I've never had anybody knock on my door. If some !!!!er tricked me because they're arrogant enough to think that's OK then I hope they get mauled by next door's dog.

Not everybody is part of the TorT culture. You should clear it with people whose doors you're going to knock on first.

I won't be buying things in just in case for the first time ever somebody knocks on my door. That's not very MSE.

Goodness, I didn't expect this reply :eek:

To clarify pasturesnew, I have 7 children, 5 of whom are "old/able enough" to go trick or treating, 1 is severley disabled (13), and 1 is only 12 weeks old yesterday , this will only be their 2nd time trick or treating EVER as we are lucky enough to live in a street that welcomes it :j

I would never ever ever ever dream of letting my children be that devious or nasty, if they even mentioned that I would be horrified and they would not be allowed to go out.

I just wanted some nice childish funny pranks for an 11, 8, 6, 5 and 2 yr old, that's all, in case someone said "trick", I didn't mean to offend anyone

I've never seen or done any trick or treating. I thought they banged on the door and you opened the door and gave them something or other. And if you didn't they egged your house or something.

I didn't know there was a choice.

So I always wondered if they egged the houses of everybody they THOUGHT was in. e.g. when a light was left on to deter burglars, or what if you were in the shower soaping your bits and didn't even hear the door. As I've no experience of the practice I thought it was very unfair and rude.

That's generally just scumbag teenagers. Trick-or-treaters are usually small children who dress up and go from door to door for treats. It's just a bit of fun, the "tricks" are as scary/nasty as a knock-knock joke is funny. I used to trick-or-treat until I was in my early teens as I was charged with looking after my younger brothers on the night.

Sadly as we got older it became a bit of a horrible night as the teenagers (my peers) used to go out egging. They used to even egg the smallies, the first year I didn't take my brothers they got egged. And the egging wasn't just confined to Halloween, it went on from the end of Sept to mid-Nov. I remember when I was 20 being chased by teens with eggs while I was on my way to a nightclub. And I lived in a nice middle-class area.

I'd like to see the stocks re-introduced for those little Halloween ruining !!!!!. I love Halloween.

my nan got flour thrown at her door one halloween and i was terrified for her we also got fake blood on our white upvc one year was a !!!!!! to get off.

the little kids are lovely doing it, its the horrid teenagers (similarly to the horrible teenage carol singers who are cack and just want money!)

we had a halloween do a few years ago and decided that we'd keep an eye out for people coming to the door (as we mostly knew them as they are neighbours). kept the hall in darkness, doorbell goes, we open the door and go "raaaaaaaa" at them dead loud. well it was hilairous! one 'horrid teen in poor costume' nearly cacked himself as he ran away and fell over, most had seen us behind the glass door and laughed - certainly was a trick for them haha!! (it did backfire once as we saw a big shadow, assumed it was an adult/teen and it was a tiny tiny tiny little girl with the mum standing behind, we hadnt seen her and nearly frightened the poor thing half to death, felt so bad after that we stopped raaring at people - still the horrid teen falling was hilarious!!)

A couple of years ago - feeling in a particularly mischevious mood - my neighbours children knocked on the door and said 'Trick or Treat'.

You should have seen their faces when I said "oooh treat please" :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Thanks for the tip, I've been using it all night.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I have an idea, just ask for treats. If they have some and they won't give, they say 'trick', they're refilling, they only have cookies or anything... Swing your arm over with a water gun pointing to the person and say summin' like this, "If you don't give me/us anything right now, I will squirt this in your face". Nice idea? You won't get arrested by police, won't make too much of a fright and you can shoot because it's WATER. :cool:
