Truth: Attention Whores
I recently helped work a Haunted Hayride to help raise money for a local community. The event went very well, and it was great fun. More fun then I thought I would have, not being a Halloween guy. However I have a new appreciation for the fun and effort that was involved.
Aside from the all goulish fun and stuff, there was seemingly one low point. That low point would happen often. It was when a hayride trailer would drive by and there were teenagers on there. Nothing to look forward to when they came around, because it seemed each one had to talk out loud as they drove by. Each one had to add their two cents and commentary. Each one had to comment how they weren't scared, or they would make some off the cuff remark. Rather than enjoy the atmosphere and what not, they just had to show off to their friends.
I don't get what they wanted to achieve, but it just proves their all freakin idiots. Is it a territory thing? Is it just some form of machismo? Where's the respect? I wanted so badly to drag them off the trailer and just yell at them.
Next year I'm hoping they only allow teenagers in with muzzles. Or at least give us the ability to pelt them with paintball filled balloons.
