This Rich Guy Said He's Annoyed With Poor Kids Trick-Or-Treating In His "Affluent Neighborhood," And People Were Absolutely Disgusted

I'm not sure if there's a Halloween version of a Christmas Scrooge, but I found one. On Reddit, a guy who aptly goes by the username Halloween**** asked the internet whether his distaste for kids from non-affluent neighborhoods is wrong and, well, I'll let you see what happened.

First, here's Halloween****'s story in his own words: "Within the past year, my girlfriend moved in with me into my home in an affluent neighborhood. For the past few years, the neighbors and I have seen a growing amount of people come to our neighborhood for Halloween. This has caused a lot of people to 'turn off' for Halloween, which you'd think would get the crowd to lessen, but it keeps growing."

"I was openly annoyed with this leading up to Halloween, and my girlfriend would condemn it every time I brought it up because 'Halloween's all about sharing.' She said it shouldn't matter whether the kids are from the neighborhood or not."

"She'd also point out that many of these children probably live in bad neighborhoods where it's not possible to trick-or-treat."

"Not surprisingly, this year at both entrances to the neighborhood, cars lined the streets. Some with out of state plates. (I live in a suburb of a city that is just over the state line.) Am I the **** for getting annoyed with parents who truck carloads full of kids to a neighborhood they don't live in?"

Unsurprisingly, thousands of commenters weighed in to call Halloween**** out in varying ways. With 15,000 upvotes, the top comment simply reads: "Yep, and sorry about your privilege," user PreOpTransCent aur said.

Not only could people not believe how cheap someone from a supposedly "affluent neighborhood" was acting...

"If you’re doing well enough to live in an 'affluent' neighborhood, you can certainly afford a few bags of candy for the kids from the bad neighborhoods," user cubs_070816 said.

Nobody can be born rich. Either he or she has to start poor from scratch.
