Am I a miserable old....
« on: 31 October 2008, 17:12:51 »

Bl@@dy kids, knocking the door, asking for "trick or treat" ...

I wouldn't mind so much, but why can't they say "trick or treat please?

I just took out a handful of bunjee straps and straped up the front gate so they can't get into the front entrance.... and Maria has called me a misterable old b@stard and told me to remove them....

Thoughts, please  ;D

I am also getting it in both angles, including the "It's not fair, I hate you" treatment, because I don't agree with kids going out trick or treating on their own, in the dark.... and I won't go, because I personally think it's a pain in the ass.

It would have been ok years ago, and should be ok now, but sadly, it's not.

always have a few cheap sweets to give out.

Seen what happens to the houses which dont enter into the spirit.

Would rather give out a few chocs than clear up eggs later!

Just had some young lads at the door about ten years old "trick or treat mister" I was prepared and handed them each some sweets I didn't get a thank you, the reply was can't you give us some money  >:( I nearly told them to break off! When I told Mrs Tony H about it she said I was tight (she's right about the tight  ::) )  and should have given them some I replied If I'd have asked for money when I was a kid I'd the only thing I would have got would have been a thick ear for being cheeky.
Also yes James you are a miserable old b@stard,  ;)but I can understand why.

Try what I did a couple of years ago. When you open the door and they say "trick or treat", you yell TRICK and squirt them with your old bike pump filled with ice cold water. They don't come back after that  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

We have a 12yr old here that wants to go trick or treating on her own... but simply cannot allow it - it's not safe to go knocking on strangers doors anymore - in fact I think allowing a child to do that, could be classed as neglect, especailly knowing the amount of undesirables around here.

And I'm certainly not accompanying, it's darn cold, I have to be up at 5am to travel 200 miles and work on a car all day tomorrow, and I also don't believe in it!

Shame the kids don't seem to understand such consequences  :'(

Silly idea, trick and treat, bar humbug I say, or is that in December...

Doorbell batteries out at 9am this morning (much to Mr Postmans annoyance ;D).  Now, I'm sat upstairs in my office, shouting words along the lines of 'please be so kind as to go away, you lovely children' everything the door goes.
