Pet Peeves

[Carnage]

That's my biggest problem with it, one of ours was the same years ago and it got so bad that I had to call the guards when they were targeting the house.

Fireworks have nothing to do with Halloween anyway, that's a brit/Guy Fawkes' night thing. Stupid pricks.

We had a problem a few years ago at Halloween where a group of scumbags drove by the house every night for about a week and threw eggs at it. I caught them at it and followed them in my car. I rang my mate and he blocked the road on his motorbike. Scared the shit out of them and never had a problem after that.

My car got pelted with eggs a good few years ago, so I parked away on up the road and walked back about 10 minutes later, snuck up on the cunts, fucked one into a hedge and the others scarpered...little cunts...

It's the 15 year old travellers chancing their arm that fucks me off.

Just had this: the doorbell rings twice (that drives me mad, once is enough), five seconds later it rings three times, so I sat back down in annoyance. Another 5 seconds later it rings again and the dirty pikey cunts open the fucking door. I run out in a rage and they're out at the gate, and have temerity to come back in with their hands out. I read them and told them to fuck off, and all the while the parents are sitting in a people carrier, too lazy to get out and walk. And they wonder why they're hated.

I approve of this tactic

Well I painted my face in protest at the whole lot of it

Don't think anyone came to the door last night... I wasn't answering it anyway. The fireworks were nuts though.

But if you disguised yourself and banged on someone's door demanding payment under threat of menaces any other night of the year... you'd be arrested for extortion and racketeering.

Just find Halloween so tiresome now. Its prob just an age thing with me but I can't remember it being much of a big deal, just a night where you threw on a shitty plastic mask, black bin bag draped around the shoulder and it was all over in a day. The whole thing is just dragged out. I have three kids and obv it's nice that they get something out of it, but fucking hell, tone it down a bit. I've noticed now, local to my area and I'm sure it's the same in other rural parts, the amount of places holding these pumpkin patch outings...fuck a few plastic decorations around the gaff, a bit of straw and some overpriced pumpkins and milk the life out of it. It's almost become identical to Xmas in the run up to it.

I like Halloween. A lot. Tbh I would be all up for it replacing Xmas  Half joking, but in the same way I genuinely would be all up for a proper Bealtaine festival returning to replace St. Patrick's Day.

Halloween's the best, you're all miserable bastards 

Near me there's a whole street where they really go next level on it. Every house completely made over in some Halloween-y way, the owners all out handing chocolate to the kids, hundreds of kids all out and dressed up.

One of the houses was done up like a scary circus big top and they had a bunch of people dressed as scary clowns (who were all like 7 feet tall) handing out chocolate and jumping out at you. You could hear the kid's screams from several blocks away. Another had what was supposed to be a crashed car in the lawn and it was full of people dressed up and acting like zombies. Real festive atmosphere about the place, street fires and people standing around, handing out hot chocolate and the like.

They do go crazy for Halloween in North America though. Which is a shame we don't back home given that it's originally an Irish tradition!

People who don't allow passengers to get off public transport before barging their way on because they've spotted a free seat. Hold yer horses ye ignorant pricks.

I love Halloween so I do. I always make a thing of it and get painted up and all but the young fella (16) made a great point to me today: "I remember you always going on about Halloween dad, but it all just feels very legal compared to the craic you said it was".

I think he hit the nail on the head

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

At that point I'd have said "You stay the hell out of my stash!"

I agree with this, and November the first should be a public holiday, not the last Monday in October!

Especially on busses, fuck those people. Used to wreck my head in school/college too, when the next class would pile into the room before your class has left, and everybody is trying to squeeze past each other.

There is one good thing I can say about my lad, (and this lad is a real fuckin eejit like me times ten no joke) and it's that we made a deal that we wouldn't tell each other any lies no matter what and the fucking shit I've heard since that I never wanted to know would blow people's minds.

Actually I'm going to link it back to being on topic and say my pet peeve is that the youth of tomorrow are far worse than the old folks think that they are
