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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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 dressed up as a ghost and walked down the street to meet my friends. A dog somehow got loose and decided my "flowy" costume was the perfect chew toy. I spent the evening dodging an overly enthusiastic dog and getting barked at. FML
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, one of my neighbors dressed up in the exact same costume as me. Every house I go to refuses to give me candy because my neighbor has already been there. FML
Today, I was handing candy to a little boy who was trick or treating by himself. He was small enough to grab the candy and run past me into my house. I've been searching my house for two hours and still can't find him. I'm afraid to go to sleep. 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, I went to a Halloween party dressed as a pirate. Someone complimented me on how convincing the fake teeth were that I had on for my costume. I wasn't wearing fake teeth. 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

Well that sucks. At least you can eat the candy. My house got wiped out of all the candy by all the trick r treaters. Maybe next year.

Why was it necessary to wait by the door? Go watch a movie or something, and pause it if and when anybody knocks...

I dressed as a cat and dressed my kitten in a karate outfit. I also had our stray cay in costume and wad planning on asking everyone if it was theirs when they came to the door. Not one person came. I kind of don't blame them because it was cold and drizzly, but still.

Lucky you. I'm glad I'm not American. First kid that rings my doorbell for snacks is taking a swim in the canal.

A lot of people didn't got trick or treating around my area because it was a lot colder this year than usual.

You are supposed to put a pumpkin outside

We got maybe 15 doorbell rings tops, and still have a big bowlful of candy left. Some of the kids were barely in costumes and didn't say "trick or treat" like we used to get from all of them. It was the emptiest Halloween night we've had so far, and there's not even an obvious excuse.

I find it funny when you run out of candy, kids keep coming.... Then when you actually do have candy kids don't even come. I still have 12 lbs of candy left hahhaha :P

At least you have $30 worth of candy to enjoy.
