when did you stop trick or treating?

[nageov3t]

6th grade for me.

my best friend at the time was a jehova's witness, so I arranged to go with my cousin and his friends... they ended up bailing though, so I went by myself. like 2 houses in, I just felt dumb and too old for the shit.

only times I've even gotten dressed up since was for high school/college parties.

Does tricking your kids into giving you their treats count?

Don't remember when for me...too old! :grumpy old man emoticon:

 

[lxskllr]

I think I was around 14; 13 or 14.

Age 11. I think it was 11, maybe 10. :hmm:

I only went once, as a pirate when I was 7. Didn't care for it.

 

[DaTT]

Usually when no one answered the door anymore.

 

[SSSnail]

When someone said "Hey, Mr. Miyagi?" and I replied "No, this is my actual beard".

 

[Rockinacoustic]

Maybe 10th or 11th grade? Having younger brothers was a good alibi to prolong it.

Grade 4 or 5, I started handing out candy, almost burned down the house...

 

[Ika]

I didn't stop until I left for college :awe:
I figure if I'm going to be stuck handing out candy for the rest of my life on my birthday I may as well get as much candy as I can get.

besides, messing around with friends on halloween night (non-vandalism) was fun.

Age 6? I used to before I moved to jersey.

Not sure, perhaps maybe 13ish years old.

When they call 911 before they open the door.

never, my parents were religious nuts and took us to church instead of trick or treating.

what a waste

 

[sandorski]

I don't really remember. Approx 13ish when I became religious and it was frowned upon for sure, but I may have quit prior to that.

I think I was either 11 or 12. Must have been 11 because I remember going as a Mexican bandit. Had a giant sombrero I got during a family vacation in Mexico earlier that year.

 

[Gooberlx2]

After 11 or 12, I think.

Give a 10 year old a candle and a lull, he'll start lighting "harmless" things on fire like cobwebs attached to extremely flamable caulking/foam fillers. Luckily, I was paranoid enough to have a bowl of water in case shit happened.

Probably around 10-12. When I see high school kids trick or treating I get pissed. Its for children, not teenagers/adults. If you can drive, you shouldn't trick or treat. Only exception is when you are doing so with a younger brother/sister.

Back when I was in university, the kids living on res used to go to the rich neighbourhoods near by. Apparently they gave out loads of candy. Somebody seriously needed to grow up.
