Did you drink or treat as a teenager? I never saw the appeal.

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Nov 3 '08, 12:54

A kid came up to my door on Halloween obviously hammered. Instead of saying Trick or Treat, he spots Indy behind me and says, "Whoa. Dog. Is that like a pug?" Indy's over 40 pounds now, and looks like a shaggy dog.

After he grabbed his candy, he turned and annouced to his buddies that, "My dad's picking me up because I think I'm gonna throw up."

Weird.

when i was a teen overhyped US celebrations were not popular - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 3, 12:58 4
- Maybe Berry can make you and OAE some anti-xenophobic ST chamber to post in. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 13:00 3
  - well that would only help is you can charge you batteries there i think - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 3, 13:03 1
    - I don't know what your post mean, but to be clear I wasn't accusing you of xenophobia. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 13:07
  - xenophobic echo chamber! -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 13:02
No, never. But evidently it's pretty common in some circles. I loathe the ones who walk up and just say, "gimme some candy". -- nm - Trish Nov 3, 12:57 4
- We had a group that did a little song at each door. I was behind them for a few houses. -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 13:03
- Hey, while you're here, can you help me with something? - kelly Nov 3, 13:02 1
  - Hrmmm. - Trish Nov 3, 13:15
- oh no no no. -- nm - kare Nov 3, 13:00
Teens are the reason I can't handle Halloween at all. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 12:57
As a teen, I regarded Halloween as strictly for kids - con_carne Nov 3, 12:56
How old was he? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 12:56 2
- Somewhere between 13 and 15 is my guess. He had braces. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 12:57 1
  - I threw up in Baskin-Robbins and the lady thought I had been drinking ... - zork Nov 3, 13:00
no. -- nm - Callisto Nov 3, 12:56

when i was early teens, i took my brother out trick or treating, but never went with other teens or by myself. - colin Nov 3, 12:55
No. Also, not as an adult. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 12:55
no. i think maybe i would give my kids an age limit, too. no more trick or treating after, say, 10ish. -- nm - kare Nov 3, 12:55 9
- I wouldn't age-limit my kid, but if they're going trick or treating, they better dress up. No half-assing it like some of the teens that I saw. - musubi Nov 3, 12:58 4
  - We had 2 teens show up who couldn't even manage a 'trick or treat'. - kelly Nov 3, 13:09
  - "I'm dressed up as a high school student" -- nm - zork Nov 3, 13:01
  - that's kind of funny, plus they say please, so i'd probably give them candy. otherwise, i'd be like, um, no. go buy your own damn candy. -- nm - kare Nov 3, 12:59 1
    - I ended up giving them candy, but not before shaking my fist at the sky and old-man ranting about "putting in some effort". - musubi Nov 3, 13:04
- Yeah, at 10/12-ish, they can stay home and hand out the candy. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 12:56 3
  - I don't mind the teens and pre-teens trick or treaters as long as they dress up, and are polite. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 12:57 2
    - after about 14 i'm not a fan of them going door-to-door - zork Nov 3, 12:58 1
      - you never go door-to-door, man -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 13:08
