Now you don't have to worry about answering the door every five minutes?

NGL I was always that person before I had a kid to turn off the lights go into my back bedroom and act like I wasn't home on Halloween, but that changed once I had a kid

My girls did the same thing, then after I moved to Indiana, my grandsons and their friends did that. My new strategy is to buy candy my family doesn't like. Got a whole bowl that been out for a week now, no takers. Major choices are Ike & MIke, Circus Peanuts, Reese's Cups (they're allergic to it), Strawberry candies (allergic), black licorice and some real Scandinavian Salmiakki for me.
Sometimes you have to think like a kid to outsmart them.

If you like liquorice, you should try this stuff: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tjärpastiller

Nope, I like the same candy. They're teens so bottomless pits.

Put the candy in a gum ball machine. At least then if they eat it you’ve got quarters to buy more.
I only really get one kid and I think his cousins (1-3 kids coming as a single group) at my house, so one of these years I should go over the top and make, IDK, pumpkin cake pops or something.

NGL, I'm still that person. Don't get me wrong, I like Halloween, but without kids all the candy is mine!

I'm more into going to the store and buying clearance candy the next couple of days after

I'm eggscellent.
I do this, after Halloween AND Valentine's Day.

I bought a bag of candy just in case a stray trick-or-treater shows up at my door. I’ve already eaten three peanut butter cups. I can’t stop.

So I got some news tonight I was waiting for but dreading getting. My best friend of nearly 25 years died about a month ago, and nobody was able to say for 3 weeks for some reason, and tonight we got the news, and it was like a gut punch reminder that he's no longer here. I am not looking forward to going to the funeral, and what he died from was even more, don't do drugs kids, seriously

Sorry to hear that. I've lost a few friends to that as well.

I really hope that plans aren't getting scraped tomorrow. It always seems to be with this person. It sucks because we used to hang out so much then COVID. After that, we would make plans and they would always cancel on me. :\
Makes it feel like something is wrong with me that they don't want to hang out. Honestly, it's the last time I'll make plans with them and just go hang out with someone who wants and has wanted to hang out since their schedule is free now.

I lost a grand-nephew to drugs. Whoever was doing drugs took him to the hospital, just dumped him on the front steps or the ER. Still had a needle in his arm. Yeah, don't do drugs, especially now. Every street drug here in Indiana seems to be laced with fentanyl. Fentanyl kills in ridiculously small doses.

Those "Depression screenings" when I go to the doctor irritate me. This appointment lasts 15 minutes, and you know damn well if I choose to open that door it will be a conversation that will last at least an hour and you don't have time for that, and the person I want to talk to about that has a 3 month wait list.

All this prep for Halloween and I want it to be done
Weird anxiety inducing dreams,.sleepless the majority of the night. Now I just don't wanna deal with fake smiles, toss out the bin of candy and just hope no one takes the whole bucket home.

Do it and let them take it all home. All problems solved, no human contact.

Go outside to take my trash out at like 6:30. The dumpster is *directly* across from my bottom floor apartment. From my door's peep hole, you can see me go all the way there and come back clearly. There's no halls you have to go through to reach my apartment like most complexes. My front door immediately leads outside.
Directly to my left when I step out my door is a neighbor taking her dog out very early. Out of instinct, I wave the moment I notice her. I don't say anything, I don't move towards her. I don't stop. I don't even think I changed expression because I was groggy as shit still. She didn't wave back, but she gave me a look and was gone fairly quick.
30 minutes ago, (so 3 hours later) I get a knock at my door from some guy and she's with him. Probably shouldn't have but I answered the door.
No hellos just "You saying gross shit to her earlier?"
So I said, "No, what did she tell you?"
She said I was making a bunch of gross and weird as shit comments to her when I never even opened my mouth. He reaffirms her story and she jumps in to dog pile. Insisted I was just being very creepy. No concrete specifics.
"Bro just tell the truth. She got no reason to lie like that."
I step to the side. "You see this?"
And point to the big ass Ring camera firmly clasped to my doorknob. Tracks everything at 1080p with audio. 70% charged. Notifies me of everything that goes past my door within 18 feet. Stores it to their cloud.
I pull out my phone, go to the app, and pull up the time it recorded what I just explained to you all. I never left the camera's view and there's no way I could tamper with the camera to even be able to give myself the chance to mess with her. I had a bag of trash, I gave a half second wave without stopping on my way to the dumpster, I toss my trash, and walk back. I come back into my home. That was that.
He just looked at her, shook his head, and said "alright". Stupid dumbass bitch had nothing to say.
I'm not even mad at homie because he didn't come at me crazy. He just asked assertively what was going on. I get it. But his girl can fuck herself. You can ruin my Monday, but you're not about to ruin my life. At least she didn't call the cops because then I might have unjustifiably been fucked. But I guess she knew better since she was lying. Never seen her until today. NO clue why she instantly hated me that badly to try and get her boyfriend to rough me up.
Guys, PLEASE fucking be careful.

It would really suck if no one showed up. 6pm and it's still a ghost town
