What is up with the lazy ass...

Seriously. It's fine with me if they are polite and have a cute costume but otherwise, buy your own damn candy. This teenage girl came to our door tonight TALKING ON HER CELL PHONE, told her friend to hold on, and then said "trick or treat." When we gave her a (small) piece of candy, she got back on the phone and told the person they could go on.

Last Halloween I was helping out at my in laws chinese restaurant. I gave soy sauce packets and hot mustard instead of fortune cookies to teenagers that didn't wear costumes. It was hilarious.

LOL! I actually felt bad shpwing up trick or treating but I must say I did have a cute costume!! So I felt better! Plus, everyone was nice to me, so I guess they didnt mind me!

That's pathetic. Aren't they supposed to be out TP-ing houses? Or was that just me and my friends?

(we weren't meanies - we only did it to our friends as a joke...)

I went with my friends... (we're all 17 and 18).

But I dressed up as a ballerina and I did little dance steps when I got candy. But I swear, this was my last year!

I saw a bunch of them last night in my neighborhood, I think they must have come from the outlying 'hoods because I am pretty sure there aren't that many teens living in my neighborhood.

Most of them were in large groups where like, one kid was dressed up in costume and the rest were just following around. It seemed like a big social event, there were kids yelling back and forth to each other across streets. One kid even walked into my house and asked for a drink of water!! Glad I ran out of candy by 7:15, I could hear them outside until past 8.

It's hard to remember being a lazy teenager and I feel so ancient being annoyed by them. I was nice to them because I know my friends and I probably annoyed plenty of adults in our day.

We had a few teenagers with lame costumes... two girls came to the door as siamese (sp?) twins. One girl rester her head on the other girls shoulder and they wrapped their arms around each other although creative, it wasn't a costume. The worst trick-or-treaters we had were a little girl and her mother. When my dad answered the door my nephew went with him to help give the kids candy (he's three). The girl looked at my nephew and said "eww"... she was probably 7 or 8, old enough to know better, I think. Her mom didn't say anything, and the girl just held out her pillowcase waiting for candy... no "trick or treat" or anything. And then, get this, her mom held out a pillowcase too! There were no other kids waiting by the street or anything, so it wasn't for another one of her children, it was for herself! My dad gave her one piece of candy (I think it was a tootsie roll or something else kind of lame) and neither one of them said thank you, they just walked away. Ugh

Ok, end rant and hijack

Well, we had some teenagers in creative costumes, and that was fine. They were polite. It's the kid who can't make ANY effort and is rude that bugs me. We had plenty of big kids just come up to the door and hold their bags out w/o saying anything. I ask them "what do you say?" before I give them candy. I had a 40 year-old ( I guess) lady come to the door. I HOPE she was doing it for a kid. My husband and I just laughed. She didn't say a word.

I was just floored at the amount of kids in our neighborhood last night. They were crawling out of the woodwork! I went through 2 of the HUGE bags of candy from Costco!

I didn't think we would get any trick-or treaters since the houses are not close together. I guess they assume they get full size candy bars or something because it's definintly not worth the walk from each house to get a little candy. I didn't have ANY candy, no decor outside, not even a lit walking path. I think that made it pretty obvious to stay away. But by the time I got home it was later in the evening and we had three high school kids show up- no costumes. I did have a coupon book for free frosties at Wendy's so I gave those away. Then a little later another high school kid showed up, I think he may have been wearing a detectives costume or that was his lame ass clothes, so I gave him a frostie coupon as well. I think it would be funny next year to find something like old excersize tapes from a second hand store to give out to high schoolers!
