Today, I woke up excited to go trick-or-treating, the treat being candy. Instead, my town has officially postponed Halloween due to blackouts. I guess this is where the trick comes in. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
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 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, while up in my room getting ready to go out, I thought I heard some trick or treaters knocking on the door. I ignored them because I didn't have any candy. The knocking got louder and longer. I walked downstairs, and noticed that the living room ceiling was falling down onto the floor. 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, 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 was excited to finally receive my Halloween costume in the mail after the one I ordered back in September got lost in transit. Upon reaching my mailbox, I saw the lock had been broken off and my new costume had been stolen. The party is tomorrow. 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
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
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 saw what my mom handed out for trick-or-treaters last night. Toothbrushes. Yup, we're that house. FML

I guess trick or treating is good for candy and all, but I just wait till the day after when wal-mart liquidates everything candy & Halloween related for super cheap.

If he was a hard core trick or treater, they woulda drove to some other town

Eggs can be just as good as candy, and better for your health. PS. Peace officer are bonus points.

You're cool man. You've read every one of my comments, have you? If you have that's bloody creepy.

Lots of cities in CT have. Gov. Dannel Malloy advises we observe it next Saturday instead.

Wow that's weird xD. It's not something I've seen in Texas xD. Learn something new every day!

The northeast just got a nor'easter, some cities have over a foot of snow and no power, that's why.

The window licker
xxjordan715xx 17
Yah, same here. I live in CT and was excited for tonight): CLP says we won't have power for another week ._.
iamyourgod 3
Seriously, a foot of snow takes out your power, how?
bigchase 2
Must be why they call you the window licker. We got 18" of heavy wet snow tons of trees and power lines down everywhere!! Looks like a tornado went through here!! The power companies are working 24 hours a day to restore power. There are hundreds of towns a hundred percent out of power. Cell service just got restored!!
overthelimit 3
103- tree that still has leaves + heavy snow + wind = broken trees and downed power lines.
ddeek 3
Because it was a very heavy snow and with leaves being on the trees yet caused broken limbs into power lines.......
TheFakeFamilyGuy 10
Ikr. Had 3 very large trees fall in my backyard. Got school cancelled Monday and Tuesday too.

snow= heavy. landing on powerlines can snap it also snow = ice meaning it can freeze power lines
ScrayVyle 9
I laughed when my best friend told me this. He lives in CT and told me e didn't have school until Monday because of the snow and stuff. I realize that it's heavy snow, but it blows my mind after seeing how much snow we get up here where I live. We never really had this happen here so it was something new for me to hear.
dave04045 1
My town got 18 inches of snow (CT). There's about 500 trees down and about 100 powerlines down. Pretty unsafe.

Wow try living where I do. 18 inces is nothing. Last winter we had about 4 feet
thisblowsaton 4
We r plenty used to snow in CT, but this snow fell on trees that still had leaves on them. Pair that with wet ass snow, and high winds, and u end up with an entire state with serious power outages. No power for 7-10 days. Power lines down all over trees covering roads. CT= apocalypse currently.

I also live in Massachusetts and we had Halloween postponed until Friday because the entire town lost power. We just got it back and some people still dont have it. And we havent had school all week. Its quite ridiculous.
coyote131415 2
I live in western MA and we still have people without power a week later. Our Halloween is Monday because the public schools have Tuesday off.

In horror movies, this is when a murderer comes and kills the people out there in the dark.

Oh... It's a good thing you said candy was going to be the "treat". I thought it was going to be ******.

I'm handing out ****** for the girls, **** rings and Penthouse for the boys. Anyone who dresses up as an altar boy gets Ambien.

That was not supposed to be a reply, but whatever. I won't question it.
