As someone who lives a “poorer” neighborhood who trick or treated in a wealthier neighborhood, we went to avoid any violence not for the candy. Most of the candy was actually worse in this neighborhoods. So her asking for them to change the candy is way to big of an ask if she is going for the candy then she should go to a harvest fest they have candy galore. And it’s only 5 dollars to get in along with parking :)
Our neighborhood gladly welcomed outsiders, understanding it was safer than others...wed however not take kindly to that choosing begger
How are people that entitled 😱😫
...
Glad you found a safe spot for Halloween tho
Yeah, but then they would have to pay. We all know they don't want to pay. ;)
Yeah when I was a kid growing up in Philly we covered our own working class neighborhood first. Then walked about 1/2 mile to a wealthier area which had many fewer kids living in it, I think. We were just trying to maximize our can hauls. We weren't concerned about crime unless you count watching out for teenagers who might try to snatch your candy. 🤬 One of the reasons we went as a small group (6 -8 kids). Even when we got stuff we didn't love, we just traded with other kids. I can't imagine my parents griping about the quality, quantity or variety of FREE candy folks were offering. 🤣
There’s also people who live in the countryside and have no neighbors so they drive into town.
We lived in the middle-class neighborhoods for my entire life and the truck-or-treating nights seemed like they summoned several dozen more children than who actually live there. Didn’t have a problem tbh I got to see more costumes and friends. I honestly welcome them bc I knew that all the neighborhoods nearby were not as well off as our area. Safety and security over free stuff tbh
PSA: Nobody owes you Halloween candy, good, bad or indifferent.
Yep, anyone can choose trick any time they choose.
In all the years I’ve gone to parades, I’ve NEVER seen anyone hand out full size candy bars! It was always lollipops, bubble gum, or candy canes if it’s a Santa Claus parade. I’d like to know where that person lives!
I was thinking the same thing! But then again I was thinking MAYBE the Macy Day Parade on at Disney or some big ass parade like that, might be the ones that pass the big candy bars out.. idk I've never been to those parades 😂
@@cringeworthy2040 I've seen several Disney parades at Disney World and I've NEVER seen them hand out candy. Maybe during Halloween and Christmas, but other than that...never.
@@cringeworthy2040
I've never gotten them at Macy's
i've never seen a parade give out anything let alone candy.
As someone who lives in the Midwest no, it’s not normal
I don’t understand how people don’t know how expensive it would be to hand out big candy bars.
Especially in these times.
Oh, they definitely understand, they just don't care as long as its not them paying.
Why would you want chocolate that is going to melt?!?! I hate when my kids get chocolate. We don’t pick them up when tossed.
This was about the parade candy not the Halloween one, I hadn’t listened to that one yet. Oops!
@@andreamccollum3285i was about to be furious that you were tossing halloween chocolate, but then i saw that you meant at parades lol. Thats a fair point!
Rslash: "sorry if I'm a bit hoarse"
Me, a new dad: Neigh
Too early to roll my eyes that hard
Congratulations on being a new dad 😁
Yes, you definitely have the 'dad jokes' ready for your unfortunate child. 😛
sir, you are incredibly well prepared to be a dad
Sleep it off. It’s pasture bedtime
First story. Technically, Ice Cube's are a candy. They are an absolutely delicious(and a little expensive) German chocolate. Maybe they were handing these out and the Karen was just too dense to realize that beneath the wrapper was a succulent treat and not, you know, frozen water? Otherwise I got nothin' on that one lol
They ARE delicious! A craft supplies store I used to frequent (until moving to a different area) had a big bucket of them at all the cash registers. I always added a couple to my purchases!
@@kristashafer93098 Same though my supplier was the local Plaid Pantry(a convenience store).
Lmao thank God. I remember Ice Cubes from my childhood; for a moment there I thought the Karen was talking about ACTUAL ice cubes.
5th Story: As an Aussie who lived really really close to the poverty line with other people in a similar situation, absolutely. There's so many people who'll do this. Collect cans so they can recycle them for the 10c, fix up old furniture, buy things cheap and then flip em for a profit, etc. People on the poverty line can get really creative about how they make a few extra bucks. Teaches you a lot of good lessons, but don't be a Karen bout it
Being thrifty is a virtue in mi opinión, and if you don't have cash you can always barter! But you're right, no need to be a Karen about it
Karen:"I own 3 houses and 3 luxurious cars."
