Plus, a warning about what might be lurking inside your child's Halloween candy this year

Most weeks we read the entire internet so you don’t have to. Here in our semi-regular round up, we curate (some of) our favorite tweets from the previous seven days.

These are locally sourced, organically grown, free range nuggets of wisdom and/or jest for the week ending October 14.

Returned to NYC after 2+ months and watched a woman seeking an item at the Sunset Park Costco approach a man holding a broom. "Do you work here?" she asked.

He stared at her. "You think I do this shit for free?"

It's good to be back.

contents of every single "free! take me!" box outside a park slope brownstone: the first frying pan ever invented, loose toothpicks, nice piece of furniture way too heavy to take with you, trash someone threw in because they thought the box was trash, monogramed toothpicks

That NYT story about Park Slope residents agonizing about whether it's ethical to call the cops on a psychotic hobo who keeps attacking them reads like something Frank Miller cut out of the satirical portions of THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS for being too broad
