Wouldn't it be cool ... every time they come a knocking on your door this 31st October ... and say 'trick or treat' ...

You say 'trick' and immediately play a trick on them ... spray them with silly string or something (am sure you can come up with something better).

Sod tradition ... trick or treaters are there for your ammusment !!!

Once answered the door to them with a meat cleaver dripping with blood (fake) held at chest height and mad staring eyes :shocked: greeted them with a yes what do you want? Trick or treat they said,i just stood there knife in hand staring at them,they **** themselves:D
Was funny at the time,i would probably be arrested today though.

Set traps, poor water, throw things, scare, intimidate and do just about anything to stop them coming back. We've not had any for a few years now.

Perhaps a return to traditional values of castle defence....

Boiling oil, lead, chamber pots.....

Alternatively, just spray some white powder and yell 'Anthrax'....

:)

These are all to complicated, i stick to the tried and tested method of razor blades in the apples i give them.

And if any little **** is thinking of coming to my house IT’S NOT AN URBAN MYTH

these all sound quite fun but come on there's nothing wrong with a few younger kids (I mean under 10) going around having fun asking for sweets.

by all means play tricks on the thieving teenagers that should have grown out of it :P

Probably the best thing to do is make sure all your curtains are shut, keep the lights low and the TV on quietly.
One elderly woman up the road from me told some teenagers to 'clear off' last year, in the morning she discovered the little 'angels' had spray painted her house with the word 'witch'.
I think I'll go to the pub for the evening.

Alternatively, block your driveway off so none of the little gits can get to your front door.

Barbed Wire and Land Mines optional.

Sorry but I don't agree.

Why should I have to keep getting up and answering the door (well, I don't actually but there you go...) to someone's little brats that I don't know and give them something?

What happened to the right to enjoy a bit of privacy? Its only a bloomin' American thing anyway.

Well the pit is dug ... all I need now are some nice stout bamboo stalks that I can whittle while enoying a glass of wine - maybe a nice chianti. :evil:

... Are pellet guns illegal?

Seriously though, I'm not going out and spending money on sweets to help the fat little funkers around our way to get fatter... And if any of the little ****** do anything to our house or our cars, I'll be round at their house the following night...

ASBO permitting, of course.

What about inserting Senokot into their sweets? At least they'd lose some weight.

Call your Family/Friends ask if any of them are thinking about coming over that evening... If so what times etc... so you know when to anser the door ;)

If no~one is coming over and you know your not expecting any visitors... take the batteries outta the door bell (if you have one:? )... If the door gets knocked by the little Spooks ignore it and have a great evening... :lol:

Relax! ahhhhhhhhh!!!

ps dont forget to replace the batteries tho the next morning or before ya go to bed ;)

I was never allowed to go Trick or Treating as a kid as my Parents always thought it was a way of Begging...

These days i dont agree with it as i feel it is unsafe for children to be roaming the streets...

Although where i used to live the parents used to hide behind the bushes and let the Children have their fun...

I only knew this as i would never answer the door lol and would look out of the bedroom window...

I know i'm a meany... but you open the door and give sweeties to one group... they spread word to the others coming round... So your jumping up and down like an idiot :lol:

My brother and I went trick or treating as kids and one bloke told us to "come back next week".

To cut a long story short, we did and my brother got clouted.

Ooops! now thats what ya call a trick! ;) :lol:

this is the other way around, but when we were kids we knocked on this right miserable gits door in my street.....who told us to "f*** off"

My mate got a paper bag, put loads of dog sh*t in it, then set it on fire on his doorstep. Then we knocked and watch him stamp it out......sh*t all over his shoes and up his legs.

We were lovely children.

Quite simply, no.

As Angel05 said, its tantamount to begging and why should I or anyone else have to be bothered?

Your all so miserable, where I don't agree with teenagers going round knocking on doors, and generally causing trouble.

What is wrong with having some sweets ready for the 5/6 old who has made an effort to dress up and has their parents with them waiting at the gate?

jesus christ what a miserable sod. its just a bit of fun you know, not all of them are actually intent on egging your house, and its not begging, its just for fun.

stil, i enjoy tricking the trickers. last year i was at my friends house and they came trick or treating, so i ran out the side door with my head covered holding a butchers knife shouting "STOP STEALING MY ******* SWEETS"

that scared them

Because, like everything else, it's been hijacked by scrounging teenagers, who'll not only bang on the door, but are liable to smear it in excrement when all you give them is a few boiled sweets.

Plus if you've been at work all day, the last thing you'll want to do all evening is be getting up to answer the door every five minutes.

Why don't the parents just buy their kids a bucketload of sweets and keep them away from our house?!

I don't have children for the simple reason that the little ******s drive me mad, therefore I don't want someone else's taking up my time.

This year I might put some piano wire across the steps outside our house. I might only get one or two, but it'll be well worth it.

I really really wanna say something but it is pointless...

Like a broken compass?

I have a lockable front gate, and a lockable back gate!

Say no more:thumbsup:

agree totally, it's only once a year anyway stop being miserable.

what about the other parts of halloween, the parties in town ;) cheap drinks :D

When I was little my dad used to dress up in a mask and cape ( at halloween), when the trick or treaters used to come and knock on the door my dad used to sneak out the back when we answered the front, when we were giving them sweets my dad used to jump out at the them, the look on thier faces used to be so funny! Many of them would run off down the drive and we would have to call them back for thier sweets!

I think it's something I'll do when I eventually get around to having kids, it makes their night fun without having to go treat and treating too!

Hmm, I think I'll just have my groundsman stop them at the gatehouse.

I did it myself as a kid and enjoyed it. I like to see kids having fun.

I'm very generous to the kids and never have to worry about any tricks.

Whats this about sweets????????

They only seem to want money so they can go and buy fireworks to annoy everybody with.:rant:

They start coming round a fortnight before the proper night and act dumb (I think its an act) when you challenge them about it.

Then its fireworks and then its carol singers. It won't stop now until after Christmas.:help:

What miserable buggers. All you have to do is hand over a few sweets, its hardly taxing is it?

I agree that kids at a certain age are just annoying when they do it (aged around 12+, and they've stopped even trying to dress up) but little kids who put the effort in are lovely.

Chris.