Also karen:" 200 is way to expensive for repairs."
I really like how cb or Karen-types just contradict themselves when it comes to money.
Facebook marketplace attracts the very worst. I tried to sell two Gaming keyboards, a mic and rgb headset for $20. Basically giving it away. Somebody wanted me to deliver it to them for $5. Lmao. I had a feeling if I did, the items would appear on Facebook later.
They really don't have money, but when you point it out, they get embarrassed and lie.
@@analyticalchick3064 Thing is, if you tried to pull that off in a store, they would laugh you right on out and also remember your face if you came back thinking you could pull the same trick. But somehow when it comes to people wanting to sell items they own, they have to cater to the people wanting to buy the items? That is just honestly bullcrap.
"You wouldn't be giving it to Rich home but a loving home" yeah you're definitely not rich.
As an artist, stories like the last one always grind my gears. When the artist said that she'd sell the original piece for $100, I was thinking, "yep, that sounds about right for an original art piece" and it is! I can't believe the CB thought that the *original* art piece would cost the same or similar to the print! Wow. And then, when the artist kindly reduces her price to $40 for a custom piece (which is WAY generous), the CB wants *another* discount?! Ugh.
When I got game development. I know a 60 plus old man demanded me to only make it for the NINTENDO Wii. And only paid me ten bucks. Even making the game will cost me in the millions.
"Paint this for me." "Sure, that's around $150." "Free." "No."
That covers a lot of my conversations. I don't bargain, listen to cajoling, or bother with deals like the above. Try for a sixty percent discount and I'll just laugh at you.
@@karlaboerger3619
What?
@@Richard_Nickerson Yes you heard right. This person will make me spend millions and only paid it for 10 bucks. Plus he thinkbit take one day make a video game too.
@@karlaboerger3619
No, you misunderstand: you aren't making sense.
I didn't ask what because I understood what you said, I obviously asked what because I DIDN'T understand your poorly written comment.
As someone who lives in one of those "richer neighborhoods" I'm all for the kids coming for our candy bars. All I ask is that they try with the costumes. A couple times there were kids with some pretty cool homemade costumes. They got an extra. Typically those kinds of areas are mostly older people, not a lot of our own kids to give candy to.
Same here, I was handing out candy and there were so many kids with no costumes. That’s just weird.
I always loved trick or treating and making elaborate costumes, but I never had any neighbors so I would often go with a friend, I loved getting complements on my costumes
Tbh with all the candy that the first Karen brags about her kids eating during the year (free too) I suspect they might not exactly be harmed by slurping an icecube or two instead.. xD
I think she's talking about the chocolates. They're little chocolates wrapped in golden foil that kinda melt in your mouth.
My thought was it was probably a popsicle which is nice to have on a hot day.
Why would you want chocolate that is going to melt?!?! Yuck!
I thought she was talking about the Ice Cubes minty chewing gum, tbh.
Story 4: We used to get slammed on Halloween, and I would see car-loads of kids get dropped off. It's not just going to 'rich' neighborhoods (which we are not) but it's sometimes about going to a safer neighborhood. Bi*ching about the candy is just crass. It's free and the kids just want sugar. That parent is probably stealing the large bars from their kids. *smh* -- hope you feel better soon!
I’m pretty sure the ice cubes in the first story are referring to that brand of gum but i might be wrong
That's what I was thinking, too
First Story: I was at a parade where one of the floats was advertising their novelty ice cube molds by handing out ice cubes in cartoon, starwars and skull&bone shapes to kids. It's not candy but the kids loved it.
First Story: Bro, imagine being upset over not having enough candy. This Karen lucky she and her kids didn’t get nothing at all. It's a parade, not Halloween. However, the ice cubes is a bit...weird
Second Story and comment: This man needs to be grateful that someone got him food and shouldn’t be complaining. Ugh, I can’t stand people who leave messes.
