Class One Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Well I live in a small village where nearly veryone knows evryone without it being a webbed toes, three eyes kind of place. Mostly its young kids who trick or treat and only knock on the doors of people they know. Never really had a problem here. However, at work its very different when you have gangs of marauding yoofs who thinks its perfectly acceptable to criminally damage your house/garden/car etc. I'm not a great fan these days and I'll deal heavily (but fairly!) with anyone i catch.

tonyhawk Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I live in east London, and Unfortunately the trick or treaters are not the cute 8 year olds dressed in a Woolworths costume, but a bunch of 15 year old, Burberry cap wearing, sovereign flashing twats, who turn up and say "trik or treet". Hmmm, of late I have been adopting the 'open door, look pi$$ed off and say in a not so subtle and aggressive way:' "What?" before they've opened their mouths. Granted, being 6' 6" and quite wide does help when I put across this message of not being overly happy about being drawn away from my favourite telly prog, to answer the door to a bunch of idiots trying to find a source of income before they can officially sign on, but hey..

Ark Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I hate the little buggers - I'll tolerate the kids from my street (there's only three or four of them) because they're of a suitable age, and I know they'll appreciate anything I give them. It's the gangs of kids working the whole neighbourhood that piss me off. It's not even like it's a British thing, it's entirely an American import. Some berk even asked me the other day "Isn't it a bank holiday on Monday, being halloween?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I hate it. I always make sure I'm out on Halloween and don't come back until late. Last year some of the older kids knocked on my door at gone 11:00pm - cheeky feckers. I just politely said I didn't have anything to give them and was about to go to bed anyway. I'm staying round the girlfriend's tonight. Her house has a long driveway with a lockable gate at the end. Bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I can't stand Halloween, I resent feeling like I have to hide from some nasty little (or not so little) snot buckets who will take revenge on my car when I don't capitulate to their blackmailing attempts. Bah Humbug. Tonight will be spent hiding in the dark so that they think we've gone out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I love the whole Halloween thing, but we live in a 'difficult to find' flat - which would be bliss for you lot... we never get any round! I've got two nieces (aged 2 and 5) who always dress up in witches’ outfits and charm the hell out of everyone in their road about this time... but I live 300 miles away from them (sob)... but hopefully I'll still get my camera phone pictures though... ! Come on, it's for the kids... etc. OK, one other point.. whilst I'm rambling randomly.. Anyone else used to hollow out turnips trick or treating (very American phase in my view) in the seventies...? perhaps it’s a northern thing? the people in my office laughed their heads off when I told them... I thought it was only in the last ten years shops have started selling pumpkins..? am I going mad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 So I pressume you lot never went around trick or treating as kids. It hadn't been thought of when I was a kid Trick or Treat in this country is a fairly recent import from America, just one more of their crap things inflicted on us Hell, when I was a kid We (me and my brother) weren't even allowed to do penny for the guy, my Mum considered it begging TBH I don't mind the little kids, its the ones that want to trash your car/garden/house etc. that I'd like to hang up by the balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on the older ones causing mischief, but the young uns tend to come with their parents I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Agreed - I also enjoyed it as a small child, but we made masks, we didn't just buy the generic mass-produced rubbish from the 'occasions' card shops. We also only visited the houses of people we were friends with, not every house in a ten mile radius. And we hollowed out a swede, not a turnip (or pumpkin, obviously). Gonna go be super-fit at the gym all evening I think - gets me and the car safely away from the house - saddly not as good as the bedroom idea...

Faye Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 So I pressume you lot never went around trick or treating as kids. Nope. Mum wouldn't let me as she considered it begging, at the time I couldn't see her point at the time but I certainly can now. I also don't think she wanted me going round to random peoples houses - never know what could happen. I remember a couple of kids coming around to my mum and dads one halloween and were told to "sling their hook" next thing we know something was thrown at the window - what would they have done if it had broken? I can't imagine how much the elderly dread this time of year when they get people "harmlessly" coming round menancing them for sweets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chiefvinso Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 begging - lol, suppose you dont celebrate xmas or birthdays or easter etc. Sounds like stuck up snobbery to me and parents with a chip on their shoulder. Agreed that now there are some wrong types out there doing the wrong thing, thats prob down to the parents tho too. Hope this forum doesnt get into the festive spirit at xmas!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Its pretty dark where we live so not many ever venture our way. For those that do I have a theatrical mask of a very old man. I answer the door in the dark and turn the out side light on and make vile noises. It usually results in a scream or two. A couple of years ago one kid dropped his bag of sweets he was in such a hurry to get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
