hang the sign out so people know you've already been boo'd. You do it once. It's over...that damn elf goes on and on and on....

Relax. just give the same boo bag to somebody else... But hang your 'boo' sign out front. Done. Was that so hard?

I think supplying the ingredients would be a nice way of doing it, if you "must" do it. Not everyone has everything lying around the house 24/7 for an unexpected bake-off.

It's not so cute as it was in the 70's, somehow (perhaps when it was considered a newer idea). Now it's just another demand, and the kids aren't that into unless they are really little.

I had never heard of this until we moved to a neighborhood in Colorado where it was a big thing. There were ghost-shaped notes that people would put on doors, along with a little gift bag. The ghost-notes would stay up, to let others know you'd already been "booed." Probably 90% of the houses in one area had the ghost-hotes by Halloween. We've been in the DC area for a decade now, and haven't ever lived in a neighborhood where people do this.

It's clique, genius. And adding the Y sound makes a nonsense word. Although plenty of morans say clique-y.
