So how do you deal with the hoards of little money grabbing sh*ts who knock the door every 5 mins wearing one crappy plastic false face between five of them and call you a tight fu*ker if you dont give each of them money?
Christ, they dont even make the effort to dress up.
So how do you get rid of them?

 

Hope its a freezing night and give them ice poles!!

 

I get a huge bag of sweets to hand out to the little cherubs. Luckily, for the last 3 years we've only had a maximum of about 4 kids pitch up, so they get a sherbert dip each, and I spend the rest of the evening scoffing the leftovers.

 

Launch the dog at the little gits!

 

Melt a packet of ExLax down into a square of chocolate that looks just like Galaxy. Yum yum.

 

Live in a appartment block with entry phone and ignore the little "darlings"!

Or do what my neighbour did last year and super soaker the lot of them!

 

I find that going to the pub on halloween and making the other half deal with it is best

 

MarkO has the right idea - get in a big bag of sweets that you can dish out. By all means send em packing but nowdays they are likely to stick their boot into your car door as they wonder past.

We were out one year & came back late at night to find pumpkin smeared all over our front door.....charming little people.

I hate kids! annoying little things!

 

Just don't answer the door! It is the easiest way, oh and make sure they know that you are in!!!

Don't get me wrong. The big bag of sweets with 80% left over at the end of the evening is a purely selfish plan.
Yep. When I used to go trick-or-treating we used to regularly 'trick' by spraying peoples' front doors with water and then lobbing a flour bomb at the soaked area. We even managed to get a couple of well-thrown eggs in through the bedroom window of a guy who was trying to ambush us and chuck a bucket of water out onto us.

But the little tossers nowadays seem to think 'trick' means the same as 'vandalise'. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

The ones 'round our place are'nt interested in sweets - cash only!!And none of those 5 or 10p's thanks.
Tried ignoring them once, but got spotted so they just persisted.....annoying.

 

Same as MarkO. We get a bowl and fill it with different sweets and hand these out to any callers. Most of the children who call are in really good outfits. Make up, costumes and props! Some are even escorted by their parent's who stay in the back round keeping an eye on them. I think that if they go to a lot of trouble to make an effort, then I don't mind them calling. We've never had any trouble from them.

Also, we get to eat all the left overs as well

 

You mean I'm supposed to hand out the sweets the wife buys at this time every year ?. Little gits can go and get a job and buy their own

Deano

 

I would gladly give out grub, especially to those who make the effort with costumes, but the wee turds 'round our way are charlatan trick or treaters who've hijacked the good name of Halloween!

 

Don't be so miserable, enter the spirit of things - they're just wee nippers like you were once

 

Stage 1. Hide the Car
Stage 2. Buy a couple of bags of Haribo
Stage 3. Get loads of Haribo left over from last year
Stage 4. Dish out old Haribo to kids
Stage 5. Have an early night.

Even had fecking carol singers round the other night....

I detest Trick or treat. Extorsion. Give us goodies or we trash the car/windows/garden etc etc. Carol singers are nearly as bad, and they last longer.

 

Carol singer are worse. I'd rather have my windows smashed and my car torched than have to listen to a load of sandal-clad god-squad bible-bashers warbling about some bloke 20 centuries ago who I don't even believe existed. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

Lol MarkO!
jlanng, lend us some money. We get countless numbers of calls every night. After a while it gets a bit tedious - especially when I suspect it's repeat calls. Cheeky monkeys. **** off.

 

Arsenic.

 

Ignoring the blighters does not neccesarily work, I tried this theory last year and it resulted in my house getting "egged".
Window cleaner was none to chuffed when he came round the next day
The next kids that chapped on the door got 50p each. The were absolutly delighted and ran telling all other kids in the street that I was coughing up cash. Still glad that 50p means something to the mobile phone generartion of kids today

I sound like an old man now I'm only 28

 

LOL @ MarkO

 

BTW, no offence to any religious nutters who might be reading, eh?

 

Every year I lock the porch door and ignore them knocking (luckily haven't got a bell).

Tracey

 

This one's easy.

When they knock on the door and say 'trick or treat', you say 'Treat, please.' They have to give you their sweets/cash, you shut the door and everyone's happy.

Obvious, really

 

Can't stand Trick or Treating.. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] Fappin' begging door-to-door. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Something else gleaned from America that can **** off back there... [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

(The SCALE of T&T'ing, I mean)

 

Hong Kong Phooey: email me yr address and I'll post you a fun-size bag of malteasers

 

LOL @ Maz - although it needs to be something sufficiently slow acting that they can't work out exactly whose house it came from

Personally I treat the occasion as an excuse to take the car and head down the pub for the evening. Alternatively I just turn out all the lights that are visible from the front of the house and retreat into my lounge, which (fortunately) is below ground level as seen from the front (I live on a steep hill).

If I didn't have the scooby parked on the drive then it would be eggs and flour bombs all the way, though - I can jet wash the drive, but you can't jet wash a 12 yr old... (now, there's a thought!)

A.

 

we always park the car so close to the front door that you can't get to it works perfectly, although getting into the house is a bit difficult


kev

 

Kids round here are pretty nice, all in all, and make an effort. We buy a couple of bags of fun size mars bars, crunchies, etc. Anyone that knocks can have a couple from the bowl.

You bunch of miserable *******!
