A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

This was also my experience, except one person actually told me I was too old to be trick-or-treating. It didn't help that my grim reaper costume was actually scaring the smaller children.
My first year to skip trick-or-treating, I hid in my mom's bushes. When people would walk up to take candy, I'd casually walk out with my hands in a nonchalant "surprise" pose, and I'd say "boo" in the most calm, monotone voice I could muster. People would jump or scream a little, see me approaching them fully deadpan, and scream before running away.
I was asked to stop by some of the neighborhood parents who said it was significantly more terrifying and traumatizing than if I had performed a proper jump-scare.
