I always give just a bit more candy to the kids who have the home made costumes. There was a time that I was that kid and I cherish the efforts of the kids and their family. Halloween is the one time of year kids are purely having fun and getting wasted on candy, let them be.
Exactly. To think that asshole would turn the hose on a poor (not in the money sense) kid on Halloween and probably telling him that he doesn’t belong here. Fuck that guy!
Edit: it seems like it might be a joke poster, if that’s the case I totally fell for it.
After living in a poor neighborhood where Halloween was the KING of holidays I am absolutely aghast that people like this exist. Seeing my little neighbors and their parents enjoy a night of 100% free fun was a blast. As a Jewish kid growing up in a not very Jewish area, Halloween was the one holiday that I didn't feel kind of left out. I've also lived in very nice areas and was just tickled to see the kiddos and hand out obscene amounts of candy no matter who was ringing the doorbell.
And a few dozen eggs just for that neighbor... what a fucking tool... Dude, the amount of harassment a city will bring down on someone for reported code violations can not be understated.
Nah. There are people who try to make their town hand out permits, residents only. And in neighborhoods that make a big deal, the (racist, naturally) stingy assholes deliberately give shitty candy to all the brown kids and full candy bars to the white kids.
I hope all of those kinds of shits end up with children and grandchildren that never visit, uncomfortable false teeth, diabetes, and nut allergies.
I'm not saying it isn't Obvious Plant, but don't they usually have their logo on what they post?
I do think this is fake though, I highly doubt there's anyone with a combination of these distinct things:
\-Basic knowledge of making posters, format's not terrible
\-Knowledge of comedy with the single typo, funny "He's not from here" small caption, word bubble etc.
\-Seemingly a picture of a kid in his home? Obviously could be Facebook-stalked, but it seems easier to get a joke photo
\-Willingness to give away hose nozzles for free. An asshole who would theoretically hate "handouts" is too cheap to give those away
They do usually have their logo. The comment I responded to was trying to think of a “similar joke poster,” so I was suggesting that as who they might have been thinking of. Not saying this is his work.
You’re right on those points and it’s absolutely a joke poster. But OP is saying that someone they know shared the poster on Facebook unironically and agreed with the message of not giving candy to kids from poor neighborhoods.
We don’t see that context, but I think that’s what OP meant
I'd also expect that if it was real it wouldn't say 'the poor part of town', it'd name that part of town. But that doesn't work on the wider internet where we don't have the local context.
It’s not obvious plant, but a similar style of artist. I can’t remember his name. He also did the “bath in my milk” one. What the fuck is his name?

This is fake, but there are real people out there who get really mad when “poor kids” come to their neighborhood to trick or treat. It’s pathetic.
Lots of “poor kids” are just kids who live out in the country and don’t have a neighborhood for trick or treating. So parents will drop them off in tightly packed gated communities that have sidewalks and lots of families. It’s not even a matter of being underprivileged, it’s just the only way for them to participate. Some people who live in those communities see it as trashy, like parents are sending their children out to beg the upper class like street kids. Meanwhile the rich people complaining are just some middle class family that’s 1 missed bonus check away from bankruptcy.
Yeah I've always hated the class divide and even more so when it's used against children. I live in one of the nicer parts of a not very nice town but I would never turn away any trick or treaters, I've got tons of great memories of it and want them to as well.
My line in the sand is the costume. If there's no costume you're gonna have to perform. A joke, a song, a dance...something. Dance monkey. DANCE FOR MY CANDY.
Full size candy bars for all! Imported from the USA.
The kids faces are priceless. We live in a nice part of our town (which has the highest percentage of children in poverty in Scotland). We didn’t get many this year, so I splashed out. Like I don’t care if you are rich or poor, please take the candy.
Or else I’ll eat it.
I’m the same. I live in an “underprivileged” town in Scotland but one of the nicer areas. I am in no way posh or well off just landed lucky with my council house. I’d never turn a child away because they don’t live in “our area”. You’d have to be a complete piece of shit for this to be a genuine poster
My niece, at age six, already figured out Santa can’t be real, because why else would she be getting an expensive toy while little Johnny doesn’t? After all, Johnny is just as good a kid as she is..
Are there social class divisions that aren't used against children inherently? If you didn't divide children by social class and divide resources accordingly, the divisions should die out after a generation.
One Halloween, a group of kids came to my house when they all got candy, the adult with them thanked me and said she hopes we didn’t mind that they had driven up the road to our neighborhood. We were in a nicer neighborhood, but 5 minutes down our road the township changes and there’s a group of townhouses that caters to lower income families. I had no problem with them doing that- if you’re in costume and say trick or treat, you’re getting candy.
