Do you...

[pstylesss]

I just heard this on my favorite radio show, and I wanted to know how ATers measured their worth. I know you all do it, how do you measure yourself against other people?

I'm rarely home while trick-or-treaters are coming around.

 

[michaelsslave]

i rate myself by how much money i have

 

[FoBoT]

no, we only get a handful each year due to the location where we live

 

[waggy]

nope.

where i live we usually get 2-3 a year. so i just buy a few candy bars to give them.

Same. We are at the bottom of a long hill. Seemed like the parents and the kids come about halfway down before they decide they don't want to make the trip all the way to the bottom and hike back up.

What FoBoT and waggy said. Where we live there is no neighborhood to speak of.

 

[nageov3t]

nah... my goal this year is not to get any trick or treaters.

even as a kid, I was never super big into Halloween, and it seems like recently, the trend has been to trick or treat on the saturday before halloween, as opposed to on the day itself, and frack that.

We're out trick or treating ourselves, sooo...

 

[kranky]

Our home has steps and a steep driveway, so I make a point to not be home on Halloween, and leave all the lights out. I'm too paranoid about some kid tripping over a too-long costume, falling down the steps and suing me for a billion dollars. Sad, I know.

lol i agree

ours #s are speratic, one year we went through like 10lbs of candy and had to turn the lights off cause we ran out, it was a constant stream of kids, others we get like 20,

personally i wish we got 0 so i could do something else then sit by the door and hand out candy

I measure myself by least number of idiotic threads started. That makes me another +1 vs you.

My parents live on a desd end court that is connected to the rest of the subdivision by a sidewalk. Not many people ever venture up the sidewalk so they average about 5 kids every year for Trick or Treating.

Center at the top is their street. All the other streets are down below them.

I'm at the end of a dead-end, uphill street that's a quarter mile long with 4 houses on it. My neighborhood is about 50% retirees.

I'll let you guess how many TorT'ers we've had in the 10 years we've lived there .

.... as long as you get more candy you are the best?

 

[hanoverphist]

i like scaring people, so i dont care how much candy i give out... saves me cash if i can manage to keep people from actually reaching my front door, which has been about 50% in past years. i actually got "scolded" by a couple parents for having a scary house that made their kids cry on halloween. i told them to come back the next year and id make sure to scare the parents too. they dont stop at my house anymore. the past couple years we have been going to my sis in laws house so all the cousins can hang, and their decorations are the nonscary halloween, so it isnt the same. i miss my graveyard and zombies. im gonna do the fog zombie walk this year at their house tho, i have 3 teens that want to help scare people. should be fun!
