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
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I am completely baffled, how does a city postpone Halloween?

But that would add to the spookyness!

Can't you drive to another town? It may be far, but it will be worth it. :)

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

The one day of the year to get free treats and your dumbass town shuts it down because the lights go out. I bet no ones flushing their toilet tonight either!

actually I won't. I have no water due to electric well pump, and statewide power outages.

if you're old enough to use the internet and post an FML, you're too old for trick-or-treating.

You're never too old - people in college go trick or treating all the time. OP: it's annoying when you state the obvious. We know that the treat is candy.
endomendo 2
trick or treating is for kids. adults should not take that away from them.
chickenwalrus 14
what the ****? i'll trick or treat if i want. in fact i just did and none of the kids i saw cried at the sight of me.
Horrorfan 6
Oh screw you, I can go trick 'r treating if I damn well please
endomendo 2
you guys should grow up. if every adult felt the same way you did, there would be no one passing out candy for you to take. buy your own candy. or better yet, buy candy and pass it out to some kids and let them enjoy the holiday.

I think high school's too old, but that's debatable. College is definitely too old. You're an adult. It's time to stop asking strangers for candy.

Well, when you're an adult and have children you have to go trick or treating.

If you let society pressure you into giving up something you enjoy just because you are not the target demographic, then you don't deserve respect.

90- maybe you should lighten up instead! Trick or treating is fun! I buy candy to give out to the kids, and then when I get bored, I go out trick or treating to get different candy. It's all in fun. Hallowe'en is my favorite holiday

No. At some point you're just being a pathetic beggar. Wait one more day and go to Walmart.

I'm 14 and I'm too old to trick or treat. I just scare the hell out of the kids that come in my driveway while I lay under a 'bloody' shert as if I were dead. They reach in the bowl next to me and BAM! Dead people aren't supposed to laugh but I could 't help it! Point is, Halloween is for the children and everyone past 14 should make it enjoyable and fun for them.

135- No. I'm 14 and went trick or treating and it was ******* awesome. I think you're too old after high school :P
white16sox 19
I'm also 14, only reason I went trick or treating was to spend time with my nephew.
endomendo 2

Having to use candles would make this an even better Halloween...blackouts shouldn't stop it.
