Today, in the spirit of Halloween and to get back at a child who repeatedly pressed the doorbell until I showed up, I quickly opened the door and yelled "Boo!" The child ended up being carried away crying with wet pants by a mother threatening to sue. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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 decided to scare my 10 year old sister for fun. I hid behind a door and leapt out, shouting "Boo!" when she walked by. She burst into tears and ran screaming to my mom. My mom thought I'd hit my sister, and was so angry that she punched me in the eye. FML
Today, I thought it would be funny to sneak up on my dad while he was rummaging through his briefcase. He must have heard me, because the moment I got up close, he whirled around and yelled "BOO!" causing me to scream like a little bitch. FML
Today, a guy rang my doorbell, yelled "Happy Halloween" and then threw a bunch of leaves that he'd lit on fire at me. FML
Today, a little girl and her mother stopped in front of my window to look at the witch I'd put there as a Halloween decoration. The little girl was smiling, so I lifted the curtain and smiled at her. When she saw me, she started to cry, and ran away. FML
Today, l was crouched on the ground in the doorway at a haunted mansion. It's part of my job here to scare the people passing by. A 12 year-old girl walked by, I grabbed her leg, and she kicked me in the face. FML
Today, I was in a store with my mom. I wandered off, then walked around looking for her. I spotted her, and decided to put on a ski mask to give her a scare for a laugh. I hid around a corner and yelled "BOO!" when I saw her. It wasn't my mom, and I'm now banned from that store. FML
Today, I was at the mall and someone peeked their head under the door of my dressing room while I was half dressed. Not knowing who it was, I kicked him in the face just out of instinct. Its was a 4 year old kid looking for his mother. FML
Today, my friends dared me to answer the door naked for the pizza guy. I heard the doorbell but when I answered, it was the little boy from next door participating in a fundraiser. FML

When my son was 4 years old, he was walking up to a house to Trick or Treat. An adult dressed up as a monster jumped out of the bushes and scared the hell out of him. I didn't threaten to sue, but I gave him a piece of my mind and nearly my entire fist too. Yeah, I probably would have been sued...

Well, I'm in America and I have never heard anything about anyone demanding money. They wouldn't get any from me. However, since our kids are grown now, we shut off all the lights and head for a night out and a beer with our friends. Trick or Treat, eh.

if you dont want your kid scared, dont let them trick or treat. Better yet, dont have kids

Hey, trick OR treat, right? Kids should get tricked if they're being annoying little *****.

1) The little kid was excited. 2) How come you weren't near your door? It's Halloween, how were you not expecting kids?

1 - Ringing more than once no matter what is rude and obnoxious. 2 - It's very possible that OP didn't have candy to hand out.

Then you turn your lights off. Don't leave lights on and not have candy.

So on Halloween people are automatically expected to either get involved or pause their entire life for everyone else? **** that, she has every right to continue on with her life, ie. leave her light on. That parent should be in the process of teaching her child manners, and OP did the right thing. She didn't ask to have a child butcher her doorbell.

The whole leave your lights off system is flawed these days anyway. . There are tons of houses with no lights on handing out candy and even more with lights on that aren't handing out candy. It's like no one remembers the system anymore. I think they need to come up with little signs or something that you hang if participating. That way no one has to come home to a dark house and kids don't have to keep guessing whether they actually want trick or treat people or wish to be left alone.

Hahaha if only you recorded that OP

Not an FML. Kid got what he deserved and you can't sue someone for scaring your child.

Lol my comment was moderated for telling the truth. Whatever. The kid deserved it and you can't be sued for scaring a child. It's Halloween. Mommy should lighten up.

Lol! She can't sue for that. It's Halloween. Ring at your own risk! I would have done the same thing! Haha!
