As for trick or treating itself, the last time I went was in college. None of us had younger siblings or relatives that we could take, so we dressed up in elaborate costumes and hit a few neighborhoods close to the campus. We were polite, always let children go up to the door first, recieved compliments and few pieces of candy. A lot of people loved our costumes. Then one elderly couple threatened to call the police on us. A few parents with kids who had been walking with us tried sticking up for us, but they weren't hearing any of it.
So we called it a night.
What's the difference if a kind adult goes around in a nice costume compared to a parent that takes their newborn infant? Is the kid going to remember any of it or eat the candy?
I really dislike being told I'm too old to trick or treat. Come Halloween, all my options are is the bar scene. Blah! (And my place is too small to host a decent party)
Uhh people still have to clean that up, which is not fun. Can't you have fun that doesn't involve making a mess of people's yards/houses?Quote:

Ok, so I do enjoy dressing up Nebo and taking him to the dog halloween parties, that's about all I do for Halloween! How pathetic is that? :o
I haven't been trick or treating in ages! I usually walk with my family though when my little cousins and sister go, but I doubt I'll even be going home this year. I have dressed up every year though for school, only because I enjoy being one of the few that do :D
I may dress up just for fun, and I'm sure I could find a few crazy parties if I wanted :rolleyes:
I own my home and my cars and I work hard for them. I don't feel like cleaning up after people who ought to know better. I have a husband with a degenerative neurological condition, work two jobs, and spend most of my time as a single parent to 3 kids and taking care of his needs, not to mention my house and pets. I sure as **** don't have time to clean up that kind of mess and you ought to think about the people that have to clean up after your stupid crap. Things like that infuriate me because those who do it don't think about the consequenes to others, even if it is just spending time cleaning up, not everyone has the time and often those things can ruin other's property. Kids like you piss me off. No respect for other people's property and things.Quote:

Vela, you were talking about Lute, right? I agree with you, people work hard for their homes, they don't need people making a mess of them for "fun."
WELL said Vela!!!!!!
My brother went trick-or-treating with his friends once he was 13 and people refused to give him candy :rolleyes: i thought that was rude they said he didn't have costume he was a statebourder,his friend was a theif,and his other friend i think was a ghost.One person yelled and said they costums were not costumes becasue they were hand made.My brothers friend said they were to poor to get real costumes I also died laughing.
I haven't gone trick-or-treating in about 4 years. Last time I went, I was about 9 or so. My parents have never been to fond of dressing up etc. nor was I. I was also too shy to tell someone trick-or-treat. We haven't celebrated Halloween in years either. My mom thinks it celebrates the devil, and I think the same. I mainly did it for the candy when I was little, but now I feel to mature for that, even if I am only 13.
As for Lute. I think it is incredibly immature for an 18 year old to throw toilet paper on someone's house. If my house (or I should say parents' house), got TPed I know I would be extremely mad, but then if I found out that it was done by an 18 year old, I would probably think the worst of you. You may think it's fun/funny to do so, but I'll tell you, you should TP your own house and see how fun it is to clean up. Luckily for us we have never had our house TPed, but I know it would be a pain in the behind to get ladders etc. to get the toilet paper off my trees and possibly roof. It seems that even I have more maturity(sp?) than you do. Now, I know you think it's fun and all, but just please, take into consideration what the owner of that house has to do to pay for your 'fun'.
Yes I was talking about Lute hehe, sorry I was agreeing with waht you had said and then I thought about it while typing and got really mad about it=x Maybe I shouldn't have but i really am tired of young adults who act like idiots and ruin or harm others or their property for kicks. It's just really upsetting when it's your stuff that gets ruined, might seem like fun and games but I have had a car ruined by egging, have had to pluck toilet paper from my trees and bushes after it got watered in, and the amoutn of work to get stuff like that off is hard work. I just let it get the best of me LOL. Sorry Wolf-Q if you thought I was talking to you=)
YES! At 16 I definitely will still be trick or treating. However My 10 year old sister , 10 year old cousin, 8 year old cousin, 4 year old sister, and 3 year old cousin will tag along as well. I won't dress up but I plan on bring Roxie and dressing her up. :D
Yes I plan on going trick-or-treating...
As for the TPing peoples house, maybe I should could over to Indiana (If i'm correct on where you live) and TP your house that'd be lots of fun huh? :rolleyes: Cleaning up all the mess, getting ladders to get it out of the trees,if it rains before you can get it out.. trying to get it off once it is "glued" on, that'd be a heck of a day huh?!! Put yourself in their place, would you want to be the person cleaning it up. ;) Think about that, hope you make the right choice and don't do that.If you do hope the police find you, good luck... have fun at the police station then it'll be seriously fun right? And good for you if you don't do it, then you'll seem a little mature then what you type.
If someone asks me to take their kid, I am getting candy too!
I usually take one of the dogs with me and dress them up - people get a real kick out of it.
As for lute, I agree 100% with Vela. Well said, like usual. Hopefully stupid kids will get what's coming to them.
I know you're addressing me when you speak of how you don't think it's "cool". I don't want to seem like I'm coming down so hard on you, but toilet papering someone's house is very immature. You may think it's fun but it most certainly is not for the owners of the house. How about you spend a whole day picking up toilet paper from your yard and from your trees and roof.Quote:
