When did this trend start? Last night, at least a half dozen times, I answered my door to find, for example, 3 people standing there. Two children and their mom. The kids were cute in their little costumes (one 2 year old had my beard!) but after I fill their little bags, I see a third bag waiting for candy. From mom.
Mom? You're not a kid. You're not even in a costume! This isn't about you, this isn't for you, and I'm basically either restocking YOUR home supply of candy or feeding your mooching face, and I'm not down with either of those.
It was bad enough when you brought the infants in strollerd last year, moms, with their bags -- I DO trust you're saving the candy for them until their older and not just eating it yourselves -- but this year was too much. You're 28 years old, you don't get candy from me.
Thanks a lot for making me pissed off enought to shut down my front lights and stop answering the door by 8pm, moms. I'm sure all the kids in the block are stoked for you too.
Dicks.
Love,
Grumpy Old Man

This SO fits Taco:
Bill Maher's New Rules: And finally, New Rule: Adults in this country have to awaken their inner child and then abort it. Halloween is here, and America needs to be reminded that this is a holiday meant for children. A chance for them to dress up and get a jumpstart on Type 2 diabetes. So this Halloween, I say parents have to dress up as adults. Now, Halloween is a day that should be for kids, because it's about scaring people with made-up stories, preferably leaked through the New York Times. Now, when I was a kid, parents understood that their role in Halloween was to be the dork in street clothes scraping dog shit from a flaming bag of poop on their shoe. But in 2005, adults are not just dressing up. Time magazine reports that 90% of parents steal from their own kids' Halloween candy. And even worse, many parents have also dipped into their kids' pot, condoms and ammo. Maybe it's no wonder baby boomers are regressing, turning to all types of childish pursuits for hobbies. There's adult slumber parties now. Hula Hoop classes, spelling bees in bars. And if you're at Disneyland and you're not eight or dating someone who is- you'd better be on acid. I mean, it's one thing to take your kid to a kid event like "Barney on Ice" and act bored, because you are. That's healthy. It sends a positive signal to your child that you love them enough to endure crap. But parents who actually dig kids' stuff send a different message: "Dad's a loser." Nowadays, adults play videogames; they trade baseball cards; they wear sneakers to restaurants, and wear their favorite player's jersey. At night. Hoping to get laid. Grown women play with dolls. If you're over 20 and you have a doll in your house, you'd better be a guy and the doll better be inflatable. Let me - let me conclude by citing that great scholar, Harriet Miers. In her correspondence to George Bush, where she stated that her fondest wish for him was that his children would think him "cool." Who gives a shit if your kids think you're cool? You have nuclear weapons!! This year, let's get the adults out of Halloween so it can be enjoyed by the people it was really meant for in the first place: the gays. _____________________

"Smithers....... release the hounds." Seriously, though... Indeed, I have a 'special bowl' for anyone that looks over 15 years old. It usually is the candy from *last* year's Halloween. _____________________

I've noticed this trend in the last few years. Plus the bag for the "little brother/sister who is sick and couldn't make it". Last night I got back from running with a pair of very wet hounds and had a group of ass teens, who watched me come in, pound the doorbell for 15 minutes while I tried to dry off and get my shit in gear - even though I told them when I got there to come back in 15 mins.

Yep, me too. It's seems shame and humility have gone the way of the dinosaur for a lot of folks these days. I think it all started in the 80's when people were physically assaulting each other to try and get their kid a Cabbage Patch Kid. I'd rather not wait in line and settle for a pack of Garbage Pail Kids stickers.  _____________________
