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.
18/20 because after that you ought to be able to be a candy-giver. This whole thing only works if we have enough candy-givers, and too late of a cutoff age skews the balance.
When did it become a rule that you have to be a home owner to hand out candy on Halloween? Where I live, anyone can give out candy on Halloween, even renters and guests.
I’ve heard of people doing both on the same night. Some people like seeing costumes and some like wearing them. It doesn’t matter how old you are, do what you’d like and it will balance out.
In my area, it is less age and more size. Someone that is large scares more people than a small person. I was large so stopped early, but a small woman with a mask could go quite a long time.
As a timid tall person, this comment hit me in the feels. I don’t like being intimidating, but there’s not much I can do about it. And so many people comment about my height like it’s a great thing, but sometimes I just want to be small.
When I was 18, I took my little brother trick or treating. I’m short (and a woman), he’s tall. Everyone asked him if he was too old to be out, but nobody questioned me.
No age limit in this household. I’d say “just show up with a bag,” but I just gave treats so some 4yo with no bag. If an adult asked? They’d get them.
I just want to be kind. I wasn’t allowed to trick or treat as a kid. I did as a teen, and you know what? Nobody cared how old our group was. We got candy like the rest of them. God bless those neighbors.
I stopped trick-or-treating at 11 or so when I became self-conscious and had some depression/introvert stuff happen. Sometimes I’m sad that I stopped so early in my childhood. I just want people to know that I love them and want them to be happy and have fun.
I don’t give a fuck how old you are. Are you having fun and want some candy?!
previously I think I would have said about 10-12 feels like the proper cutoff, but I took my 3.5 year old out tonight, and at one house she got a king size snickers bar while the teens after us got fun size. this feels the most fair.
The older you are, the more effort I expect. A kid can get away with a cape and a mask. If an older teen comes, I expect full costume, not everyday clothes. Adult? You better be rocking a great cosplay. Not that I’d refuse anyone, but I’ll be happiest giving treats to young children or people showing off really amazing effort in the costume department.
I allow it if it’s a parent or sibling accompanying a child. Or if they have an amazing costume. If it’s a grown ass man wearing a trash bag or a $3 mask not so much.
I haven’t done it in a couple, but I used to have a “trick or treat” table and a “trick or drink” table. You got to choose one. If I was even a little sus, you were carded, that was rare, and never actually caught anyone cheating anyhow. Takes a lot of prep work though.
No age limit but costume required. At least put on your sister’s makeup or brothers overalls or saggy jeans, something. I have turned away kids without costumes but will candy anyone of any age who makes even the weakest attempt at a costume.
Honestly, I don't really set an age limit. I won't judge people who are out for fun. I've been there, there's not much to do around where I live.
That being said though... Regardless of your age, if you costume up, you're likely to get more candy from me. (I'll also offer candy to parents and older siblings who aren't taking part because I'm cool like that. Just don't stick chocolate bars in your pockets LMAO)
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.
i think it’s dependent by area. if you’re in an area/neighborhood with mostly younger people in their 20s or such and few families, its acceptable to go out as a younger person thats around that age. but if your area is mostly families and you’re going out trick or treating as a 20 year old, that’s pretty strange.
