Crying with laughter at some of the posts in this thread. Hilarious.

No idea WTF a boo is and no desire to find out. And yes, I do have kids.

Per another thread, I know a lot of parents think people without kids are miserable, lost, lonely, empty people. They're wrong - but even if they were right, at least we would not have to do sh*t like this.

No, we haven't been boo'ed yet. It's a pre-emptive strike.

Me too! We got the bag of plastic junk and candy last year then it caused arguments with the kids when I refused to do this to two more families. Who has time for this and who would want this junk? I’m avoiding it all this year.

Kids in my neighborhood love it. And really, it takes minutes to do. So, fine if you don't want to do it. But don't act like it's some big commitment.
You're already buying candy for Halloween. Put it in a gift bag or reuse what was used to Boo you last year (e.g., fabric bat print bag left for us last year was used). Print a sign. Let the kids have 5 min. of fun. I work FT. So does DH. Kid has activities. We are busy. And yet, somehow we manage to carve out 10 min. to do this.

By all means, if you don't like it then PLEASE do preemptively put up a boo sign so we know not to inconvenience you. Put it in the yard on that stick you removed from your ass.

Well, boo to you, OP, AKA Big Boo Boss.

Your neighbor is a clearly an anti-booer or perhaps a boo-denier or possibly boo-phobic. Maybe all three.

Put your boots on and consider yourself fortunate to have avoided this whole boondoggle out in the boondocks. If it boosts your spirits, give out full sized candy bars for Halloween.Kids will be booking it to your door. Or, stay home and have some booze. Boom! Problem solved.

And to think I almost didn't open this thread!

DCUM gold!

This is some pure yte people $hit.

Not eating candy apparently.

How many boos could a honey boo boo do, if a honey boo boo could boo too?

this is an amazing thread

Didn't read the whole thread, but we're about to move from an apt in DC to the burbs of Alexandria and I so do not want to be involved in whatever this is.

Like chain letters, boos die with me.

Thank you, that's good perspective. This must be the case. I just don't get why she wouldn't tell me when we saw each other. I would have been happy to wait another weekend or so, etc. It's fine, obviously, it's just my kids were disappointed when I said we couldn't Boo their friends' house.

Maybe she isn't even interested in your boo. Maybe she is hoping that by not participating her creepy hovering neighbor will take a big step back..

Correct. The sign was obviously a preemptive strike.

Anonymous wrote:So what happens if a booer booed someone and the booee does not go around booing anyone else? This craziness just stops? Do they investigate who stopped the boo chain and put eggshells on their porch?

See, it's only craziness if the adults do it. For kids, it's a lot of fun. They get to go out in the dark, stake out the door, find a place to hide so after they leave the boo bag and knock they can race there as fast as they can and hopefully watch the door get opened.

It does get weird when adults think it's all about them, tho. As usual.
