[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids love to go out booing.

In our area, kids go with friends and enjoy the ding dong ditch aspect sometimes followed by a chase.

We only give a small bag of candy. No plastic.

And we only hand out candy on Halloween. (Kids choose from a huge bowl.)

Trunk or treat sometime during October is mostly a social event for families. It’s not a big thing in our neighborhood.

Candidly, I think the haters are overthinking this. It’s not your thing. Okay. If you get a boo basket, then just drop it off at another person’s house. NBD. [/quote]

Hater is a pretty strong word.

It's more rolling my eyes and an impatient sigh. Sorry if it triggers.[/quote]

This would be true if people were starting threads like "why don't you like my Boo Basket!?" But they aren't. It's clear which people are triggered.[/quote]

The fact that the Boo Baskets themselves literally have signs that are like YOU MUST KEEP THE FUN GOING BY BOO-ING TWO OTHER HOUSES is evidence that the people who do them want attention, want to control what the neighborhood is doing, etc. That’s pretty darn triggered, to leave a chore telling other people what to do.

You tried, though.[/quote]

I tried what? I have never participated in this. But if I did I can't see why it would be so upsetting. Just throw it in the garbage? Do nothing? Pass it on? Writing in all caps about this is bizarre behavior, seems like you are triggered.[/quote]

“Just throw it in the garbage”—that you for proving the point! [/quote]

Have you ever thought of actually talking to the people who supposedly subject you to this terrible imposition every year? Wouldn't that be easier than shrieking at strangers on the internet? Put your big girl panties on and tell your neighbors you're opting out.  [/quote]
