re: Raise your hand if you hate everything about Mardi Gras

I'm with you. Mardi Gras brings out the trashiest of people. Especially up here in Shreveport.

I can see how people that live outside the city can dislike it. They have to pay for hotel rooms, shack up with friends, drive in and out fighting traffic, eat out for every meal, have to fight for spots, etc. However, living here makes it much easier.

I'm guessing you don't need help bringing out trashy people for any public gathering.

Yeah lets not hide it. Pretty much every public parade or festival, etc in this state will have a ton of trash.
We are still better than Mississippi though, so lets be proud.

I agree. But, this has happened to me in real life. Not as extreme as the internet responses but people definitely like I kicked their puppy.

I loved Mardi Gras as a kid. My family and about 3 sets of cousins would meet up at my Aunts house in Metarie for the weekend and we would go to a few parades and explore.

Now it's kinda meh. None of my Kids have any cousins their age and they've expressed zero interest in going to any parades the last few years. I don't even get the day off like my old man did anyway (I could take it off if I wanted but there is no point)

Which personality types?

Yep.

The only reason I go is that the kids seem to like it. I'm starting to wonder if the kids only like it because they think everyone else is having a good time so things must be fun.

Once the they outgrow it then I won't have any reason to go to those awful things.

Obviously, you're doing wrong. You're not drunk enough.