Comment: "not up to their high standards" bro its free food, why is this guy even complaining? I would’ve said the same thing to the photographer
Third Story: Imagine trying to control parking. Good luck with that. Also, u know if a Karen post on Facebook u know its about to be horrible
Fourth Story: I can’t stand people who waste the time of others. Like OP is telling this person exactly what they say: move on, don’t buy it. This choosing beggar claims they own 3 townhouse and 3 lexus but can’t afford something for $200 lmaoooo
Fifth Story: I mean I would charge that amount for the original. Like what's wrong with having a print of the original? Greedy? How is it OP's fault that this choosing beggar is broke? Didn’t she even propose $30?
It is. I haven't been to a parade in years, but I do remember the ones I went to only handed/tossed out candy. Never ice.
Ice cubes are type of chocolate candy. I think Karen means that.
I absolutely love eating ice, but I hate mint chocolate! I hate it with a passion
@@jofip9199not going to lie same. I don’t like mint chocolate
Maybe the float was an ice company and though it would be a novel idea?
*First OP:* Imagine being angry at a parades because the candy the people on the floats toss out aren’t up to your standards. I do kind of agree with CB about the ice cubes; that was an interesting choice.
Also, shoutout to rSlash for doing the Karen voice while under the weather.
*Second OP:* I don’t know why, but the fact that OP has “pizza” in their handle, but said they worked in a KFC tickled me a little bit.
KFC is owned by PepsiCo..which also owns Taco Bell and Pizza Hut..
I know this because I want a KFC taco..or pizza..or taco Poutine.. or pizza taco ;)
@@cottonbxnnie I thought of those too!
@@lifewuzonceezr
Wtf does that have to do with anything?
@@Richard_Nickerson Did you even read OP's comment?
@@ItBePatYo
Yup, but apparently only the first half.
Last story: lmao, as someone who actually supports artists, we do the opposite! We tip and give compliments to the artist because they spent their time making something
2nd story: earlier this year I had bought a sandwhich combo at the local grocery store which came with a 6 in sub, a bottle of sweet tea and a small bag of chips. I opted to eat in a park 15 min walk. while eating a homeless man asked if I had any spare change. which I didnt. he likely wanted to use it at the nearby 7-11 (a continence store) on other side of the park. But I offered the bag of chips I had as I was saving it for later. He gladly accepted. No cb. he thanked me and enjoyed it
Living in the downtown core I was asked for any and everything..one guy who hung out at the homeless support places made a shirt..NO! I don't have ...smokes..money..drugs..bus tix..etc..genius
But my fav moment was a young couple with backpacking backpacks..asked for change ..i had none but was carrying a Taco Bell 10 tacos for x bucks deal..I offered them 3..happiest response EVER!
Story 1: Full sized candy bars, in this economy?! With the way inflation is right now she should be lucky the kids got anything. 👀;
Story 3: Please see Story 1. 😂
That first Karen should feel lucky there was candy being thrown at that parade at all. I’ve heard that throwing out candy during a parade has actually been outlawed in a lot places
Yeah. Not enough people in the comments are talking about the potential dangers if large sized bars get thrown out in parades.
Here in Spain, you have to insert 1€ so that the shopping cart stops being chained. And when you leave you have to chain it again so that it will give you back your €.
We have one store here in the U.S. that you have to do that. They're kind of a discount grocery store.
@elizabethcox5911 let me guess, it's either Lidl or Aldi
The fifth story: you missed the most important contradiction, Dabne! Early on, she says the furniture wouldn't be going to a rich home, but a good home. Then she proudly proclaims that she has three townhouses and three luxury cars. LOL
That old bag over the furniture. You're right ma'am I should be respectful and helpful to my elders you're right, I'm sorry. Here, here's a list of addresses, phone, and websites to assisted living homes that specialize in dementia.
Story one:I also live in the midwest and used to travel to different parades within my state, but never once have I had ice cubes? It’s also yes, a little entitled to demand candy that the participants of the parade provide from organization that starts it. The parade coordinator doesn’t usually provide the candy. It’s the people in the floats that provide the candy because I used to be in a parade float for my state.
