During the time my entire neighbourhood was trick-or-treating last night, an Amazon driver had the bright idea to deliver packages. I hope the candies were worth driving around at 2 km/h and dodging small kids.
Sometimes, in sitcoms, a friend or relative who doesn’t live in the home just enters and announces themselves after opening the presumably unlocked door.
[Shudders]
this is normal around here as long as the homeowner knows you’re coming
Well, yeah, that makes complete sense. It the entering unannounced that I don’t think would work for me.
I go to my sister’s house like that, with her permission of course
Standing permission or do you notify her in advance?
This is how my grandparents house was growing up. They were my neighbors so it was like having 2 houses.
Anyway family would just pop in whenever. The older I get the more I reflect on how nice it was. The closeness and connection as opposed to this isolation.
We were meant to have these large extended families that we lived together with. Multi-generational households or even compounds were the norm for practically all of human history.
Sometimes I think about what we’ve lost. I guess I don’t have to wear pants
I like the idea of a compound or a village for a multi-generational family home. Seems like a nice blend of closeness and respecting boundaries. I’m not saying that wasn’t the case in your situation. I’m sure you had a method of respecting their privacy, too.
It really was an open door policy. Only time I had to knock was at night after 8 or so because they would lock up. I guess other family would call at nighttime, but daytime was open
Simple times
My friends do this. It’s nice because I can have friends over while also never answering when someone knocks or rings the doorbell.
Respectable take.
What I’m afraid of:
“Oh, no, don’t stop on my account, but when you two are done and get your clothes back on, wanna play a board game?”
ANOTHER 3 hour investment today? No thank you.
My guess is it’s just to save time so they don’t have to waste time going to the door and opening it for everyone who arrives.
One of my other concerns is that an unescorted visitor might get eaten by a corgi.
He had almost the right idea, except the fool answered his door on Halloween.
Yeah, the right approach is to have a basket of candy outside the door and the door locked
I mean, I’m Danish. I just witnessed kids running around in disposable costumes begging for candy and I was like: “Due to Trump’s policies I can’t afford food, let alone candy, but I’ve got some left-over Thai red curry you little America-loving swine can have for free. It’s really hot tough, so I don’t know if you can handle the ginger and chili. If you would kindly take your American holiday and fuck off, I can get back to opposing Russia’s genocide of Ukraine while you’re having fun.”
You may not agree with how we raise our kids around these parts, but it sure does work better than what you’ve got going on, you fucking worthless American pussies.
This is unnecessarily rude and derogatory towards many, many people, and not a tone we condone on Feddit.dk (see our site-wide rule 1).

Nobody:
You: HOW DARE CHILDREN HAVE FUN, FUCKING CAPITALIST PIG SCUM
Thanks for opposing Russia’s genocide by… protesting Halloween. Everyone has their role to play, I guess.
Yeah, let’s hate children having fun. How dare they. Dude, reality will hit them soon enough. Let them enjoy an evening.
What do you mean the 2nd amendment means nothing, without it it would be much more difficult for those in power to control people. Also the idiots that want guns the most are the same people that support the regime making it even more pointless.
Yeah, with this placebo they totally will have a harder time controlling people.
Yeah, fuck those kids for not opposing Russia
yes.
