People online are triggered by a Halloween costume designed to illustrate the act of "ghosting".
The polyester hooded dress retails for $24.99 and features a series of unanswered texts across the front.
The retailer's description reads: "If someone's blowing up your phone, ghost them in a Ghosted Costume for women! The costume is a hooded white dress designed to look like a ghost with a series of unanswered texts on the front. The texts include '???,' 'R U OK!?,' and more. Eager texters will know not to bother you in this Ghosted Costume!"
A popular definition for "ghosting" describes it as the act of cutting off all communication with "zero warning."
And the costume has sparked a lot of reactions.