There are actually some chocolate candy known as Ice Cubes (Moritz) made from Germany, and they're pretty tasty. Maybe the first story is referencing them? Not sure.
@@nicksanchez1104 my husband said he’s gotten actual water ice cubes before 🤷♀️
@@StegoBean I honestly never heard of them being served before the first story on this video mentioned so. I guess I learned something today. Perhaps they're meant to keep people hydrated/cool during parade events.
@@nicksanchez1104 i’ve had floats pass out water bottles in ice water but never ice so yea something new for me!
@@StegoBean That's one reason why I like listening to reddit videos.....always learn something new.
UK mum here. Sometimes I don't take the trolley back, only if we park in the parent/child bays (2 girls and pregnant) because it's quite a walk to go to the trolley hut thing with a child or if you're a parent by yourself 🤷🏻♀️ but I will always clean up my mess when we eat out 🤣
Insert a Charlotte Dobre “It costs so much cause it takes me 🦆ing hours” lol
Legitimately have NEVER been to a parade with full sized candy. And most I attend don't even DO candy. Also who hands it out? They usually THROW it XD
I love listening to Rslash before I go into work best way to start my day 🥰 keep up the good work 👍
Same!
You *never* HAVE to park in front of someone else's driveway. It's literally illegal.
I don't understand why, but people VERY often pull over right behind my car in my driveway to do crap like look at their phone or visit the neighbors *even when I'm sitting in my car with it running!*
I have 0 patience for people like this woman.
When I was a kid, if the float was polar/penguin/polar bear themed and a mascot gave me an ice cube, I'd think it's funny
thank you R/slash for another great video! im too lazy to actually read but listening to you in the background of doing something is great, entertainment and background noise my kind of content lol
He has this on Spotify.. but it comes out later than YT..and I have no patience. .also fun reading What they wrote verses what he reads.. I swear he goofs for comments.
Man, that CB would hate coming to my town's annual parade--floats aren't allowed to hand out candy because of safety concerns
I live at the edge of a small city and a lot of families drive in from rural areas to trick or treat. I don't mind them parking on my street. I do mind them blocking driveways and blocking traffic to follow their kids by car instead of walking with them. My neighborhood is far from wealthy.
I have purchased several pieces from artists and am happy to support them. What they do takes creativity and effort.
That first one reminded me of a local parade (just a regular St. Patrick's Day one) where someone dressed in drag was throwing marshmallows into the crowd and I missed. They tried to throw me another one, but my little sister caught it. We all had a good laugh
I worked at a pizza place and we had some construction guys come in and eat one left their mess on the table even though he was right next to a trash can I legit despise customers sometimes
In regards to the first story, Ice Cubes are a brand of chocolate with a high coconut oil content that literally melts in your mouth as a result.
$40 FOR CUSTOM ART IN THE LAST STORY IS SUCH A GOOD DEAL! That artist is already underselling herself. I can't with these choosing beggars.
Story 2 I have something similar: Working at Popeyes as a manager. A homeless lady comes in and just sits down and waits for another comes in and when one does she starts to ask if they can get them something. The customer agreed and got her a meal talking to one of my cashiers while I was in the kitchen. The lady sat down with her meal and didn't touch it, just played with her tablet. About an hour later then woman comes running up to the counter demanding a manager so I come up. She is full on Karen screeching how her food was cold and is demanding a refund. I refused since she waited so long and I knew this was all a ploy from the start to get money. She got even more angry and pulled out her tablet to record saying she is live and how I am treating her this way because I am racist (She is black and I am white). I explained the reason why I will not be giving her a refund and if she continue to cause a scene, then she will have to leave. She refused to leave until I gave her money AND a free hot meal for her trouble so I called the cops. She left before they arrived, but not before making a mess: throwing the trash cans arounds, going into the bathrooms to throw any toilet paper and paper towels she could get a hold of, and throwing our food trays out into the parking lot and told me to go fetch them like the dog I am. That was just one of many stories from working there and why I am glad I am not anymore.
Times when you just want to fling a tray at their noggin...
About the parking in other ppls neighborhood one, my family used to do this, but it was bc we lived WAY out of town, where it would be impractical to trick or treat, bc you'd have to walk around a mile or more in some cases, and THEN walk down long driveways, as most homes weren't in sight of the road. So yeah, we went to town, but I can't even imagine the gall to tell ppl in their neighborhood where to park, and what to give.
