To think you’re lazy it you still have Halloween decorations out?

[Coloursyrue]

And said person has put their Christmas up.

It’s rotting pumpkins on their outdoor steps

Could not care less.

Maybe you just like living in filth then?

Rotting pumpkins on the doorstep - lazy
Halloween light or wreath - maybe they are just waiting to swap them over with Christmas decoration.
We have a house that leaves most of their Christmas lights up all year around, they just don't turn them on. They do throw away the real wreath and put the inflatable decorations away

This is mn.....lots of people claim to change their bedding every few months, never move the sofa to clean, use towels for a year before washing etc. They claim it gives them robust health and more time to 'make memories' with the kids. Personally I would consider the way some people choose to live as squalor but if you dare mention it you are accused of being a clean freak.
Rotting pumpkins on the door step is lazy and disgusting, especially when you think how many times the people living there must walk past them!
Personally I would just take a bin bag out, scoop them up and bin them!

I agree OP. It’s not good to have rotten pumpkins. I’d find it weird if they went to the effort of putting up Xmas decorations but didn’t take Halloween ones down. At least you know they’re ok.

I literally just took our happy Halloween window stickers off over the weekend to do my Christmas drawings 😂 I wouldn’t say I am lazy though, more fighting for my life to get everything done everyday!

My Halloween decorations stay up until I take them down to put the Christmas ones. It’s not out of laziness, I enjoy having them up and it’s no one’s business.

That would be me. I’m waiting until it isn’t raining so I can put my pumpkins in the garden bin.

Don't really care.

They are better than some of the tacky inflatable monstrosities that have gone up overnight in my village. A giant inflatable tree with a Father Christmas half way up being debagged by an inflatable dog pulling his trousers down being perhaps the worst so far.

Have they left the rotting pumpkins to benefit the wildlife.

Misguided if they have but I think some people belive they're doing good.

The rotting pumpkins are grim, especially when they’re on display on someone’s fence or something. I’ve seen this a couple of times in the past week and I do think it’s a bit lazy. It’s not even a minute job to put it in a bag and in the bin. Putting decor away is annoying but again, 5-10 min job. I guess people just look past it.

Mine aren’t carved so they’re not rotting.

I'm spooky so mine never go away. I don't have Halloween decor, just decor 👻🧙🏼‍♀️🧹🌙🦇☠️🪦

Maybe they like them?

You didn’t state it was rotting pumpkins though did you? You also didn’t state inside decs or outside decs in your first post. ‘Out’ can mean you’ve just got the decorations out still (both indoors or outdoors). We talk of getting the Xmas decorations ‘out’ here to mean the indoor ones out of the box and on display. If you had been specific you’d have got different responses.

‘Halloween decorations’ would usually include themed lights, maybe some bats and ghosties and themed laterns and candle holders. Not just a load of pumpkins turning to mush left outside.

It’s currently -11 outside, -18 with the wind chill. You go right ahead if it bothers you.

Your original question was a bit misleading - could have just meant some ghost bunting or similar. Who cares in that case. 'Is it inconsiderate to leave rotting vegetables outside the front of your house for 5 weeks?' would be a yes.

You only mentioned rotting vegetables when it became apparent thread was not going to go your way.

Pumpkins are toxic to Hedgehogs who will inevitably appear at night and will inevitably nibble on them. Just appalling

Assuming, as you say, they are both fully functioning adults, my first thought is that this is a game of gap chicken.

If that person is dealing with any issues like depression, ADHD etc., ‘just’ doing something like getting rid of the pumpkins (even if rotting) can seem insurmountable. Not saying this is the case here, but in those situations that person is probably already beating themselves up about their ‘laziness’.

Although if they have managed to put up their Christmas decorations, doesn’t sound like this is the case here

Oh no! I just checked with AI and it looks plausible.

"Yes, pumpkins are bad for hedgehogs because they can cause severe digestive issues like diarrhea and dehydration, which can be fatal"

PS i'm not American.
PPS I don't celebrate Thanksgiving/Halloween
PPPS Don't feed hedghogs milk either. They're lactose intolerant.

We never got round to putting the Halloween decorations up because all the Easter Bunny stuff was still in the way.
