Halloween is one of those holidays with events incredibly segregated by age. If you’re over 13, someone will yell at you for trick-or-treating.

‘Stop pretending and pay me back’: Man calls out cousin on social media after she flaunts her lavish lifestyle in a post yet refuses to pay him back her $2000 loan

We all know the feeling of being punished for someone else’s misdeeds. When you’re an adult, it manifests more subtly, like wondering, «Who ruined this for everyone?» when you see a particular rule.