Its always nice to have an RSlash video waiting for me when inget home from school at 15:20
Handing out ice cubes is weird. But this CB is crazy. I've never even heard of parades handing out candy.
When I was in my teens I was often in the Santa Claus parade in the city where I grew up. They had people in the parade who would run along side and toss/hand out candy canes along the way. But, that is the only candy I have ever seen handed out in a parade and it was just the little candy canes - the ones that come '100 in a bag' rather than '8 in a box'.
p.s. another comment says that ice cubes might be candies? I googled it and it looks like ice cubes there are what we call icy squares where I live - amazingly good chocolates that I am disgusted someone would have the gall to complain about (OK, I'm disgusted with this choosing beggar anyway but seriously, icy squares are really good chocolates).
Story 1: She sounds “body positive.”😂😂
That's what I was thinking....
There's a reason physical artworks are far more expensive than digital pieces of the same size. You have to factor in the cost of materials and sometimes the shipping costs. And materials are not cheap. Last I checked, 2017ish, the medium grade acrylics were nearly 10 bucks each. At least I think the ones in the tubes were medium grade since they were less than the ones in the much smaller tubes.
First story. My family went to a 4th of July parade. A float handed out ice and bottled water. It was smack in the middle and everyone rushed to it cause it was so danm hot
The ice cubes thing is pretty standard where I grew up in Kansas. If it's really hot (temperatures regularly rise above 90-100F) then people will hand out ice. Heat stroke is super easy to develop, so I do like that people do it.
Ok for both candy stories. Go to the small towns! The smaller the town, the bigger the candy. Especially in my area, the towns of 500 people or less throw the best stuff at parades. Bags of chips, freeze pops straight from the cooler, big pieces of candy, candy bars etc.
Same with Halloween. You want to go where people don't have as many kids coming to their door. We give out full size candy bars because we live in an area without many houses. Maybe 20 kids total come to our house.
I once had a discussion with my doctor who said when they lived in a more rural area, they would give out full size candy bars because less than 30 kids came to their house. But then he moved to a house on a golf course. Fortunately one of his neighbors warned him that parents from out in the country drive their kids in to the "rich neighborhood". That meant each kid only received one fun size candy bar at each house because there were like 400-500 kids coming to each house. If those parents had stuck to the outlying neighborhoods, the kids would have collected twice as much candy going to half as many houses.
Since the lockdown I started actively fallowing small businesses and small artists and it is really disgusting how often they are haggled or insulted for their prices. Like they need to eat and be able to pay for living expenses of course they aren’t going to give free stuff or give a 50% discount to everyone who demands it.
the ice cube float : being that they were not for profit organizations , they are NOT REQUIRED to hand anything out , i have been in a lot of parades , representing my hometown volunteer fire department , and my best friends grandmas ranch , we NEVER tossed anything as the department could not afford it , and when on horseback for my friends ranch no where to have a huge bag of anything on the animal as we had a banner we had to hold . i can understand the ice cubes as its cheaper to hand out ice than candy . though i probably would have bagged the ice , but yes , its because it was so hot they had to hand out ice . some small towns hand out ice water , or cups , or throw filled water balloons , filled with cold water /stored on ice to keep them cold .
Im willing to bet the ice cubes were homemade popsicles.
Growing up my family used to make very simple ones. It was just flavored water, put it in an ice cube tray, put popsicle sticks in each one and pop them in the freezer.
Wow that artist tried way harder than I would've to make something work for her.
I remember my parents taking my brother and I (and sometimes some friends) to one of those big rich neighborhoods growing up. One house that stood out to me all these years later, was someone who was obviously, joyously wasted and laughing, talking to someone over their shoulder inside as they tossed candy into our sacks. It was kind of like a "what did we just witness?" sort of moment. I think there was a moment just like that in an episode of Bob's Burgers, but I witnessed it in real life
But I think my favorite part about going to the rich neighborhood, was all the unique costumes other kids wore were.
