So your know their home

A person on our block was home with a few cars in the driveway and decided not to answer the door for Trick or Treaters. She has her own children (teenagers). She often questions why no one waves to her or says Hello when they see her out and about. One more reason not to say Hello!

Just a thought, maybe by the time you got to her door, she was out of candy. I tell my kids, if the light is off, don't go to the door. We had so many at one point, I had to not answer the door so I could go to the bathroom and get a drink. Or, maybe she was out walking the neighborhood herself! Why don't you try saying hello to her next time you see her, it won't kill ya!

So your I mean you can't make a sentence, and whine about stupid Sh*t. Maybe this person just wanted to avoid you.

A friend of mine just had a death in the family and family was coming in from out of town. I'm sure they're not in a celebratory mood tonight, so please don't judge.

First of all she did not run out of candy- she didn't answer the door from the beginning. Secondly, she was home, she went and got her mail in the middle of trick or treating, thirdly, no one died in her family, she just posted a message on FB that she "forgot" to buy candy. AND she didn't want to avoid me- I don't trick or treat, I hand out the candy at my house. Lastly, she had a pizza delivered to her house at 5pm. She can bitch about all the neighbors being rude to her- but it works both ways. Put a sign on your door saying your either too cheap to buy candy or "that you are not home"
Oh, and by the way I say hello to her all the time- how do you think I know that she complains that no one likes her-she tells me!

Oh, by the way Fred- Shit is spelled with a "I" , not with a wimpy ass *. We are not in grade school anymore- we are adults- so if you are ashamed to write "SHIT", get yourself a diaper!

Sorry lord anger, you must be neighbor of the year. I bet you get invited to all the parites not. Oh Shit heres comes only you. Pull down the shades shes such a downer.

We only had "3" teenagers for trick or treat?
Very dissapointed.... I was wondering what happened to all the kids this year on Joliet Highway?

We have a neighbor like that on our block, a divorced woman who lives in her own little world. The neighbors at the end of the block had a bonfire and at 7:30 she walked over to the bonfire. She said she was napping all day and never heard the doorbell ring. We all laughed and she then asked how many kids came trick or treating. One of the neighbors said to her "if you cared you would have answered your door"- she just laughed. Whatever!

Who cares? This is typical bully mentality. Someone isn't doing what "most others" would expect. Instead of
A) letting it go
B) politely showing concern and starting conversation
C) Tell your kids to leave them alone

..you instead chose to try to outcast this person on the internet

"Only you"- be careful if you're gonna be correcting spelling or grammar on here. It's apparent by the name of this forum you started that you don't know the difference between THERE, THEY'RE and THEIR. You're (I'm assuming) not in grade school anymore either.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Our neighbor this morning was bragging that she didn't have to spend a dime on candy this year because she didn't feel like answering the door. I'm sure she had no problem participating in Halloween a few years ago when her kids were younger. If you don't feel like participating in Halloween, that's your right, but don't brag about how cheap you are the next day. "Only you" go tell your neighbor that if she wants to avoid Halloween she should sell her house and buy a condo on the fourth floor. Trick or Treaters can't handle four flights of stairs in those awful Halloween costumes.

Seriously, who cares who gave out candy and who did not give out candy? There is no law saying you are required to give out candy on Halloween. I do, but that doesn't mean my next door neighbor has to. It's a personal choice. If they choose not to take part in the holiday that is their business. Maybe they are strapped for cash. If they eat pizza on Thanksgving will they be breaking a federal law? Come on, it's not really a big deal.

This is so sad. Are you really that bothered over someone not answering the door? Maybe its not that she is cheap, maybe she has no money. MAYBE someone who drives mercedes and has half-million dollar homes think YOUR cheap for driving "cheap" cars. OR maybe she didnt want to pay for candy to pass out to kids that A. are not even from the neighborhood and/or B. not even in costume. if you came to my door not in costume and not saying trick or treat you got one piece of the not so great candy, the costumed trick or treating kids got snickers.

WOW, who blew this topic out of proportion? So, she was home, ordered a pizza and didn't feel like answering the door-sounds like the usual Halloween grinch! Next time tell her to put a sign on the door saying "I'm too lazy to answer the door & too cheap to buy candy". Every neighbor"hood" has got one- just deal with it.

I remember back in the day the cost for not handing out candy would have been eggs and shaving cream. Southside style!

oh yeah we talking 111th to 123rd kids lived for the neighborhod grinch 20 years ago.

Wow. Are you all serious...you're really complaining about the lady who didn't answer her door? What business is it of yours, anyway? I'd bet a big old Benjamin that you all have your own little skeletons in your closets, along with your crazy little quirks, and no one is posting nasty comments about you.
Honestly, find something better to do with your time. Leave your neighbors alone and let them live the life that they choose. Instead of the excessive negativity...here's a thought: every time you feel the need to throw a negative out there, just say something good in it's place.
There's enough rotten shit in the world without a bunch of cranky neighbors slinging mud.

My little skeletons are still in the front yard. Let me know when you want to drop off the Benjamin!
