I got a lot of kids - young and old - with no costumes or really lame costumes (Superman pajamas) and it made me sad, mostly because I think their parents didn't really care. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-371991 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:52:38 +0000 DpeachLu 371991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ahhh I was once a teenager who went out without a costume. I didnt even think about 'rude' then. I feel bad now!<br /> At least I said trick or treat and thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-371940 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:35:14 +0000 jennylynn 371940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The teenagers that make no effort to dress up. In my opinion, if you have a mustache you're too old to be trick or treating. We had a group of teenagers come last year and they took the last of my candy. They maybe had a wig on at the most, and didn't even say thank you. There was a small group of young kids behind them that came up to our porch as I was turning off the porch light, and I felt so bad. :( I said, "I'm sorry. The big kids took the last of my candy" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-371643 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:50:51 +0000 brownie 371643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went trick or treating as a teenager. We always dresses up and went out after most of the little kids (8pm). Usually we would get whatever candy was left and they would turn off the lights. We never went to houses that didn't have a light on. We saw ourselves as helpful because we cleared out the candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-371570 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:25:55 +0000 mrsjyw 371570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree, hate the rude ones that don't say anything. And I'm not talking about the shy ones, I'm talking about the ones that have no problem shoving there basket to your preggo belly/treat basket, but just stare at you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-371375 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 07:53:03 +0000 JennyPenny 371375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Yes, that's what totally annoyed me this year. Kids just stick out their bags without saying "trick or treat" or "thank you". It's like this is some sort of ritual where I am obligated to provide candy. Blech! Handing out pamphlets on trick or treat etiquette is a good idea ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-371374 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 07:52:45 +0000 Grace 371374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: We had that too! We opened the door and said "may i help you"? Then I had to prompt them "trick or....?" Then I got this super feeble "trick or treat". Finally I told them that there is more candy if they really yell it. </p> <p>That worked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-371314 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 06:42:10 +0000 JamieLee 371314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BlueWolverine: That's a great idea.

That's just rude. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-371306 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 06:16:07 +0000 heffalump 371306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like the teenagers who look like they're so unhappy to be trick or treating. Some of them look so bored. Nobody is forcing you to do it, and I'm sure you're old enough to buy your own candy by now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-371200 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 00:37:31 +0000 HLK208 371200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The kids who don't have manners!!

Last year I had so many kids that I bought a ton of candy so I ended up giving them HANDFULS, which they thought was pretty cool and said I was the coolest house, so that felt kinda good. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-371112 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:13:05 +0000 BlueWolverine 371112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those teenagers, I swear next year I'm going to have a bowl of good candy and a bowl of crappy peppermints. Un-costumed teenagers get one peppermint each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-371110 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:12:12 +0000 Shutterbug 371110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a teen come to the door one year, at 8:45, with no costume, on his CELL PHONE! He said (to the phone): "hang on", and then to me: "trick or treat". I was so dumbfounded that I just gave him candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-371069 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:40:45 +0000 pinkcupcake 371069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Def the teens who don't bother dressing up.

One of the women left a bowl of candy on her porch.<br /> We saw some high school aged boys go by her place and when they walked by us one of the guys' bags looked REALLY full.<br /> She went home to check the bowl and it was empty!</p> <p>My DH and she chased the boys down and made them put all the candy back. HAHA. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-370734 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 19:10:43 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 370734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little boy just told me he loved my house!

I actually looked around them for a sec to see if a child was with them, and then they stuck out bags for candy! So weird! </p> <p> I would have felt so dumb doing that when I was a teenager- going trick or treating without a costume! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-370707 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 18:56:23 +0000 mediagirl 370707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone who rings my doorbell when every light in and outside the house is off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-trick-or-treaters-annoy-you#post-370703 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 18:52:00 +0000 Sammyfab 370703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The teenagers.
