Go Away! No Candy Here.

[Mai72]

Sad to say but when I was growing up we didn't celebrate Halloween at my house. Normally, the lights would go out at about 4pm and they wouldn't go back on until 10pm. My parents would herd us into the back room away from the noisy kids banging on our door.

My mom was always like this. Hell, I can remember when her mom would come over unexpectedly. If my mom knew in advance she would take us into the bedroom while her mother was pounding on the door asking if anyone was home.

Anyone have a similar experience?

thats pretty sad. I'm sad because the last 4 years of my life I haven't been able to give out candies to the kiddos. Location is everything these days now.

Yea. High school kids are the worse.

Hello! How old are you again? Shouldn't you be home studying for a test?

at this point in my life I'm happy if any kids show up at my doorstep. This year i live in a basement and won't get anyone coming to my door. upstair neighbours are poor white trash and all their garbage will probably scare any person away from the property.

That's one of the upsides of living in a senior citizen community...NO nasty, begging kids pounding on the door, demanding tribute...

A tootsie roll fired out of a carbide cannon will do the trick too.

You live in a basement? I'd love that setup. All by myself. Just me and my gaming PC. Pizza boxes everywhere. Soda bottles littered on the floor. I'd keep the place nice and dark. Just waiting for the good lord to take my soul.

But then they will just walk around the door straight into the living room.

Ohhhhhh, you meant the spray paint.

Don't worry OP, houses with a registered sex offender are never visited during Halloween by children - their parents won't allow it.

if you didn't get them high from you're second hand pot smoke all the time maybe they wouldn't be too wasted to take out he garbage, ever think of that?

That's why you make a couple of caramel coated onions just for when they show up.

We live in the sticks, a few neighbors with kids though. I asked them if they were bringing the kids around trick or treating - they're going into town. So... no candy at my house.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

I do enough at Xmas, fuck Halloween. 99% of the kids come over here from other areas to mooch better candy. Stay in your own area greedy fuckers.

Explains a lot! :awe:

I used to go out as a kid and my parents used to and still give out candy. We used to carve a pumpkin too and put it out that night with a candle in it. I'll be working night shift so I'll give out candy till 6:30ish then I have to leave for work. I hope my house does not get egged.

 

[CraKaJaX]

Trick or treated as a child, but never even feasted on the candy really. The only thing worthwhile was the reeses. Luckily I have a gig tomorrow night and won't even be home. Tomorrow will be zero candy, all bourbon.

 

[BarkingGhostar]

I'm surprised some Chinese company has manufactured fae replica candy that is all laxatives. Surely someone in the US of A will buy it.

My mom was not like this. She'd take us out and into the late hours of the night. We had home made costumes too! Not all the time, but she did it. She was a crafter and baker so it was the shit.

But you know, if I had kids I'd get a segway. No way in hell my out of shape body is walking all over hell. And besides, I can't keep up to those little feet.
