Trick or treat!

Sounds like Beirut out there now, will be ready for prick or treating in no time

I live in a decent area of Arklow, and you can just see all the scummer parents from the bad parts of the town coming to our area in order to get the good sweets. It's blatantly obvious too, it's the sort of parent that isn't fit to have kids.

Regardless, I have two large bags of sweets at the door; One with good sweets for the kids/parents I recognise as being from around here, another with the cheapest Lidl crap (and fruit) I could find for opportunistic bastards.

jesus fking christ... is it hard to come off as such a snobby git or is it something you're well practiced at?

Due to shocking lack of funds, we were faced with a six pack from Aldi or a bag of nuts and apples for the chislers.

We used to make a big fuss and have a witches cave and my wife would dress up and scare the kids, but not this year, we've closed the doors and and saving electricity before we get cut off.

We got extra classes in it in Boarding school.

Had to read that twice, sad.

Opportunistic? At the end of the day the tricker treaters usually are young kids looking to have some fun. A sad and lonely life on the horizon for you anyway. Fooking gowl.

Lidl sweets > name brand stuff

The joys of living in an apartment block with no kids in the area. I suppose if a trick or treater managed to get through the main gates and the locked door into my building, I'd almost feel bad about ignoring their hopeful little knock on my door.

I did my bit though - helped my mum pack up over 50 goodie bags yesterday. She gets loads of callers and gives out great stuff - every bag got crisps, chocolate, lollies and jellies. Was just raging that she didn't get nuts 'cause I'd have stolen a few of them for myself. :mad:

Well la dee fooking da, that's some statement to come out with.

Shove you're ferrero rocher's.

Everyone get a sense of humour by pass today ? I enjoyed his amusing post, the proles obviously feel it cuts a bit close to the bone.

mickydoomsux · 31-10-2011 07:22PM

I bought a **** load of sweets and nary a person in sight.

I live in a new(ish) development in a tiny village with **** all school-age kids so i guess it's hardly surprising, they probably think no one lives here. Wasn't home last year so don't know if it's normal that there's been no one yet.

Pyongyang · 31-10-2011 07:23PM

The kids round here keep throwing bangers in to peoples gardens. Shame the treats being handed out at these doors aren't bangers and some duct tape to their hands. :pac:

Shpuds · 31-10-2011 07:28PM

Used to make a huge fuss previous years but due to lack of funds, I spent the money on two bottles of wine. Someones got to think of the children, but it's not me!

I agree with you tbh, we used to get this a few years ago, especially for the wren on st stephens day.
parents would drive the kids around, some of them would be from miles away. I would not like to take it out on the kids but the kids I know would get more money.

Twee. · 31-10-2011 07:28PM

Have only had one group so far, and that was the little girl from across the road being brought around by her brother and his mates!

Ah well, more mini Crunchies and Time Outs for me.

Back in the good old days we'd have trick or treaters for hours! Used to do home made cup cakes with black and orange frosting.

Abi · 31-10-2011 07:28PM

First knock at about 5 I think, hasn't stopped since. I don't mind answering them for as long as the stuff lasts, after that it's lights out and then I set the dogs on them.

Jesus, when I was a nipper we used to have to do the whole trick or treat rhyme, I was pissed about them shortening it to trick or treat, some of them aren't even doing that anymore. I just had a little bollix at the door, bout ten I'd say. He just rocks up to the door and looks at me. Well I wasn't having that, made him say the whole thing.

Some are polite. Others are indifferent or just plain ignorant. The nice ones are getting more.

Live in england now, one kid has knocked so far!

Looking forward to hearing from my sister about the house they knocked in last year that gave her little one a tin of condensed milk! Another neighbours kid got a tin of sardines!

The family are not from Ireland originally, but I thought it was extremely good of them to raid their cupboards unprepared, again and again, especially when some Irish folk lock their houses up for the night!

jam_mac_jam · 31-10-2011 07:35PM

We had to go round and get more, we ran out. There are millions of kids around here. I think they are finished now though.

phasers · 31-10-2011 07:41PM

I just brought my Nephew trick or treating and only one feckin neighbour opened their door, even though most of their horrible kids were around at my house about 20 minutes ago.

miserable bastards.

Same here, ours are gone already, not as much as a sniff of a malteser for meself... :P

Novella · 31-10-2011 07:53PM

I live in the middle of nowhere so don't get trick or treaters.

Cicero · 31-10-2011 08:23PM

Is spaghetti bolognaise acceptable?..I have quite a lot left over from dinner and don't want it to go to waste?

I am running out again, they keep coming. Hundreds of them.

Saila · 31-10-2011 08:26PM

thank this if you actually like or liked nuts as kids or ever

Saila · 31-10-2011 08:26PM

nuts = yuck!

Son Of A Vidic · 31-10-2011 08:27PM

Well OP my nearest neighbour lives a couple of hundred meters away and the German Shepherds in my garden I suspect may act as a disincentive to uninvited guests.

Trick or treat!
