An important part of growing up, as I understand it, is acting like an adult. This, of course, does not mean we aren't all children at heart, however it does mean that in some places adults should behave as such.
Once of these places is in the workplace. This, in my opinion, is why Halloween decorations in an office is completely unacceptable. Unless there are kids coming to the office, or if you work in the medical field, specifically one that caters to pediatrics, Halloween decorations are a no go.
I have always hated Halloween. It scares me. I think people in masks are creepy and I try to avoid Halloween parades or crowded bars on the holiday because if I were to kill someone, I would do it on Halloween. Think about it. Let's say you, the victim, or if you didn't survive long enough to talk to the police, the witnesses would tell them "Oh, we were all just standing there and out of nowhere Richard Nixxon came and stabbed her". Not very helpful.
Other Halloween costumes without masks are fine, who cares? Sometimes they are funny. Masks should be outlawed.
Back to my original point, Halloween decorations in an office are unacceptable unless they are funny and you work in a funny environment.
One co-worker that I already hated, I call her Wigface, has decorated her tiny office with fake spiderwebs with spiders, a plastic glowing pumpkin, a kindergarten classroom's decoration of a ghost saying "Spooooky!" and a witch hat on her bookshelf. Listen bitch, it was bad enough when you hung up the "Team Edward" calendar in your office in full view of everyone that walked by, but now you should be fired. (For those of you that don't know, that includes you my 1 reader from South Korea: Edward is the sparkling vampire from the teen sensation book series and movies, The Twilight Saga).
Ugh, I want to punch her so badly.
The Halloween decorations I hate the most are the ones that make noises. It is so annoying walking into work to punch in and tripping the sensor that makes a severed head on the shelf scream at me. First of all, it scares me every time. Not once have I not jumped a little bit. Second of all, it must be annoying for the people in the surrounding offices when they are on the phone trying to work and someone walks by and hears a woman screaming for her life. If I were on the other end of that phone line, I would hang up for sure.
I suppose Halloween decorations I would find OK for the office would be where someone spent a lot of money and turned their bosses' head into a plastic replica severed head that serves candy. That would be funny, assuming the boss had a sense of humor. It would also be funny as a Halloween practical joke, if someone hired a person dressed up as a ghost to punch Wigface in the face at my office. If you are interested, please email me and I will give you the address. (Don't worry about punching the wrong person, she is about 35, really petite, and half her body weight is in her hair which she styles like Jon Benet Ramsey every morning. Her hair sticks out from her face for about 6 inches all around before gravity sets in and falls down her back. I'm pretty sure I saw glitter extensions in her hair this morning as well.)
