Anxious about answering door on Halloween?

[DillJenkins]

I worry aboot answering said door on Halloween.

Its like a part of me want to be nice and answer the door and give the children candies, but another part of me just wants to stay in my room.

Just put a bowl outside with some candies...

 

[Nack]

But, there a chance they'll just take the bowl :\ Either way your job is done, lawl.

Or turn out the lights, that usually is a sign that you're not "participating."

Anomoly we have deployed that tactic quite a few times here lmao.

With relative success? I suppose you can resort to temporarily shutting down your doorbell if that doesn't work.

Yeah it worked great. Even before my issues arose i still never really was into the whole trick or treating thing.

Yeah, I opted out of Halloween.

We had about 50 kids knock between 5 and now (9:30pm). I was the only one in so I was up and down the stairs from my comp to the door all the freaking time. The funniest one was this kid who rang the doorbell and when I opened he didn't say anything, just stood there looking at me in his mask lol. Gave out milkyway's, milkyway stars and toffees this year.

Just shine it on. Kids will still get lots of candy, your little bit wont matter. Its up to you whether you wanna bother or not. I personally just ignore the whole thing.

No its always on halloween and starts right when it gets dark and lasts all night really.

Yes, I'm even afraid of children. Although it's been unusually calm around here today. Usually it starts around 1:30 and pretty much tails off after dark, with some of the older kids coming until about 8:30. But between the elementary school down the street having closed, it raining on and off all day, and the Phillies game tonight, it's been pretty dead this year.

I guess I'll just have to eat these Peanut Butter Cups, Kit-Kats, and Skittles myself.
