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.

    Nah man, that’s definitely weird. I stopped around 13-14. After that, my friends and I got together for parties.

    She’s old enough to buy her own candy, it’s time to quit mooching and creeping out the neighbors.

      Why though? Sure they’re old enough to buy their own but who cares if they’re having fun? You’re going to tell someone who put in effort to put on a costume no?

      You sounds kind of grumpy, IMO. Who cares what other people do? In my opinion, being an adult is boring. Outside of work you only have a couple hours to yourself. Then there’s house work, eating, errands. You have to make time for fun.

        Being grumpy is for young adults, I’m in my thirties and tonight I’m going to a live production of rocky horror and excited as fuck. If I had my fishnets and corset still, I’d wear them.

          Oh, I’d so love to go for a Halloween show! That’s gonna be sick! My wife and I went a few months ago for my birthday. Talked to the head of the group after and they’re doing Shock Treatment soon!

        Because there’s a socially acceptable acceptable age for some things… How would you feel if a fat, bearded, 40-something man like me came to your house trick or treating, no kids in tow, just me by my lonesome?

        I’m not saying don’t have fun as an adult. God knows life is mundane enough. You want to dress up for Halloween? Go ahead! I know I will be! There’s just something off putting to me about adults going door to door begging for candy. I’m just saying it’s kinda weird.

          Honestly, I’m of the same opinion as other people here. If you’re in a costume and yell “trick or treat” at my door, you get candy. I don’t judge people for shit, live your best life man.

          Everyone has feelings, everyone has their own problems, and it feels good to be happy. If I can make anyone’s day a little bit better I will. If that means giving candy to a fat, bearded, 40-something man alone in a costume alone, take it brother.

          Weird? sure, I get that too. Personally, I won’t go door to door for candy either, it’s not something I find fun. Will I gatekeep someone from having their definition of fun for… what ~$2? in candy I was going to give away otherwise? Nawh.
