Rude Trick or Treaters!

[Jugernot]

Man, kids today just take the cake. We had a kids last night say:

Kid: Hi.
My wife: Happy Halloween! (hands him 4-5 fun sized snickers, twix, etc.)
Kid: Whatever...... can I have some more?!?!?
Wife: No, I just gave you like 4-5 peices.
Kid: I just want the whole thing... give it to me. (at this point, he starts to reach inside our doorway and grab the candy.)
Wife: NO! Please leave! (closes the door on him.)

10 minutes later

Kid #2: Trick or Treat
Wife: Happy Halloween!
Kid #2: More candy please!
Wife: Ummm, no, I already gave you 4-5 peices.
Kid #2: I got better candy next door...
Wife: Ok, well go next door again then. Have a good night.
Kid #2: Meanie!!!

WWWTTTTFFFF???? This same thing happens with one more kid. These freakin kids are get free candy and they complain? It's not like we're giving out cheapo generic candy, it's the good stuff.

My wife says the good kids (which were the majority) override the assholes, but I don't see it that way. Luckily I wasn't home because I would have broken the first kids hands at the wrist if he reached inside my doorway and tried to take the candy!

Anyway, I don't think we're giving out candy next year. Kids aren't worth the F$#kin effort anymore...

This world is going to hell in a handbasket!

I got ONE cute set of kids. They were...maybe 5 years old, dressed as lions and tigers, and they were adorable.

Then I got a bunch of 15-17 year olds who didn't even dress up. Needless to say, turned the lights off and went upstairs.

Tell them you will give them more candy if they tell you their Parent's names, then own them by slamming the door and call their parents.

Dude, don't get me started on Halloween. I work inside a mall as a T-Mobile sales rep. half my pay is commission, so I was already pissed off about handing candy out to the lines of kids that were coming through our store as I was trying to help customers. I can understand why parents take their kids to malls to tricker or treat, but I'm in the middle of a fucking conversation with a customer and kids keep interrupting me for fucking candy. And to top it off I saw many 'kids' that were old enough to drive, aka THEY SHOULDN'T BE FUCKING TRICK OR TREATING GOD DAMNIT....

 

[Hoober]

We actually had 4 or 5 kids come trick or treating on Monday. Doorbell rings and there's 4 kids standing there with masks on holding bags. I wasn't sure if I was about to get mugged or what.

Them: Trick or treat.
Me: Uh, you're two days early.
Them: C'mon! We're leaving for Africa!
Me: I don't have any candy. Halloween's in two days. Bye.

So I come home from taking my kid out last night and my wife tells me the same kids were back last night mooching for more candy.

 

[trmiv]

We had a few groups of kids that didn't dress up. I also had this one girl that was probably 14-15 that showed up alone, no costume that I could tell, yapping on her cell phone as she walked up. She walks up still yapping "Oh really girl, what did you say then?", and opens her huge purse for me to throw the candy in. LOL.

 

[Tiamat]

instead of giving them treats, give them trick and spray their face with silly string! Or, just leave an empty bowl outside your front door with "please take one candy" note inside.

 

[Jugernot]

Ok, the problem with telling the kids to F-OFF or yelling at them is the possibility of them egging the house, etc.

No respect.

 

[teclis1023]

LOL @ Tiamat.

"Trick or Treat!"
"Trick, b1tches!" SPRAY!

Even if you don't do anything to piss them off, they could still do it. Heck, some a-hole threw an egg at my car 2 summers ago while I was away for the weekend. My parents didn't notice the egg on the back window, so when I got back, it was baked on and I had to use a razer blade to scrape it off. Halloween is just a worse for this kind of crap because people suddenly feel that it's okay to vandalize other's property.

That's my trick!

As for the kids with no manners, they suck and their parents need to raise them better. Try not to let those bad apples ruin Halloween for all of the other kids though. Most of them are not like that and the idea of too many houses not participating in Halloween is a really sad thought to me since I loved that holiday as a kid and I want my child to enjoy it too. Afterall, it's only one night a year.

I went out with my kid last night and it was his first time trick or treating. I had a blast! There was even one couple sitting outside on their drive way handing out candy to the kids and free miniature cans of beer to the parents hehe. It made me really happy to see that some neighborhoods still have a lot of holiday spirit

You get no sympathy from me for being interrupted by some kids going trick or treating at your mall one night of the year. T-Mobile and other cell phone sales reps have interrupted me as I am walking through the mall minding my own business countless times as they ask me what cell phone company I am with as if I want to tell them. Cell phone reps are very pushy in the malls I go to and I cannot stand it when any sales rep approaches me before I approach them unless all they want to say to me is "Can I help you?" while I am staring at their products. Instead, they practically block my path as I am walking past by sticking their arms out with fliers and trying to pull me next to their stands. I know you guys are just doing your job and all, but I really do hate all of you and your company's business practice. I used to enjoy window shopping so much more before all of these sales reps and multi level marketing carts in the middle of the aisles have polluted the malls.

