My Neighbors Ruined Halloween

[Amethyst Rose]

I'm pouting. Big time. My hubby is sick of hearing me complain, so that's why I'm doing it here.
Maybe I'm being childish...it's completely possible, I fully admit to being childish in the past.....

So here's what's happened.

Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. It always has been. All my life I've been the one decorating and making the house scary and carving pumpkins and going all out for it.
Well, I live in a duplex and I have new neighbors. It's bad enough that they're 3 year old is always screaming bloody murder, and that they're always screaming right back at him...or each other.....
We share an entryway (it's a side by side duplex). I had big plans to put spider webbing and spiders, and my black velvet altar cloth on a table with black candles and a cauldron bubbling over with dry ice, and of course a jack o lantern....I was even going to put a red light out to add to the mood of it all....
I was going to do this all this weekend..... except I came home on Monday and there's spider webbing all strung out across the entryway.
No problem, I think, I can still put out the table and candles and pumpkin. Tuesday, I come home from work and they have a table with a black cloth out, with pumpkins on it.
Now I was getting mad, but I put it behind me. That's okay, I thought, I still have the colored light bulb.
What do I come home to today??!! They put a #$%*% colored lightbulb up!
Now I have nothing to decorate. They took away my favorite part!!
So I'm mad. And pouting. And I want to make a spell so my neighbors move. Is it childish? Probably. But I'm too busy pouting to care.

Too bad you couldn't change them into toadstools ;) hehehe :D

Uhm why don't you just ask them if you can help them decorate, or just put more pumpkins and webbing and lights up. :)

[Amethyst Rose]

Honestly, cuz there just isn't more room, they've done everything possible and taken up every little bit of decorative space. I've considered asking them to take their table down so I can put up my own..... but I'm just not confrontational enough I guess.

See? I'm being childish. I know it.

No no, if you want to be childish you should beat them with their pumpkin. Now that's childish (but fun!!!!)

Why don't you try to decorate the outside of your house a bit...with some pumpkins, and some webbing strung in the bushes/trees. And do up your windows with the lights??? I'm sure you can come up with a plan. And personally, I'd be happy if my neighbors did any thing for the seasons:) yes..decorating is fun. But to me, it just brings me joy to see other people getting into the spirit, too, and to see the festive decorations at all :)

is throwing pumpkin guts at each other! and childish. Seems they or you would've asked the other about such things before doing them.

Ask if they mind if you put out your cauldron like you wanted to do in the first place.

then throw the pumpking guts. :boing:

[emraldshadowcat]

I agree with Flar7. See if you can put your cauldron out there!

Yup, childish.

I pity this hubby of yours!

You can still put out the cauldron with the dry ice. Did you tell your neigbours what you were planning to do?

Psst! The pumpkins could "accidently" roll out onto the street.)

Hee hee true, dat. I can't put a pumpkin outside because it only takes 2 days for the racoon to find it and then munch munch munch no more pumpkin!

I'm over it now. Mostly. :)

I will be decorating the inside of my house, and carving pumpkins and such. That'll be enough for me.

Thanks everyone for listening to me rant, (or whine, really). You were right about it being good to see everyone else in the spirit.... that's what matters.

Yes! Yes! that is more fun..I once threw a pumpkin at my neighbor...he woke me up...again...because he was running down the stairs screaming at 3:00 am...again!!! I was so sick of it...I jumped up...in my t-shirt and undies...grabbed my pumkin of the table...opened the door and threw it at him...I missed of course because he was already down the stairs...but I felt better!!!
