In your opinion, what's the age limit for Trick r Treating?
My sister is 23 and still dresses up and goes out knocking doors for candy… and I find it weird but I let her do her. It got me thinking, at what age do you think someone should stop Trick r Treating at? Just curious.
Like I don’t give a shit how old someone is. If you show up in a costume I’m giving you candy. No matter the age. I don’t know why you’d care what she’s doing, how is it hurting you or anyone else?
adults walking around begging for candy with little kids is embarrassing as fuck. If that’s their idea of fun then so be it. Won’t stop me from laughing and making fun of these dumb asses
I’m talking about the adults who never grew up. Act like addled mental cases. Usually doped up with Adderall. I’m not talking about parents taking their kids out trick or treating. Anyways, those shit-rat adults taking all the candy are losers.
We have like 4 children in our neighbourhood. If an adult showed up at my door in costume, I’d be thrilled to get a visitor, give them candy and offer them booze (it’s also common in my area for homes to offer drinks to parents who are chaperoning their kids).
On a similar note, when my son was about 7, my girlfriend at the time (who was 28) came with us in costume and and went up to houses with him with a candy bag and collected treats. The first couple houses, I actually felt like “this is a little embarrassing” but people just gave her candy and alcohol and I was like “You know what, this is fun!” I realized I was being a stiff adult and should just get over myself (a beer and a couple cup of hot cider with whiskey didn’t hurt my attitude either).
No age limit! I will give ANYONE candy, I don’t even care if you’re wearing a costume- but I really need you to say trick or treat. Opening my door and everyone just standing there silently is painful.
When I took the kids trick or treating there was one house with a fire pit that was offering candy, Pokemon cards or beer depending on the age and preference of the trick or treater
When you have a place to live and can afford a bucket of candy, I think it is an obligation to everyone who wants this tradition to continue to stay at home (yours or someone else if youre having a halloween party) and give out candy to the kids and compliment their costumes.
But other than that, nah, no age limit as long as you can still say thanks and enjoy it.
Honestly? Do whatever you want as long as you’re not hurting anyone or being a dick. Wanna put on a spooky costume and go ask the neighbours for candy? Please be my guest and I hope you have such a fun time. I guess you might get some funny looks but like, that’s on them, not you. This doesn’t even just apply to trick or treating.
You’re never too old to enjoy something. The world is miserable enough, have ice cream for dinner once, go trick or treating, learn to ride a bike, have a sleepover with your friends, or do none of those things if you wouldn’t derive joy from them.
when i was 13 or so i noticed the looks of the faces of the people giving out candy went from happy to annoyed. It may have also been my low effort costume but that was my last year
I think I was 15 or 16, trick or treating with my little brothers. A guy on a porch told me it was disgraceful to be a teenager trick or treating and asked why I wasn’t doing something with a girl instead.
That guy was definitely totally wrong and out of line, but it did make me realize that I don’t particularly enjoy going to people’s houses and giving them the opportunity to say shit like that. So now I buy candy whenever I want.