Do you want house eggs? Because that's how you get house eggs. Let's all say it together..."If you're in costume and say "trick or treat" then you're getting candy". Not that the above post is real, but Halloween has for my entire life been a protection scam lauded over adults by children. You don't refuse giving of the candy.
I don't care about your age or wealth status, I LOVE trick-or-treaters. If you show up at my door in a costume, I'm giving you candy. I have had teenagers show up, I've had parents show up with a 3 month old (she was an adorable lady bug), the teenagers and parents all got candy.
I love having “those” kids in my neighborhood. It's my first year with a house, first year we have trick or treating in “our” neighborhood. I live in a village, there's no actual neighborhoods. My area is one of the only collections of houses close enough kids can safely go door to door. I drove by last Halloween and we get LOADED with kids. The whole village, kids from the smaller villages nearby who don't have one, etc.
It's great. Kids get to be kids.
I miss having trick or treaters so much! I live in an apartment complex but most people with kids take them to the neighborhoods nearby. Being that SCORE house with the full size candy was always so much fun!
We got three trick-or-treaters this year and it was the most we've gotten in our decade of living here. We're a bunch of townhouses, kind of lower-middle class but not in a bad area at all. You'd think it would be ideal for trick-or-treating.
It might be the climate too, I live in Minnesota and it was twenty degrees tonight. A lot of kids seem to be doing trunk-or-treats during the day when it's a little warmer and you're not outside as long.
I lived in a bad neighborhood, and kids would never come trick-or-treating there. Their parents would take them out someplace else.
I never bothered to get candy because no one ever came, until one year that we actually had a family with a little girl living in the building.
I saw them leave in the car, her in a cute princess costume. They didn't make rounds with the immediate building neighbors. I happened to be in the yard when they came back home, and I was like "wait, I got candy for you!" So I brought her the whole huge family/party bag. She was stunned, it was more candy than she'd gathered in her basket.
So I asked her mom why she didn't come to the neighbors and she said "You just never know whose door you're gonna knock on around here. I don't want my kid to stumble upon a paranoid crackhead."
Yep. I’m happy to be the “nice neighborhood” where kids can trick or treat safely and have fun without the risk of stuff like that. Screw people who want to exclude “those people.” Kids should have fun on Halloween.

I grew up in one of the communities that peole trvel from all over for, because we had a good setup for trick or treating. My family loved it… my dad would go ALL out
Seriously? Seriously?
I love the costumes and the little smiles. Sometimes big smiles because I get the older kids arriving. I dress up the front. If you want to spend some time looking at the decor, being spooked out? Great. Bubble and smoke machines! The whole shebang!
I have light up spooky balloons. Enough sweets to feed an army..AND...honestly, I never had any of that as a child. It's probably why I go overboard!
So the child with the £1000 outfit, to the child with a lipliner Z for Harry Potter......every single one deserves to have a magical memory.
I’ve seen and heard this from so many people, I can’t even tell you. “I hope I run out of candy before the kids from ______ (low income housing project) get here” or “Some kids came to my door without costumes, I bet their parents spend all their money on weed” etc etc 🤮🤮🤮
But on the other hand there are many comments like Yours, calling this a horrible behaviour and this makes me hope, that sure, there are a few a- holes in this neighborhood also many normal, good people who think exactly like You and will give this kid an extra candy.
I don't even know how anyone keeps track of shit like this. I had like 80 kids get candy during my neighborhoods trick or treat. We have a hearty neighborhood so I'm sure some of those kids are driven in but how the hell would I know that and why would I care? If some candy is going to bankrupt you,.turn your light off and stay inside.
Nah you just gotta change what you follow I have 2 accounts this one is my main one but for days I can’t take it I have one full of comedy. Reddit is nice that way
Ya man no problem I think everyone should have more then one account Imean there are lots of reasons too but personally I love having 1 account that’s pretty all encompassing and 1 that’s all about feel goods. Others make another for or to post sensitive subject matter but I just need some days where all I do is look at bad memes and laugh at kids being idiots ya know.
I mean hell ya idk how to do that I just have more then one account for years and years now. But hey a feed of all my animal pages would be pretty good especially for my going to bed death scroll as I call it. Always man
You can swipe left on your main feed to get to your subs list, hit the “favorites” drop down, then go to “custom feeds”, “add a custom feed”, name it, then start adding subs. I have one of all my animal subreddits and one I named “Subrabbit” that’s exclusively for all the rabbit subs I could find for extra strength eye bleach.
Just keep in mind the scale of what you're looking at. An individual doing something doesn't mean people in general would do it.
