trick or treat?

[lute]

do you still go trick or treating? if not, why? do you dress up?


i havn't gone since i was 12. i didn't want to go with my brothers so i just stopped going. well, me and a bunch of my friends(i hang out with lots of guys) were at the tatoo shop the other night talking about going trick or treating. i said i don't go. the guys just laughed and said "you're going this year!" i know these guys well and they won't just go trick or treating. we will more than likely end our night hiding from the police.lol we do that a lot. not sure what i'm gonna dress up as.

Wow, that's mature.

If I were you, i'd dress as a prison inmate, because that's where you'll end up if you carry on doing the kind of things you're implying.

I second that.

I don't any more as I'm 'too grown up' I usually accompany my brother around when he goes trick or treating, and if I do want some sweets, I just nick a couple from him My kind neighbour usually gets me a goody bag anyway and my parents might give me some money to get something nice.

I'd have to say that from some of the posts you post (this one & the seatbelt one) you better start counting your blessings now. Not sure how much longer you can stay out of trouble.

I agree.

I agree, from the sounds of it you and your friends are very immature and one of these days something bad is going to happen because of it. Cops have much better things they need to be doing rather than chasing after juvenile delinquents who don't have the common sense God gave them to stay out of trouble they don't need to be into. There are people out there who really need their help, and you tie them up with stupid pranks and jokes, really smart.

Agreed.
I've always had the feeling that you were immature and irresponsible, but now I'm sure of it. You're 18 years old, it's time you start acting like an adult (though not even a kid should be acting in such an irresponsible manner).

Oh my! Spending the night hiding out from cops?

I remember once I went trick or treating out of town with some friends in college and then didn't have any money to get home (didn't plan on needing cash - got lost and the ONLY way home I knew was the turnpike). I actually stopped at a police station and begged for turn pike money home! LOL The cop knew I was a good kid (I was!) and gave me $3 to get home..... I went ot them for help, it would have never occured to me to spend the night hiding from them!

that doesn't sound like a good idea
I stoped going at 13

At the age of 53??? Hardly. HOWEVER, back in my drinking days, I used to dress up and go bar hopping with my friends. What a hoot that was!!! I remember dressing up in my bunker gear from the fire dept. and hand out fireballs to all the cute looking guys. The things we do...*sigh*

you can never outgrow trick or treating!


as for everyone else. i'm not saying it's "cool" to hide from police. i didn't mean for it to sound like that. i live in the sticks. it's like living in Mayberry. there is NOTHING to do here other than hang out in the Dollar General parking lot and muddin. that's just what ya do around here. i'm sorry ya'll think i'm inmature and what not. i do have responsabilities. i just don't share them. i only share what i do for fun. my friends are good friends. we're just a bunch of hillbillies.

I beg to differ. You, at 18, have outgrown trick-or-treating.

Can you still dress up and Halloween and have fun? Sure! But anyone taller than me who shows up at my door for candy that is taller than me gets a hard time. It hasn't happened in years, not since we moved to this neighborhood. But in the last place we lived, a couple times kids who towered over me (I am 5'6") came to the door, they got asked how old they were, were embarrassed to give me the answer, and got one small piece of candy each (everybody else got three).

The reason everyone is concerned, is you mentioned "hiding from police," which means you are intending to do something illegal, maybe vandalism at the very least. And you know what? Real emergencies that require police presence do happen, even in a "hick town," and I hope the force is not preoccupied with you to the detriment of someone else's safety or well-being. There are plenty of fun things you can do without breaking the law.

As a dispatcher, I have to agree with everyone else. You are old enough to surely know that it's not cool to be hiding from the police. We get many calls involving juveniles and that does tie up the units from responding to other calls. Things like kids playing on the phone. If we get 911 hangups, they are considered emergencies and the officers are pulled off of other calls to respond. Sounds like you might be up for a little criminal mischief or something? Not a good idea unless you want to get into trouble. Or maybe you want to wear prison orange?

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.
