Why you shouldn't be The Joker for Halloween

by workingclassheroes on

I’ll give you a good reason. Because guess what kids…..everyone is going as the Joker for Halloween. That’s right! From jocks to emo kids, everyone and their mom is trembling with anticipation at the thought of dressing up as a post Health Ledger wannabe.

It’s gotten to the point where I’m almost considering dressing up as the dark knight himself to simply kick these people’s asses. I’m sick of hearing, “Oh my god I have the best costume and everyone is going to think I look so badass. I’m going as the Joker! I know I spent a lot of money on the costume, but it was sooo worth it.” Guess what dipshit, so is everyone else, but you’re the dumbass who spent over $200 for a f*cking purple suit….A f*cking purple suit! Then, when you finally go to a party and realize that there are 3 other people there also dressed in the same freakin costume you’re in, you’ll probably eventually just throw it away when you realize you look more like Prince than the actual Joker.

Now don’t get me wrong, the Joker is probably the most badass badass to ever grace the big screen with his presence, but seriously, is it just me or do angst ridden teens simply love this clown. Please people, be something cool for Halloween. Not a freakin white faced clown in a purple suit.

Whiny inmate

I worked at a prison as a corrections officer (prison guard) and there was a particular inmate there who always complained about everything. For three months I endured his rants on how the lights were too bright, the rooms too hot, the blankets too scratchy, and so on. Obviously this is prison and no one gets luxury accommodations. I reached the end of my rope one morning... Read More » when I had to go down the run and wake him up at 7 AM for transport somewhere else in the state for a medical procedure. The guy is all grumpy, complaining about how I'm getting him up at the "ass crack of dawn." He demanded to be allowed time to take a shower, heat and drink some coffee and have a smoke. The van taking him away was already waiting for him and I knew for a fact that he'd taken a shower before going to bed the night before. I told him there wasn't time for any of that, he just had to get dressed and get to the van. He begins swearing and ranting about how inhumanely we were treating him and after months of his complaints I couldn't hold it in anymore. "I know, it sucks how early you have to get up to get your free medical care, huh?" I told him. He was immediately silent . He got dressed and left in a huff. I later found out how he wrote a grievance to the warden about my comment. Inmate complaints are occasionally reason for worry, so I was nervous when the warden called me in to his office. It turned out he just thought my comment was hilarious and told me to keep up the good work.