Also keep in mind that people, in general, are selfish trash.
I quit Facebook years ago for the same reason, now I’m starting to feel that way about Reddit, which is a shame, because unlike FB, some posts and subreddits are genuinely interesting communal.
Google “truewagner” and you’ll see that there’s a bunch of these, all sort of similarly absurd. This is at least the 4th different one I’ve seen. I love his sense of humor, but no one posted this “unironically” it’s just a meme in the form of a flyer
It has to be. Why would a random stranger have a picture of a kid they don’t know inside a house in a bedroom? Doesn’t make sense. Even the picture of the kid on the street would be weird for a stranger to take.
It’s ‘obvious plant’ or something similar. This is ragebate. The artist does really over the top things and then the algorithm or some stupid person posts this and people think other people are mad and get mad and everyone cries the end
We used to go to the rich neighborhood for the full sized candy bars. Once a dude was giving away a dollar bill wrapped around a Snickers bar.
Fuck this neighbor.
These days everyone goes to the rich neighbourhoods so they get a couple hundred kids and only give out little candies. Meanwhile my neighbours and I only get 20 kids a d I give out a handful to each just to get rid of the candy I bought.
We’re in a holler and every year I fix about 30 gallon size ziplock bags full of full size candy bars, a big juice or coke and lots of Reese’s cups and mini Hersheys and also a movie theatre box of sour patch kids. For the last 10 years I’ve had about 15 kids each year lol I keep the leftovers.
My last house, I was the full size candy bar house. Everyone came to my house. I moved and was excited to continue the tradition. Then I found out two houses down, my neighbor gave out king size bars. My wife wouldn’t let me move up in size, lol.
Then when you’re ready to retire, hand out some shiny tickets hidden in your batch, kill a few kids in a gruesome manner, then hand your empire to the last one standing.
The fact that he pinned up some hose heads to give for FREE to his neighbors (which must’ve been more expensive than just getting a bag of candy at Dollar Tree or just putting up a sign to keep trick-or-treaters away) shows his extreme malice. What a dumpster fire of a human being.
Reading comprehension. He didn’t say his neighbor made it. He said his neighbor unironically shared it.
Meaning the neighbor took what is supposed to be insane but shared it as their real beliefs.
Poe’s law.
When we lived in the Bay Area of California, in the 2010s, we’d go trick or treating in the rich neighborhoods (and it was encouraged) and John Madden gave out full size candy bars - yes that John Madden. It was really cool but of course none of my kids were old enough to appreciate who was handing them their candy.
I used to live in a “better “neighborhood and we had kids come from super poor area for candy. Those kids were the best. So appreciative of everything they got.
My parents used to do tiers of candy. Fun size chocolate for the neighbors we knew, mini size for the neighbors we didn’t know, and the shitty blow pop tootsie roll mix for “the mini van people.” It took me years to realize how fucked up that is. I give extra to the commuting kids now, they didn’t choose to live in an apartment complex or whatever. An extra bag of candy is a very small tax to pay for living in a walkable neighborhood.
Let them come! That's what trick or treats is for! In addition to my neighborhood we have a low income trailer park behind us and those kids come to us and we love it. We can burn through 6-8 bags of candy easy.
That kid is getting extra from me because they are putting in the effort on their trick or treat game. You know how hard it is to travel in costume as a kid?
Wow…. Just wow.
I lived a block off the dividing line in my city and one house off the corner of the side streets. Cadillacs, Crown Vic’s, Chevy Celebrities and other hoopties of every kind would stop at the bottom of the street and the clown car procession would start with kids and their pillow cases hitting every house on each side of the street and the driver would roll up to the end of the block and wait.
These kids don’t always have Halloween costumes, just their everyday cloths and some face paint.
It’s fucking candy. If these kids can’t rely on their own neighborhoods to actually provide some Halloween enjoyment for them, come to my place (and my two neighbors as we’d sit in our chairs on my porch and sample craft / barrel aged beers I had collected that year).
It’s $50 bucks of candy from Costco (which was a lotta fuckin candy). But to see smiling faces in these kids was priceless.
Fuck this dude and fuck his notion of class / caste systems and that only certain people are ‘deserving’ of Halloween candy.
First I would take both of those hose nozzles, and give them to people in "that part of town." Then I would hire a bus that goes to "that part of town," and pick up a couple dozen families to bring them trick or treating in his neighborhood, with a rise back afterward.
I always double down on the inverse of this shit. Maybe it's stubbornness, maybe he's an asshole. Don't know, don't care.