Don't just not give out candy next year, get some laxative candy ready.

 

[mobobuff]

The rules of candy-giving...

1. The kid made a decent attempt to dress up.
2. The kid appears to be younger than 13 years old.
3. The kid speaks the proper words, "Trick or Treat", when you greet them.

If one or two of these rules are not met, you hand them a treat from a secondary bowl, usually supplied with; apples, pencils, erasers, and candy that nobody likes (Black and Orange Turds, Bit-O-Honey, unwrapped peanut-brittle, Circus Peanuts, Caramel Creams)

If none of the rules are met, you ignore the kid. You can also prepare a third bowl for these deviants, filled with; pennies, paperclips, cotton-swabs, q-tips, makeup sponges, and discarded toiletries.

Keep an airsoft pistol handy for any potential eggers. A one-pump BB gun if you're feeling vigilant.

I was prepared for the worst, but was completely taken aback. All the adults were out on their porches with fully decorated lawns handing out candy. Someone set up a mini-haunted house inside their house and was inviting the little kids in, I saw multiple families with cauldrons and dry ice set up and one even set out dozens of jars with labels like "frog's breath" and "witches' hair". The decorations were phenomenal.

Not only that, but there were hundreds of kids in the 3-9 range with fantastic costumes who all said "trick-or-treat!" and politely took one or two pieces of candy without me even having to hand it to them.

Fortunately, I do live in an area where it really goes off on Halloween and people really get into it, but I was truly taken aback at how nice everyone was and how the entire community participated. I feel like it's a dying holiday with Americans always so afraid that terrorists are somehow going to put poison in their kids' candy, but last night was totally awesome, and I hope it's half as good next year.

My favorite thing is how Cell phone reps dress up like they're going to a club, with the fake tans and the spiked hair and glitzy button shirts.

If every neighborhood did this, America would be a much better place. It's these kinds of little things that make all the difference. Communities of people that take the time to celebrate the holidays with this kind of spirit are often the same people who raise great families, are extremely nice to everyone, and are usually willing to be patient and lend a helping hand when another neighbor is in need.

These traditions should never be lost.

Those are not T-Mobile reps. Those are employees of third-party companies that have contracts with T-Mobile to allow their companies to sell our phones and plan. T-Mobile does not operate any stands. An official, company-operated T-Mobile operation will always be a true store, not a cart in the middle of a mall walkway.

I thoroughly disagree. I was a Trick-or-Treat aficionado when I was a tike. I know the ins-and-outs.

You probably know better than I do, but it is still T-Mobile's business practice. Many companies use third party sales reps and distributors that are not pressured to market the products this way. Others are forced to do it if they want to keep their job. In any case, the problem is there and it pisses me off. Malls used to more fun before this trend in business.

We don't have any control over the business practices of our third-party sales partners. In fact, I would bet that marketing doesn't even know that these partners are that annoying. Honestly, when people do things like that, I would suggest finding out what actual company they work for and then calling T-Mobile to complain about that partner's practice.

I didn't get any trick or treaters at all. I live in the boonies though.

 

[anxi80]

young kids ill give them a few pieces. maybe a handful if its a really good costume with originality and/or every extreme detail was put into the costume.

for older kids i give them a choice since im usually buying a grab bag of candy so they can pick what they like. but its a 'take one or take none' policy. for older kids who dont dress up and stick out an albertson's bag and expect candy, i use the 'drop-the-small-2-pack-of-sweetarts-into-your-bag-and-pull-out-some-candy-for-myself' technique. i almost didnt have to use it this year, but a a group of older kids showed up at 9:15 and one kid pulled the whole no dress up/grocery bag-out look so he had it coming.

 

[lokiju]

The packs of preteens/early teens are the worst IMO.

About 3 different groups of them came by and none of them except the girls sometimes even try dressing up and they just demand candy.

One of the kids was bitching saying "man I hate M&M's" how in the hell are you going to complain about getting candy for free when you're clearly to old to be asking and don't even dress up? WTF?

Another kid says "we're the last ones for the night so just give us all your candy" how about go fvck yourself?!!??! is what I'm thinking.

But of course these little shits will egg your house if you don't give them something at least.

The little kids with their parents all dressed up more than make up for it though, it's so funny/cute seeing them.
