My Annual Halloween Rant

Last year I complained about people who drove their kids around in a suburban neighborhood to trick-or-treat – chauffeur-driven candy gathering. I saw more of it this year, including several trucks and a Mercedes. I’ve also gotten used to kids from other neighborhoods coming into ours, sometimes driven there by parents or in some cases even driving themselves (and if you’re old enough to drive, you’re old enough to buy your own damned candy!)

They’ve gotten more brazen this year. One guy pulled a truck up in front of my house, offloaded his kids to hit a few houses on my street, and when they finally came up to my door, he walked up with them and revealed that he had no reason to be in this neighborhood by actually asking me for instructions on how to get back out to the highway!