With you questioning why somebody would drive elsewhere for Halloween, it is probably about going to a richer neighborhood. However, when you live in the country and only have two neighbors on your entire street, you have to drive elsewhere if you want candy.
Though, I now live in a city, in a neighborhood with lots of kids. I spent too much money on candy just to not get a single Trick-or-Treater. It was disappointing, as I was excited to finally live somewhere I could hand out candy (most of my adult life has been spent in apartment buildings, whereas now I rent a room in an actual house). At least I bought a bunch of candy I liked, and my coworkers were happy to eat the few I didn't like.
My family moved to a new to us area some years ago. As our first Halloween was approaching, a friend told us the area had lots of families with kids so be extra prepared! We got a few of the huge bags of assorted candy, turned on the outside light and I waited with anticipation. I enjoy handing out candy and seeing the kiddos in their costumes. We had maybe 4 or 5 kids. The whole night! Same thing our second Halloween. We stopped doing candy after that and just left the outside light off.
On the Halloween story: All I have to say is that if someone parks in front of my driveway, I'm calling to have them ticketed/ towed. You never know when someone will have a medical emergency and needs to get out. What if a kid has an allergic reaction to candy? What if someone handing it out has a stroke or heart attack?
9:40 Supporting an artist is by paying the price they ask for. And it's not even an expensive price, it's just $40 dollars.
Like, people seriously don't seem to grasp the effort into art
Yep.
I love listening to you while I do my schoolwork Rslash
When she is talking about "Icecubes" she is talking about little chocolates shaped like icecubes. Oh and the name of the chocolate is actually "Icecubes"
That makes much more sense than literal ice cubes. And also make that woman even more of a choosing beggar
For the last story, I cannot stress enough to non-artists that original art pieces are often created with so much love, care, and personal attachment. There is a HUGE difference between making a custom piece to ship out & giving away an original. I've never sold an original piece & I still remember the only piece I gave away that I loved, which I drew back in middle school. Asking an artist for an original, especially one they had not intended to sell, for anything less than $80 is mad disrespectful.
Hope y’all have a amazing Monday!
Monday sucks
I hope you do too thank you
Didn’t have math, so it was pretty good
It took me way longer then I’m willing to admit to figure out that your just in different Timezone to me because I was sure it was Tuesday

"Ice cubes are NOT candy!" Is my new favourite sentence.
For anyone wondering. The float story where she mentioned ice cubes. I think shes talking about the chocolate. Ice cubes can be found grocery stores, but are most commonly found in small town co-ops (like mine!).
They got their name because they are a silky-like chocolate that mind of melts in your mouth (hence the name)
"No one in Australia does mirror furniture that is damaged"
As an Australian I do NOT claim this drongo!
That just got worse... UGH! I'm embarrassed to be sharing a country with that!
When I was a kid I lived in a very interesting set of streets. I lived on the corner of middle class and the rich houses (like no joke every house on the street that I was connected to was huge with elaborate lighting fixtures viablble at the front door), but a 10 minute walk to the next street was a more poor neighborhood with 2 confirmed m3th houses and there was a w33d growing operation (pre legalization) that ended in a house fire. So that street wasn't exactly safe for kid to trick or treat. We all had the understanding that a kid in ANY costume (including home made ones) was whatever that costume was and not the kid from the rick/middle/poor neighborhood and their parents were akin to amusement park attendants for their tiny mascots
I'm 37 and have never received full size candy bars from parades or Halloween.
always love Rslash videos. Much love to the king of the internet for gracing us with his videos on the daily :D
So I own a tow company and we run 3 trucks in about half a dozen parades, I drop $1500 on candy for each event. Every damn year I get at least 1 Karen complaining we don't have enough.
These videos aren't my favorite but I can't help but enjoy all your videos. I listen to them every morning after getting off work. You gotta find more stories about Kevin so you can make more videos about the dumbest people on earth.