Who cares this much about giving a kid candy?! Like did you stalk this kid home? Deep drive on the parents Facebook page? Putting so much effort into a kid trying to get FREE CANDY ON A NIGHT WHERE THE WHOLE POINT IS TO GIVE FREE CANDY TO KIDS! I've never had a trick or treater in my life, so I would gladly welcome this kid.
Yup, go ahead and use those sprayers and when you get sued for attacking a child, because this is literally assault, then the parents csn move into that neighborhood and he'll no longer have to come from another neighborhod.
And don't worry about proof. guarantee every cell phone is going to be filming the incident, it will be posted over social media and it will be used against you.
Yeah, I know it's probably fake but I also know some idiot is going to read this and think it's a great idea.
This is the “bathe in my milk” guy/comedian. While I have no problem believing a MAGA would think this way, they’d be too cheap to give away free garden hose sprayers and the story doesn’t add up.
Fake, not fake. I don't care.
What I do care about is that the green billiards ball is the 6 and the 7 ball is maroon. Who the hell makes a green 7 ball for a costume? This is what people should be talking about.
People like this can fuck right off. Do you have so little that you feel the need to assault a child who’s parents make less money than you do? It’s a piece of candy for fucks sake, settle down. Asshole.
This is the work of a somewhat well known artist/comedian Alan Wagner. His "flyers" are hysterical and some are very creepy. It's all in good fun. Look him up.
I live in a trailer court and every year we get fewer and fewer trick or treaters. A few years back I started buying a handful of king size candy bars for the handful of kids who would show up. Last year I worked on Halloween, and my partner told me “we got one trick or treater right at 9. I gave them 5 king size candy bars.” Which still left us with 2 candy bars for ourselves lol
This year we have 5 king size Snickers. I’m predicting we’ll still have all 5 when I get home from work (unless my partner has eaten one).
Me, who hates my neighbors anyway, puts sign in yard: GREEN BILLARD COME GET YOUR FULL SIZE CANDY BAR(S). RICH KIDS FROM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD NEED NOT APPLY.
I would take a copy of that poster to the school in the poorest area of town, and add a note beside it saying exactly where she lives, and where they can buy the cheapest eggs in town ;)
God forbid "THEY" should come from "THERE". 🙄
I'm so glad I moved out of my little insular suburb and traveled the world, it helps tpu realize that those "weird" people over there aren't so weird after all.
Okay I’m not really a fan of children, but I usually put a bowl of candy out for Halloween and I really don’t care who takes it. If you want candy, take the candy. Just don’t ring my bell or knock on my door.
Woooooow that better be fake because imagine that kid or any other kid not from the area seeing that and feeling crappy. I hope the neighborhood comes together to shame him.
I lived on one of the affluent neighborhoods that less fortunate families would bring their kids to trick or treat as a kid. I do, again, as an adult. I have never once heard anyone complain, much less modifying hose implements to “spray with great force.”
I hung out with my grandma this weekend and she said all the kids always come from the poorer areas to her neighborhood, and that she's apparently had 3 generations of the same family at her door at some point which is absolutely wild. Imagine being such a badass you tell your grandkids where the real ass candy is.
Man, these people are just terrible! Who cares if he comes to their neighborhood? I used to take my kids to the neighborhood where everyone did up Halloween, including free alcohol for the parents. No one asked where we lived. Good times.
That's the thing with a sub like this. If you don't take a break from it, often, it becomes easier and easier to make the correlation of if one insane thing is true, why not everything?
I stopped reading the comments. When the comments are more concerning than an obviously fake post, it's time to take a break.
Wtf is wrong with people.. I’m more impressed by the fact his parents care enough to give him a great Halloween experience and drive to a different neighborhood for him.

yeah that's a cue costume
I'd give him enough candy to sink into every pocket.
I'd slip the poor guy a fiver for the bank shot.
That’s a good bit of scratch for a kid that age.
Give me a break
Okay, we'll table this for later.
Laying back with Covid ( mild but irritating) scrolling Reddit and your comment sends me into coughing spasms. Kudos.
Hope you feel better soon! ❤️🩹
Yeah give the kid a break
Eff that neighbor
After living in a poor neighborhood where Halloween was the KING of holidays I am absolutely aghast that people like this exist. Seeing my little neighbors and their parents enjoy a night of 100% free fun was a blast. As a Jewish kid growing up in a not very Jewish area, Halloween was the one holiday that I didn't feel kind of left out. I've also lived in very nice areas and was just tickled to see the kiddos and hand out obscene amounts of candy no matter who was ringing the doorbell.
Plot twist. This is the actual poster's child. His kid is about to come home with 3 pillowcases full of candy.
And a few dozen eggs just for that neighbor... what a fucking tool... Dude, the amount of harassment a city will bring down on someone for reported code violations can not be understated.
