Like just about everything that was imported from America, Halloween is a stupid holiday that should be banned from my country.
I can't stand it.
I already know what's going to happen, the same thing as the last few years. Children will be knocking on my door, in low effort costumes, and ask for candies. I won't buy candies, because why the hell would I spend my hard earned money on random children? So they'll find a major disappointment when I tell them that I have none. I guess that's the one fun thing about Halloween, seeing the disappointed looks on the faces of stupid brats. Unfortunately it appears that my BF has to work that day, so we can't share those moments of joy, but if some kids start crying I might take photos to share them with him later.
Reminds me of last year, by the way. There was a girl in a pirate costume costume and I was just about to ask her whether she's too stupid to understand that the concept of Halloween is to dress up in a scary costume. I ultimately didn't, but in my mind I could already see her tear up and that thought made me very happy for a moment.
Anyway, the idea of Halloween is certainly not to dress up as a super hero, that's what Carnival is for. Way worse though, half of the boys didn't even wear costumes. So basically, what they're telling me is that I'm expected to give them sweets just for showing up and knocking on my stupid door? And they don't even have the courtesy to wear at least a bit of make-up to give the faint appearance of caring about more than getting free stuff? No? Alright.
But back on topic I guess. Halloween didn't exist as a holiday where you actually went from house to house in Germany when I was at the age that I could have gone around collecting sweets, but God knows, I would have loved to. I was stupid to think that way, because Halloween sucks, but still - it's just unfair. I first learned about Halloween on the Internet, and it sounded like such a cool concept. I really, REALLY wanted to go through the neighborhood. Now it has established itself as at hing that kids do, and now I'm a few years too old to take part in it without getting angry responses. Of course I won't have children either, so I can't even just pretend to be escorting my child for at least some of the joy. Not that I'd want to, but, like, if I wanted to, I couldn't.
It's like fate is mocking me. The one thing I've always wanted, and I can't have it. Halloween is such a stupid holiday, it should be abolished in Germany. I guess I'll start a petition tomorrow.
But yeah, those are my reasons. Why do you hate Halloween?
