We’ve already heard from all the Halloween overachievers who have been working on their costumes for months. Let’s hear from those of us who are still throwing things together. What’s the plan??
I ordered my witch costume (from eBay, my nephew wants me to be a witch)and it was supposed to deliver on Sunday, then yesterday and now today and it’s still not here. I’ve contacted the seller and it’s a post office issue. I don’t want to spend more money bc he’s only 2 but then again I want to dress up with him. I’m just frustrated.
My best underachiever costume was when I was 13 or 14 (so many years ago I forget). At the last minute 2 of my friends and I decide to go candy gathering. I went as a jogger.
@yakkoTDI Hmmm. I don’t think much of the teens who come around expecting candy dressed in their normal clothes; I guess “jogger” is at least a tiny bit of creative thinking. I had two guys in jeans and flannel shirts and hoodies; I said something about their lame costumes; I should have said “Let me guess - Dumb and Dumber?”
Wearing a set of scrubs and going (to work) as an ER nurse…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
what can I say?
@chienfou You’re not an underachiever, you’re a superhero
Brown hooded robe
@ybmuG Jawa or Jedi just depends on height
@jouest or Francis of Assisi vs Friar Tuck depending on girth
@jouest I’m actually thinking, given the date, Martin Luther
@ybmuG nailing “trick or treat” to someone’s door would be a real commitment to the bit

@Star2236 I hope it arrives in time

@Kyeh We weren’t expecting much and didn’t go to a lot of houses. Honestly we did better than expected and were quite happy about it.
@yakkoTDI If these two had had a good line of banter I’d have been more generous, but they were just lazy.
(Also works with “Asian child” or any number of other groups.)
