People get mad at the teenagers trick or treating when the real freeloaders are the parents with the infants.
@GaryPoole Mad? I'm thankful when that small group of 16 year olds show up at about 9 PM. I split whatever is left in the candy bowl between them and shut off the porch light.
@GaryPoole As long as they aren't egging or TPing I (used to) candy everyone.
(We have no sidewalk, no foot traffic at night so I don't do the TorT thang any more)
@GaryPoole no, no! parents with infants deserve candy! they have to put up with an INFANT!
@GaryPoole also, if you get teens, allow them that bit of clinging to childhood as long as they make an effort at a costume. (if not, make them answer civics questions for candy)
@GaryPoole I would rather have the teenager trick or treating than stealing other kids collected candy.
@GaryPoole i don't care who comes trick or treating. i gots the candy. come one, come all!
well, now i live in an old peeps' bldg so i feel i will never see any trick or treaters again. 💔
I don't get mad at any of them, mainly because we haven't had any trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood for years.
