I handed out raisins and pencils *for Halloween one year to avoid buying (having candy) in the house ... another year I bought candy I hated so I wouldn't eat it.

This is funny because most people think I'm a very sweet, shy person when in reality I am a fiery inferno of rage held together loosely with caffeine and death metal.
Oh, that's a great description! This exactly describes my youngest son as well. I may have to steal this from you! (and I'd try to put a stop to the "honey" business; that IS condescending)
I just go...did you just call me honey? I literally did this the other day on a conference call. A guy called the women on the call girls and I stopped the call and called him out. I do this when people flush the toilet on calls too.0 -

No tricks, but one kid saw the box of raisins being handed to him and had this "oh no" look on his face then said "Raisins, really?" He was fairly young.0 -

I made choc chip and bacon cookies once, and a vegetarian ate one. I felt really bad because everyone in my area knew they had bacon but I didn't really think what would happen if someone from another area wandered over, and it's pretty fair to assume that a cookie would be bacon free. Now I put post-its on my goodies so people know what they're in for.0 -

My son wants to be a "Superhero Butterfly." I'm thinking of introducing him to Tick and seeing if he's interested in going as Arthur, but that's a rather adult-themed comic for a 4-year old. We might be creating a brand new superhero for him.0 -

There's always Killer Moth?

I think they'd probably get over it pretty quick if there wasn't enough for them to even notice, though I still think it's kind of a dick move for vegos (no judgement - we all make dick moves). I was also thinking of those who avoid it for religious reasons. In their eyes, they've now sinned through now fault of their own, and have no way to atone for it because they are completely unaware. Now you're sending people to hell. I think we need to take a step back and re-evaluate our actions when we're condemning people to eternal damnation.0 -
My family just doesn't buy candy to hand out to kids. Anything Halloween related I buy is for myself or someone I know.I handed out raisins and pencils *for Halloween one year to avoid buying (having candy) in the house ... another year I bought candy I hated so I wouldn't eat it.

I find it worse when I'm the only female in the room, which is not unusual in my industry, and someone uses something like 'boys', I call them out every time.0 -

But it turns out a woman I used to work with who is the same age and has a similar resume as me for the first part of her career, but then went on to be way more successful, is on the cover and there's this great puff piece about her with lots of people I know and respect quoted with anecdotes about how amazing she is. I like this woman, and she deserves it, and I'm generally happy with my career and life (and not that ambitious most of the time, as demonstrated by the fact I'm screwing around here), but I'm currently jealous and kicking myself for being a lazy slug who consistently stepped on my own feet and squandered all my opportunities to be extremely impressive and successful like her.
It's stupid, and I know I have amazing good fortune and should just count my blessings and will get over it soon, but I want to go home and cry. (I'm going to go lift weights instead.)
I ended up with an assortment of proteges last time I came back from overseas, two of whom were a married couple. I helped one of them get his first post-college job at a big company I used to work for (and now work at as a contractor) and I've helped another one of them as she went through college, started interviewing for jobs and started her career.
The dude started out at a higher pay grade and making more money than I did (I'm 18 years older than he is). The woman is on her third job in two years out of college and is pretty close to me now in terms of salary.
On the one hand, mentor win for me big time. On the other hand, they did in about 3 years each what it took me 25 years to do. I'm done mentoring these two. Time to start taking career advice from them.0 -
Because I've always been pretty good at maths I always get the job of bill splitter. People tip what I decide they're tipping... [/quote]
Me too. And usually I pay the most. Because I am the one drinking the most (why does alcohol cost so much more than food????).

God no. I hate Halloween. You never plan right. End up with too much candy you need to get rid of. Or show up at a party where you look like an idiot. All of which I had done.0 -

I accidentally ate a 'vegetarian fajita' at a chilies once. The didn't wash the pan between orders. I was up all night with 'the runs'. I make sure now they use a fresh pan. TMI but it was nasty.0 -