Same here, choosing beggars is always my least favorite, but I'm grateful to get any vids. Don't wanna be a choosing beggar, 😂
Big Candy bars & Halloween: When I was a kid (i'm in my mid 40's now) my family was middle class, and as is mostly true now, it's the upper lower class neighborhoods that give out the most candy (I think it's mostly because houses are much closer together and duplexes of some sort). We'd usually go to those neighborhoods because of it. For us it was OK because my family was well known in those areas (my parents were from the lower to upper lower class societies). As for those "Big Candy bars"... In those days when a kid got a full size candy bar and not one of those "fun size" ones is because the house keeps the full size bars for friends of the family and relatives, and any other child gets 1-2 pieces of the fun size ones or some other cheap generic candy. (another thing friends and relatives are known to do is have baggies with home baked goods like cookies, or baggies with several pieces of the smaller candy, usually labeled as there has been scares of poisoned Halloween candy, which turned out to be just special brownies made for/by teens to get high and kids sometimes get a hold of or handed out to accidentally.) My parents also followed us around in the car, and because the haul back in those days were so massive, we each had 2 pillowcases to hold it all. one would be mostly empty so it wasn't heavy going to the houses, the other was kept in the car. There were years that after a few hours of trick or treating we'd each have a full pillowcase. When I was long out of the phase, in the upper-middle class neighborhood i lived in, the straw that broke the camels back is a few years where teens would throw stink bombs into all the houses, and that killed the festivities for everyone as the entire neighborhood would soon go dark (lights turned off) and mostly stopped participated altogether.
"One float even had the audacity to hand out mints."
OH COME ON, I LOVE mints!
We used to go to a different area because lived so far out in the in the middle of no where we had one neighbor within a mile of our house. But it was pretty common for all the kids that lived outside of town to go to town.
5:55
This is also something of tradition
I moved to a “small neighborhood or whatever “
And there’s also just not enough kids there, plus everyone always goes somewhere else. So
Basically
I don’t get to hand out candy to trick or treaters
Basically it’s more complicated than “those places have better candy”
So for the Halloween story, you've actually got it backward with the candy OP. The richer the neighborhood, the shittier the candy they hand out. Those with the most means always give the least in 90% of neighborhoods. I've not once seen a beater appear in a richer neighborhood for candy, but EVERY YEAR I see expensive cars, often Mercedes, park on the corner of my street and let out 4-8 kids and go door to door for candy, then all dive back in and rocket off down the road to go to the next street over. They've even damn near hit kids when they were leaving. When I was a kid, rich neighborhoods gave out expensive candy, but it hasn't been that way, at least not in my city, in almost 20 years.
I really can't imagine anybody handing out real ice cubes like that. I think this karen just overheard her kid talking about the 'ice cubes' they got, maybe trading candy with a friend as all kids do after getting a bunch of candy, and assumed it was real water ice instead of the delicious and kinda expensive chocolate candy called 'Ice Cubes"
We live downtown in a metro area, so our neighborhood is a mix of super rich (I saw Taika Waititi hanging out nearby once) and super poor i.e. our house. But because my landlord loves kids, she goes all out for them! We're easily the most rundown house in the neighborhood, but kids love it.
Choosing beggars are my all time favorite videos you make 😁👏🏼
OMG, I honestly don’t ever remember getting any candy at a local parade, it’s amazing how entitled parents can be.
I love how in the last story, the CB offered to pay $30 for the original print, and then when OP counter offers a CUSTOM PIECE for the same price (all the while trying their best to accomodate the CB's circumstances), the CB calls them greedy. You can't make this crap up smh
6:41 All this over a damaged mirror listed for $200. And yeah, she definitely wanted to sell it for a profit.
Who would believe the townhouses and cars bluff?

When I was little, the rule was always "only knock doors of people you know and that are decorated"
I love that he says “morning zoo”. Reminds me of Opie and Anthony Jocktober
I learned from a friend that one reason why people leave tables with a mess is because they feel like cleaning the tables is a part of the employee's job.
Same with the messy carts.
I never listened to that logic and always clean up after myself. I'd feel guilty otherwise.
first story: ice cubes are a brand of gum that come in tiny little cubes, I imagine thats what theyre talking about because i cant imagine giving out actual ice cubes at a parade
I don't live in a full sized candy bar neighborhood, but my sister does. I always went to her house to give out candy with them. One year I bought full sized Jolly Rancher sticks to give out, watermelon, green apple and cherry. The watermelon and green apple of course went quick and all we had left were cherry. And of course some people complained that cherry was all we had.
