re: Drive by “birthday parties” are annoying

For teenagers or grownups it seems silly.

For younger kids who have no ability to grasp what is happening it gives them a chance to see their friends albeit briefly.

We went to one yesterday but it was not run by Nazis so many folks stopped, got out their car, kept their distance and chatted with the host and each other while their kids got to at least see their buddies. THey even handed out treatbags for the kid who attended with one of those grabber sticks. We may have been less careful with the beers.