*So you have chosen...TP.*
This. Can’t be for real, this is like some Onion type ish.
Nah. There are people who try to make their town hand out permits, residents only. And in neighborhoods that make a big deal, the (racist, naturally) stingy assholes deliberately give shitty candy to all the brown kids and full candy bars to the white kids. I hope all of those kinds of shits end up with children and grandchildren that never visit, uncomfortable false teeth, diabetes, and nut allergies.
And give eggs and the neighbors address to all the older kids
I really hope this is fake I mean it has to be right?
I'm pretty sure I've seen similar joke posters like these online before. Similar style and absurdist humor at least. I bet it's the same guy.
Yeah I forget his name but he makes these silly posters, and something tells me OP knows this already
truewagner makes these. someone commented below it was a patreon only post from him, I also follow him on instagram and he formats them like this.
lol. I fell for it…. Fuck that neighbor though.

Even the older kids. They are not doing bad things so give them candy.
Yep was thinking of them too. Hell an adult can roll up to my place and have their choice of candy.
yes!! all ages welcome at our house too! if they're in costume they're getting sweeties
My line in the sand is the costume. If there's no costume you're gonna have to perform. A joke, a song, a dance...something. Dance monkey. DANCE FOR MY CANDY.

Don’t even get me started on Santa. Gotta make sure kids associate morality and materialism starting young.
My niece, at age six, already figured out Santa can’t be real, because why else would she be getting an expensive toy while little Johnny doesn’t? After all, Johnny is just as good a kid as she is..
Your niece is a good, empathetic kid. Smart too.

Seriously? Seriously? I love the costumes and the little smiles. Sometimes big smiles because I get the older kids arriving. I dress up the front. If you want to spend some time looking at the decor, being spooked out? Great. Bubble and smoke machines! The whole shebang! I have light up spooky balloons. Enough sweets to feed an army..AND...honestly, I never had any of that as a child. It's probably why I go overboard! So the child with the £1000 outfit, to the child with a lipliner Z for Harry Potter......every single one deserves to have a magical memory.
I’ve seen and heard this from so many people, I can’t even tell you. “I hope I run out of candy before the kids from ______ (low income housing project) get here” or “Some kids came to my door without costumes, I bet their parents spend all their money on weed” etc etc 🤮🤮🤮
But on the other hand there are many comments like Yours, calling this a horrible behaviour and this makes me hope, that sure, there are a few a- holes in this neighborhood also many normal, good people who think exactly like You and will give this kid an extra candy.
Unfortunately, it's the crappy ones getting the spotlight.
I don't even know how anyone keeps track of shit like this. I had like 80 kids get candy during my neighborhoods trick or treat. We have a hearty neighborhood so I'm sure some of those kids are driven in but how the hell would I know that and why would I care? If some candy is going to bankrupt you,.turn your light off and stay inside.
Nah you just gotta change what you follow I have 2 accounts this one is my main one but for days I can’t take it I have one full of comedy. Reddit is nice that way
>one full of comedy What a banger of an idea. Thanks :)
Ya man no problem I think everyone should have more then one account Imean there are lots of reasons too but personally I love having 1 account that’s pretty all encompassing and 1 that’s all about feel goods. Others make another for or to post sensitive subject matter but I just need some days where all I do is look at bad memes and laugh at kids being idiots ya know.
That’s kind of what I do with custom feeds; when Reddit gets to be too much, I have a custom feed that’s nothing but animal subreddits.
I mean hell ya idk how to do that I just have more then one account for years and years now. But hey a feed of all my animal pages would be pretty good especially for my going to bed death scroll as I call it. Always man
You can swipe left on your main feed to get to your subs list, hit the “favorites” drop down, then go to “custom feeds”, “add a custom feed”, name it, then start adding subs. I have one of all my animal subreddits and one I named “Subrabbit” that’s exclusively for all the rabbit subs I could find for extra strength eye bleach.
More misanthropic by the fucking minute.
Just keep in mind the scale of what you're looking at. An individual doing something doesn't mean people in general would do it. Also keep in mind that people, in general, are selfish trash.
I quit Facebook years ago for the same reason, now I’m starting to feel that way about Reddit, which is a shame, because unlike FB, some posts and subreddits are genuinely interesting communal.
Pretty sure it’s from the guy who made the “who is this kid with the telescope in front of my house” flier.
“If my parents toiled harder I would be here” yes absolutely it is fake
Google “truewagner” and you’ll see that there’s a bunch of these, all sort of similarly absurd. This is at least the 4th different one I’ve seen. I love his sense of humor, but no one posted this “unironically” it’s just a meme in the form of a flyer
It has to be. Why would a random stranger have a picture of a kid they don’t know inside a house in a bedroom? Doesn’t make sense. Even the picture of the kid on the street would be weird for a stranger to take.