The cherry tastes like the apples my parents had..they cut down the tree..so cherry is my favourite
As a Norwegian the first story would have been so absolutely wild and insane had I not visited a parade in Canada and learned that throwing candy to the kids in the crowd is just a normal thing that happens during parades in America. Parades in Norway are usually kids and we would never have anything like that xD
Eh, it kinda depends on the parade. Some give out candy, some don't.
ive seen ice given out due to extreme heat or just to throw into a nearby river that flows fast. at one point I remember being told to 'make a wish' as I threw in my ice. midwest has weird things like this that pop up I think
1st Story. Ice Cubes are definitely weird out of context, but it might be from a Frozen-related float. That would actually make a bit of sense. Hopefully they weren't chucking blocks of Ice at kids
There are other reasons than living in a poorer neighbourhood to go to a different one to trick or treat. As a kid we lived in an area that wasn't poor, but had no sidewalk and far apart houses, people didn't expect trick or treaters because of the lack of sidewalk on a busy street, so we would drive to a neighbourhood where we wouldn't have to worry about being hit by a car to trick or treat
Rslash, the lady complaining about ice cubes, ice cubes is a type of gum in the US.
I went trick or treating on the other side of town one year, but I had friends there. I like in HS and went with kids I babysat/was friendly with. My dad dropped me off then picked me up. I did get a full size bar from Jim Kelley's house, one of his own line of candy bars. He was a big deal quarterback for the Buffalo Bills back in the 90s.
Always amuses me how choosing beggars complain about the person selling stuff as being greedy for wanting a fair price, but never once consider themselves greedy for wanting stuff for free or at unreasonable discounts !!
There was once a guy begging for food outside of a Subway when I was in nursing school so I decided to buy him some food even though I was a broke college student so I go up to order my food and then dude orders a footlong steak sandwich!!!! his ended up being more expensive than mine but I didn't really want to cause a scene and really didn't know what to do so I just kind of paid for it and went on. When I left out I saw him sharing the sandwich with somebody that was like waiting on him across the street so I kind of didn't feel as mad about him ordering a footlong because it looked like it was him and one other person that were eating but still he didn't have to order the steak!!!!!!
It always amazes me how long people let these conversations with choosing beggars run without just blocking them and moving on with their lives. The second someone starts giving me lip in a transaction, I blow them out the airlock and wait for a more reasonable person to come along.
I’ve heard of a story from a friend of mine that her neighbor got a nasty email from some bitch saying her kids complained that the neighbor’s candy was the wrong size and demanded to have bigger size candy bars next time. So, even tho it’s very bad, the neighbor bought a pack of bigger choco bars, took the wrapper off as delicately as possible, then made some granola bars with lots of protein and raisins. She made them as thin as she could, wrapped them up and made them look like how it was packaged. Then when the harpy and kids came around(she knew who it was that emailed her cause of her attitude before) kindly gave them the fake choco bars. The harpy was smug seeing what candy she had and left while giving her a sly comment. She got an email later telling her how awful she was to do that to her babies. It was a very dangerous prank, but it was pretty satisfying
Idk why any floats would hand out ice cubes, they’re in the Midwest and it’s generally never really an overly warm temp there
I think the ice was probably from a Frozen themed float. I've seen footage of something like that. It's not really handed out, more as it's tossed on the ground, unless they're doing snow cones.
First story: ice cubes were always handed out to dogs on hot days at the parades I've attended.
"I want to support artists...not by giving them MONEY though. I'll just give them a pat on the back. That helps them right?"
Oh my God. One time me and my cousin went to a retirement community. We robbed that place. Basically we were the only kids in the entire neighborhood. They were giving out six pack candy bars and full size candies. I had enough candy to last me till like Easter. We came home with like two 40 lb bags of candy. It was ridiculous. Best Halloween ever
What kind of parade gives out full-size candy bars? I need to know where these parades are...
The tricker treater post may live outside of city limits too. Like I live 20-30 minutes from town growing up but we also usually parked at my moms office and walk from there 😂🤷♀️
