Halloween, the long wait

Today, I asked my girlfriend to get a bunch of candy for our first Halloween at our new house, so she got $60 worth. We got into an argument about who was going to give it out. It’s now 9 p.m. No one came to our door all night. FML

Today, I bought fifteen bags of candy for the trick-or-treaters. I sat outside with a bowl of candy the whole night. Only one person came. FML

Today, I had to tell all the trick-or-treaters that I'd run out of candy. I'd actually bought about $50 worth of candy, but managed to eat all of it by myself, sitting alone in my apartment, exactly like last year. FML

Today, a kid came Trick-or-Treating at my house. When I told her it was still one more day until Halloween, and that I didn't have any candy, she wound-up her fist, punched me in the groin, and ran off laughing. FML

Today, I dressed up like a pirate, dressed my dog as a parrot and bought $30 worth of candy to pass out to trick-or-treaters. I waited by the door for 3 hours. Not one kid came. FML

Trick it is, then

Today, after a stressful shift at work, I bought three bags of candy to hand out to trick-or-treaters tonight. I didn’t realize until I got home that one bag had a hole in it, and there were three empty M&M wrappers inside. My grocery store sucks. FML

Today, I spent over $160 and 2 hours preparing for a Halloween party I was throwing. The only person who showed up was my sister, who helped me decorate. FML

Today, it's the Halloween after my wife and I moved into a predominantly Muslim neighborhood. We waited for three hours with a big bowl of Snickers, before the restaurant owner downstairs told us no one would come because Muslims don’t celebrate Halloween. FML

Today, I spent over an hour decorating my house for trick or treaters. I never got one person at my door because I forgot to unlock my gate. FML

Today, I saw what my mom handed out for trick-or-treaters last night. Toothbrushes. Yup, we're that house. FML

Today, a kid came trick or treating to my house. When I told him Halloween was nearly two weeks ago, his reaction was to savagely kick me in the shin and run off screaming obscenities. This is the same kid who broke down in tears when I gave him candy on the real Halloween. FML

Should have asked your neighbors about how many trick or treaters to expect. Are you sure your porch light was on?

So? More candy for you! Did you remember to turn on your porch light? You wouldn't believe how often people forget to do that.

Depending on where they live, having the porch light on might not mean they have candy. Also their town might have a designated date and time for trick or treating. Where I live trick or trick or treating was scheduled for Halloween but it’s usually the last Thursday in October from 3pm to 7pm But because of bad weather it has been moved to 11/4.

You can't do anything for yourself? So you argue with her when it goes bad.

You need to re-read this FML. They were arguing over who got to hand out the candy. The only thing that went wrong was the fact no one showed up.

"Who is going to pass out candy" not who got to. Nothing in that reads like he wanted to hand out candy. Honestly if the house wasn't decorated it makes sense to skip the house. If there's a neighborhood full of decorated houses and one not decorated people generally take that as a sign they aren't handing any out.

I hear you. I love to pass out candy but, ever though I live right in town, I live on the opposite side of the street from a large neighborhood. Houses there get hundreds of kids and I get maybe a half dozen. It’s pretty sad.
