nixy Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Every year I am good to the local children and i buy lots of sweets and dutifully answer the door every 5 mins. I have to say the trick or treaters are getting older and older............ However, this time trick or treat night is the only night i will get to be on my own all nice and quiet in my living room on my sofa chilling out. SO the question is this - go to tescos and stock up on sweets or turn off all the lights, keep the sweets for myself, ignore the door and chill out on the sofa? Quote
Maccaman Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Enjoy giving to the trick & treaters until, say 9pm, then switch off the lights & chill out. You know you want to be part of the Hallowen event & give to the kids. Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I hate it when they come to my house, I worry that if I hide that they might mess with my car or something Do what I'm doin and go to a party at someone elses house Quote

And the answer is - You get your house egged. If not, then, yeah, do as Tarmac says and go to a party someplace else. As I am doing, and taking my car there with me. At least my mates' house isn't on the outskirts of an estate full of hoodrats! Quote
nixy Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 oh nobody gets egged where i live............its a very small village. I suppose i'll have to do it or the knocking will drive me mad but worse i will feel so GUILTY!! Quote
350 giZ Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Ahhh, don't worry about it!! Pesky Kid: Tick or Treat, Trick or Treat, give me something good to eat! Nixy: You forgot to say 'please'. Here, have a hard-boiled egg!! (Kid runs home in tears) Quote

I told some kids that were far too old to be trick or treating to bugger off, later that night they egged my Lambo Chased them like a demented person for about 2 miles Quote
Vik54 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 We usually shut the shutters switch the lights off and ignore Guysers - this year we will be hiding in the bushes and jumping out as they come down the garden path Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Didn't you catch them ? I would have beaten the living crap out of them if I caught them Quote
350 giZ Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Sounds like you should all get out the Home Alone-style booby traps? If they fail, then hide in that bush with a nail bar in hand. Quote
Husky Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 im with tarmac they would have been actually disfigured! Quote
nixy Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 We usually shut the shutters switch the lights off and ignore Guysers - this year we will be hiding in the bushes and jumping out as they come down the garden path i'm liking that idea, maybe i'll dress up............ Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 im with tarmac they would have been actually disfigured! Thanks mate. Quote
Sarnie Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Didn't you catch them ? I would have beaten the living crap out of them if I caught them Very nearly caught them. I think the fact that I chased them for so long sent a message for them to not do it again. I must have looked like a psycho running shirtless with a mini baseball bat in my hand glad I didn't catch them really in hindsight...... Quote
Stew Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I always buy sweets and then hardly any kids come round! I'm working this year so won't be home until 7.30pm so I doubt I'll get many! I always get my neice and maybe some of her friends and normally my two neighbours. This year there are about a million kids in my street though..... I bet none of them trick or treat though! Nothing ever happened to my house or car, if it starts this year though heads will be rolling. Quote
bronzee Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I like Vik's idea!!! Brilliance!!! The trick is on them. Pesky Kid: Tick or Treat, Trick or Treat, give me something good to eat! Nixy: You forgot to say 'please'. Here, have a hard-boiled egg!! (Kid runs home in tears) Lol, or add in some sour lollies. How mean would that be. Quote
nixy Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 i've caved in and been to tesco this morning for a big bag of lollies - i'm such a softie! Quote
Husky Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 i've caved in and been to tesco this morning for a big bag of lollies - i'm such a softie! Ah you big chicken you now need to build a lolly launcher to fie them at unsuspecting kids Quote
Digsy Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I told some kids that were far too old to be trick or treating to bugger off, later that night they egged my Lambo And that wasn't going to happen... Quote
Pimm Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I told some kids that were far too old to be trick or treating to bugger off, later that night they egged my Lambo And that wasn't going to happen... Thats what i was thinking when reading this Quote
350 giZ Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 i've caved in and been to tesco this morning for a big bag of lollies - i'm such a softie! But, you wouldn't be so soft if you ate the whole bag yourself, now? Quote
zedwagon Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 think weve still got flumps from last year, might be a bit hard by now but i'm sure they don't have a use by date... Quote
Zedrush Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 never too old for trick or treating, nixy im a knocking at your door, I want a ton of sweets Quote
Sarnie Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I told some kids that were far too old to be trick or treating to bugger off, later that night they egged my Lambo And that wasn't going to happen... Thats what i was thinking when reading this I wasn't arsey with them, just said to them "Come on lads your a bit old for this aint ya?" Where I live, people give money instead of sweets so the older kids see it as a way of getting some money to buy cider etc Its ok, i got my Mrs to visit their parents whilst she was at work Quote