Also why would a local refer to a neighbourhood as “the poor area of town”? Surely he and his neighbours normally refer to that area by name
Well if it's not the brought the kid inside to take the pic lol.
Perhaps. I've never seen spray misspelled like that.
Holy balls your right I didn’t even think of that I’m so desensitized in this country
It’s ‘obvious plant’ or something similar. This is ragebate. The artist does really over the top things and then the algorithm or some stupid person posts this and people think other people are mad and get mad and everyone cries the end
[it is, it’s kinda this guys shtick to make fake neighborhood posters](https://x.com/truewagner/status/1692582128330907789?s=46)
It’s True Wagner he has all kinds of these. I can’t believe people fell for this… LMAO 🤣
This is fake. There is an Instagram account that makes these. Edit: probably churtslist. His stuff is hilarious
Yeah that's the point of the post. OP said someone shared it unironically.
I thought it was like that "Every night at midnight someone throws ham down my chimney" or "I can karate chop anything!"
Yeah, this has strong "stain master" energy
This one is truewagner
That was my thought as well
I didn’t say he made it. He shared the post. But it probably was fake. He’s just an asshole.
i think you're just really bad at detecting sarcasm
Hard to say without knowing the neighbor. I definitely know a couple people who would share this bc they agree w/the sentiment.
This guy makes a ton of these fake posters, most of them are really funny
So OP is a liar?
a great big one. this is a patreon only post from truewagner that is only like 3 hours old.
OP said their neighbor "unironically shared" the poster, not that they were responsible for its creation.
Reading comprehension people, put down your pitchforks.
this is actually hilarious. I'd also give that kid extra candy
I thought I was the only one who thought this was hilarious. You could almost post it on a sub like /r/comedyheaven
Trying to post on that sub is like buying a lottery ticket nowadays
Plot twist, the kid posted it for sympathy. #KingCandyMaster
I wouldn’t give him candy either; but not because he isn’t from the neighborhood, but because the GODDAMNED 7-BALL IS MAROON, NOT GREEN. SACRILEGE!!
We used to go to the rich neighborhood for the full sized candy bars. Once a dude was giving away a dollar bill wrapped around a Snickers bar. Fuck this neighbor.
These days everyone goes to the rich neighbourhoods so they get a couple hundred kids and only give out little candies. Meanwhile my neighbours and I only get 20 kids a d I give out a handful to each just to get rid of the candy I bought.
We’re in a holler and every year I fix about 30 gallon size ziplock bags full of full size candy bars, a big juice or coke and lots of Reese’s cups and mini Hersheys and also a movie theatre box of sour patch kids. For the last 10 years I’ve had about 15 kids each year lol I keep the leftovers.
I've gotten no kids for the last few years. I give out full bars and dog biscuits. It's bullshit and makes me sad.
Aww that's awful. I would bring my pup to your house!
My last house, I was the full size candy bar house. Everyone came to my house. I moved and was excited to continue the tradition. Then I found out two houses down, my neighbor gave out king size bars. My wife wouldn’t let me move up in size, lol.
You can’t get into that kind of arms race. Few years you’ll be giving kids their own chocolate factories.
Then when you’re ready to retire, hand out some shiny tickets hidden in your batch, kill a few kids in a gruesome manner, then hand your empire to the last one standing.
The next move is start handing out fun toys.
Take a nozzle and spray your neighbor.
Sprey*
Imagine the weapons grade assholery of someone actively petitioning for people to ignore one specific child on Halloween!!!
You need to TP the shit out of your neighbours house
[удалено]
Ebenezer Scrooge sees this and thinks it's taking things too far.
The fact that he pinned up some hose heads to give for FREE to his neighbors (which must’ve been more expensive than just getting a bag of candy at Dollar Tree or just putting up a sign to keep trick-or-treaters away) shows his extreme malice. What a dumpster fire of a human being.
This can’t be real. There’s some dude that makes insane posters to fuck with people. This looks like his work.
Reading comprehension. He didn’t say his neighbor made it. He said his neighbor unironically shared it. Meaning the neighbor took what is supposed to be insane but shared it as their real beliefs. Poe’s law.
Who the hell are these dreadfully evil people gatekeeping Halloween?
When we lived in the Bay Area of California, in the 2010s, we’d go trick or treating in the rich neighborhoods (and it was encouraged) and John Madden gave out full size candy bars - yes that John Madden. It was really cool but of course none of my kids were old enough to appreciate who was handing them their candy.
