Seriously? Stamped pumpkins? Lager? Broken glass?Originally posted by suityou01 View PostSY02 and the kids were just off to do some trick or treating with the next door neighbour's kids. I do not really approve. As she stood on the doorstep of the neighbour she spotted some trick or treaters visit our house (I was inside with SY05) and stamp on our pumpkin on the doorstep. Then ring the bell and sweetly ask for trick or treat.
I was unaware as to what had happened and reached for the bowl of treats. She called out to me what had just happened and told the kids to get lost. They walked round to the neighbours drive and hurled a bottle of lager at her, just smashing inches from her feet and showering her and the kids in broken glass.
I totally flipped and gave chase. They legged it.
We called the police, and gave an account with descriptions of kids in halloween costumes (like this would do any good).
No doubt they will be back later, mob handed to put my windows through and stab me.
**** Halloween, serioulsy.
Where the hell do you live, the Broncs?

Demanding money with menaces is already illegal so 'trick or treat' should have been stopped before it took off.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

See I think this is where you can start to differentiate between people in life. By not embracing the community you shut yourself off from it. By not knowing your neighbours, local kids, being part of the school/community etc then you become an outsider. Different. The miserable twat at the end of the road who can be wound up.Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostAbso-sodding-lutely. Have a

It is specifically the Trick or Treat activity I have a problem with. Penny for the Guy, carol-singing, first-footing, street parties, community bonfires & fireworks - all OK by me.
