Fezmid Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 Ok, is it just me or do others think it's completely ridiculous to follow your kids in a car while they trick or treat? I don't get it. Is society becoming so lazy that we can't even WALK from house to house? I understand if you live in the middle of nowhere and need to drive to a more populated area. But I live in a townhome complex, and there are other townhome complexes around us as well. High density, no need to drive. I think it's lame personally. And I don't buy the "security" aspect; you're just as secure walking with your kids, especially in the days of cell phones. Anyone else? CW
Just Jack Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 If there's not a public place to park your car, then it's easier to just follow the kids with it.
CajunBillsBacker Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 In some places here, there are cops patrolling the high trick or treat neighborhoods. They usually pull over the people driving and tell them they have to walk or leave because of the possibility of kids running out in front of the moving vehicles.

Tux of Borg Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 I had to drive during trick or treat hours to pick up some dinner. It was a nightmare, and kids were all over the place. I drove as slow as I could and kids were running out in front of my car.