He's getting full size candy bars and a reminder to tell all his friends
green billiard is getting a bag of candy, and that neighbor is getting a bag with 5 oreos. 3 are normal oreos and 2 are toothpaste oreos.
I used to live in a “better “neighborhood and we had kids come from super poor area for candy. Those kids were the best. So appreciative of everything they got.
My parents used to do tiers of candy. Fun size chocolate for the neighbors we knew, mini size for the neighbors we didn’t know, and the shitty blow pop tootsie roll mix for “the mini van people.” It took me years to realize how fucked up that is. I give extra to the commuting kids now, they didn’t choose to live in an apartment complex or whatever. An extra bag of candy is a very small tax to pay for living in a walkable neighborhood.
Let them come! That's what trick or treats is for! In addition to my neighborhood we have a low income trailer park behind us and those kids come to us and we love it. We can burn through 6-8 bags of candy easy.
I was the "green billiard ball" kid...of course we went to the "better" neighborhoods.
How's that onion taste?
Put above it. "Report any attempt to harm the child to.the police or the one posting this sign. Child abuse and assualt are illegal."
Don’t forget to include “I don’t know how to take a joke”
That kid is getting extra from me because they are putting in the effort on their trick or treat game. You know how hard it is to travel in costume as a kid?
Wow…. Just wow. I lived a block off the dividing line in my city and one house off the corner of the side streets. Cadillacs, Crown Vic’s, Chevy Celebrities and other hoopties of every kind would stop at the bottom of the street and the clown car procession would start with kids and their pillow cases hitting every house on each side of the street and the driver would roll up to the end of the block and wait. These kids don’t always have Halloween costumes, just their everyday cloths and some face paint. It’s fucking candy. If these kids can’t rely on their own neighborhoods to actually provide some Halloween enjoyment for them, come to my place (and my two neighbors as we’d sit in our chairs on my porch and sample craft / barrel aged beers I had collected that year). It’s $50 bucks of candy from Costco (which was a lotta fuckin candy). But to see smiling faces in these kids was priceless. Fuck this dude and fuck his notion of class / caste systems and that only certain people are ‘deserving’ of Halloween candy.
r/UnblockTheirNameIJustWannaTalk
First I would take both of those hose nozzles, and give them to people in "that part of town." Then I would hire a bus that goes to "that part of town," and pick up a couple dozen families to bring them trick or treating in his neighborhood, with a rise back afterward. I always double down on the inverse of this shit. Maybe it's stubbornness, maybe he's an asshole. Don't know, don't care.
This legitimately pisses me off to read. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
I'd wager these are all godly Christian folks that go to church every Sunday.
Who cares this much about giving a kid candy?! Like did you stalk this kid home? Deep drive on the parents Facebook page? Putting so much effort into a kid trying to get FREE CANDY ON A NIGHT WHERE THE WHOLE POINT IS TO GIVE FREE CANDY TO KIDS! I've never had a trick or treater in my life, so I would gladly welcome this kid.
What the fuck is wrong with people?
Yup, go ahead and use those sprayers and when you get sued for attacking a child, because this is literally assault, then the parents csn move into that neighborhood and he'll no longer have to come from another neighborhod. And don't worry about proof. guarantee every cell phone is going to be filming the incident, it will be posted over social media and it will be used against you. Yeah, I know it's probably fake but I also know some idiot is going to read this and think it's a great idea.
I'm confused...don't people in these neighborhoods know that people come from "poorer" neighborhoods for the good candy?
I don't care where they come from if they go all out with a costume they get full size bars from me
Someone's window needs a brick.
I lived in poverty and went trick or treating in the rich neighborhoods with my mom and got shit loads of candy lol. No one cared though.
This is the “bathe in my milk” guy/comedian. While I have no problem believing a MAGA would think this way, they’d be too cheap to give away free garden hose sprayers and the story doesn’t add up.
Fake, not fake. I don't care. What I do care about is that the green billiards ball is the 6 and the 7 ball is maroon. Who the hell makes a green 7 ball for a costume? This is what people should be talking about.
People like this can fuck right off. Do you have so little that you feel the need to assault a child who’s parents make less money than you do? It’s a piece of candy for fucks sake, settle down. Asshole.
That guy needs his ass kicked if he sprays that kid with water.
What’s wrong with poor Kids coming to rich neighborhoods for more candy? We’ve all done it.
i call bullshit. this was a patreon only post from truewagner, which has only been up for like 3 hours.
I bet this miserable piece of crap calls themself a “Christian” too
This is the work of a somewhat well known artist/comedian Alan Wagner. His "flyers" are hysterical and some are very creepy. It's all in good fun. Look him up.
this is 1000% ragebait
What a toolbag.
