Halloween - Am I a grinch?

[honeychile]

When I was first married, we lived in a high-traffic area for trick or treaters. I don't believe in Halloween, so I had the lights out, and worked on something else (Ex always had to work the few hours of Halloween). Most of the kids understood that a porchlight turned off meant keep going.

But not one group! This little pack of teens banged on the door with serious verocity, and two of them yelled (non-simultaneously) "Open up the f***ing door! It's f***ing trick or treat!" I felt like throwing cans of soup at them!

So, in a phrase, no, you're not a grinch at all!
