    Just spent 15 euro buying sweets in lidl for trick n treaters. I have made up 24 little bags (clingfilm wraps to be precise).

    Well, the doorbell has just rang for the first of many times tonight and there were seven ankle biters outside. SEVEN!!!

    I'm down to 17 clingfilm wraps already.

    Remember them as best you can. They might try and sneak back later for seconds.

    Apartments FTW ... no knocks, don't expect any.

    I bought a load of Haribo sweets and fun-sized bars, just in case any kids call. I'd hate to be seen as 'that' neighbour who doesn't answer the door. As long as they don't sing, I'm happy enough. I hate the sound of children singing. Just take the sweets and fuck off.

    Bought loads of sweets ( half were eaten today) but so far had only one group of 4 kids, still loads of sweets left and my own little girls are ready to eat them all if no more trick or treaters come to our house :-D

    We've had 10 kids in the past half hour.:eek: We're almost through the jumbo sack of crisps but have a bowl of chocolate bars and sweets left but it's only 6pm.

    Yep. Just had a bucket load here.
    Flying through my supplies!!

    I actually set a reminder on my phone to get sweets on the way home for any trick or treaters.

    I ignored it. Sorry kids!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,320 ✭✭✭sunbabe08


    i'm ignoring them. i have no treats for them. although what ever happened to knocking at the door? some of them are trying to press down the handle of the door


  • Registered Users Posts: 898 ✭✭✭OREGATO


    Ah, it's a bit if fun. We've had around 4 groups so far..

    I made a mistake with the first and sort of just gave them loads.. so half the supply is well gone!

    No harm :)

    Anyone over 10yrs old can go jump....go rob a car or something :rolleyes:

    No trick or treaters for the first time. Most of my road consists of the older generation , I don't think a lot of people bother bringing their kids around here because no one gives them anything nice...

    Just had a bunch of kids call. One of them dressed as a Galway hurler

    I was like "ha ha that's not really scary"

    he goes "it will be when I kick your head in"

    the lad was about 7. Kids, eh?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,207 ✭✭✭EazyD


    I've just ran out of sweets after the last group, much busier this year

    No treats here, only tricks.

    *door bell* *knocking sound*

    I open the door

    "Suprise butt sex!" I shout.

    *throws ice cold bucket of water over kids*

    "You just participated in the Halloween ice bucket challenge" I say.

    *gives a bag of sprouts*

    *slams door*

    Help! I am trapped . . . I completely forgot to get anything for Trick or Treaters . . .

    Now I am indoors upstairs with lights off but need to go out soon . . .

    I am afraid that the whole neighbourhood will think I am a mean old so-and-so . . .

    Genuinely forgot . . .

    My 2-year old knows there's something going on, but can't quite figure it out!

    Open door swiftly - group of kids there

    Pull in 6 year old

    Slam door shut

    Pause for 20 seconds

    Open door and throw out €5 novelty skeleton.

    Those pesky kids won't be coming to my door again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,436 ✭✭✭c_man


    Doorbell went, opened it up expecting some kids but instead there's a chugger from Enable Ireland. "Trick or treat! Ha, now have you thought about donating..." What a cnut. Hope the kids egg him or at the very least pull the piss about it being a crap costume or some such.

    Most embarassing moment? Opening the door on Trick or Treat night and automatically putting sweets in the bag and closing the door...on the guy delivering the Chinese takeaway we'd ordered.
