I was frightened how much I looked like the Fuhrer. My costume obsession started a few years back, and now that I have convinced all of my friends that Halloween is the greatest day of the year, they try to come up with great costumes as well. This makes it even harder on me, since now I'm in competition with them as well as myself. Now, I tend to despise someone who has an unoriginal costume, even though I should be looking down on people who don't dress up at all. I can't help it, though.
Women have it easier than men.
Come on, those are lame and open for ridicule. Guys don't really have generic costumes, other than dressing up in a sports uniform. I give some leeway to anyone who makes an effort, though. Now, trick or treaters, that's a different story. I really hate it when kids who are too old to be taking candy from children, knock on your door without a costume, a trick or a joke.