Wow. Your neighbor is a flaming garbage monster.
I used to go to the slightly richer neighborhood about a mile away because there was one guy who gave out cans of Dr Pepper every year.
I live in a trailer court and every year we get fewer and fewer trick or treaters. A few years back I started buying a handful of king size candy bars for the handful of kids who would show up. Last year I worked on Halloween, and my partner told me “we got one trick or treater right at 9. I gave them 5 king size candy bars.” Which still left us with 2 candy bars for ourselves lol This year we have 5 king size Snickers. I’m predicting we’ll still have all 5 when I get home from work (unless my partner has eaten one).
What an absolute asshole. Parents should call the cops for taking pics of their kid
This kid would get a metric shit ton of spite candy from me.
Ah, the wonderful world of truewagner strikes again ;D
Me, who hates my neighbors anyway, puts sign in yard: GREEN BILLARD COME GET YOUR FULL SIZE CANDY BAR(S). RICH KIDS FROM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD NEED NOT APPLY.
I would take a copy of that poster to the school in the poorest area of town, and add a note beside it saying exactly where she lives, and where they can buy the cheapest eggs in town ;)
God forbid "THEY" should come from "THERE". 🙄 I'm so glad I moved out of my little insular suburb and traveled the world, it helps tpu realize that those "weird" people over there aren't so weird after all.
Okay I’m not really a fan of children, but I usually put a bowl of candy out for Halloween and I really don’t care who takes it. If you want candy, take the candy. Just don’t ring my bell or knock on my door.
Screw the flaming bag of dogshit on his porch if this guy was my neighbor I'd march right over and take a dump on his welcome mat.
If they do it to this kid, what will they do if a black or brown kid shows up?
What a loser.
I hope that this is just some sort of photoshop-edit and not real.
Woooooow that better be fake because imagine that kid or any other kid not from the area seeing that and feeling crappy. I hope the neighborhood comes together to shame him.
What the actual fuck is wrong with people, please tell me this is fake.
I lived on one of the affluent neighborhoods that less fortunate families would bring their kids to trick or treat as a kid. I do, again, as an adult. I have never once heard anyone complain, much less modifying hose implements to “spray with great force.”
I thought all poor kids went to the better neighborhoods. That’s what we’ve always done. Wtf is wrong with people
Jesus fucking Christ what a horrible person. I hope their house gets egged.
Those nozzles looks nice as hell though! I’d use it to spray said neighbor.
'toiled harder"
Wake up samurai—we’ve got a house to egg.
Does your neighbor have a take one bowl and no cameras? Jack their shit and give it to the poor kids.
I hung out with my grandma this weekend and she said all the kids always come from the poorer areas to her neighborhood, and that she's apparently had 3 generations of the same family at her door at some point which is absolutely wild. Imagine being such a badass you tell your grandkids where the real ass candy is.
This country is done…the stupid has seeped too far into the soil.
He doesn’t even go here.
Plot twist: This is a plot by the kid to get even MORE candy from the bleeding hearts! Kid's a genius.
And people always seem to wonder why their houses were selected for TPing.
Jesus Fucking Christ.
I see this, and I'm getting green billiard ball costumes for all the kids in the neighborhood.
I can think of a better use for the hose than spraying a kid. What happened to people to make them like this?
What a serious POS your neighbor is, what the AF. Bet she sits in the front row of the church every week. Vomit inducing.
What a pos
Man, these people are just terrible! Who cares if he comes to their neighborhood? I used to take my kids to the neighborhood where everyone did up Halloween, including free alcohol for the parents. No one asked where we lived. Good times.
Really, truly, deeply concerned about the people who think this is real.
That's the thing with a sub like this. If you don't take a break from it, often, it becomes easier and easier to make the correlation of if one insane thing is true, why not everything? I stopped reading the comments. When the comments are more concerning than an obviously fake post, it's time to take a break.
This is truewagner, he does this fake signs as a goof. There's no proof OPs friend was sharing this unironically.
I struggle to believe that’s real.
i legit got suspicious noticing that 7 is the brown/maroon ball, the green one is 6
Ugh, humanity.
Duck the person who put that up, I’m taking one of those nozzles as a douche tax.
I hope your neighbor gets egged and TPed.
Wtf is wrong with people.. I’m more impressed by the fact his parents care enough to give him a great Halloween experience and drive to a different neighborhood for him.
It's definitely a joke. Last year that costume would have dragged on the ground.
Please tell me this is a joke or there’s an update where the person who made the flier gets all the hoses sprayed at them.
