I can't believe people! So I had like 30 people (notice I said people, not kids) show up trick or treating. Out of those 30 or so, only 5 were dressed in costume. I had 2 different women shove a bag in my face and say it's for the baby at home. What the hell? I was too shocked to refuse them candy. After about an hour of this, I shut the door and turned off all the lights (an still had people ring the bell.) I can't believe people had the gall just to walk up and demand candy. You have to do SOME work for it, people! At least slap some make up on and go as a woman (for boys) or wear a freaking sheet over your head. Anyway, I really wanted to say something, but who knows if they might retaliate by throwing rocks through my windows. :) Anyway. Just appalled. We are NOT amused.
There are polite rules of halloween.
1. You only go to houses with their front porch light on. very basic.
2. YOU WEAR A COSTUME IF YOU WANT CANDY!
3. You must be present to get the candy. The point of Halloween is to dress up and have fun and a fun "side effect" is you get candy. You aren't OWED candy!
4. It is for CHILDREN! Childhood stops at 13 IMO. I had fellow students (20year old+) talking about going trick or treating.
5. GO with an adult. If you are old enough to go without an adult, you are too old to go trick or treating. Go to a party or your church get together or whatever.
6. Say thank you. I can't believe people. I really can't.
