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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

I can't stand people who think they need to sue or fight back every time someone makes their widdle baby cwy.

I really doubt she'd actually try to sue, that just seems to be the best threat people of mediocre intelligence can come up with when you piss them off.

Halloween sounds shitty where you come from. I had just one kid out of nearly a hundred who looked too old to be trick or treating, but he was at least in full costume. And I've never heard of anyone demanding cash.When I was a kid, I used to hate it on the rare occasion when someone would give me change instead of candy.

Is that mother trying to get laughed out of court or something?

Your all pathetic for thinking this was ok. If he wet himself for that he's probably about 4 or 5. To "get back" at a toddler is despicable. No she probably can't sue but I wish she could!

You wish she could sue? You're the kind of person that has ruined this country. Please just go to hell.

4 or 5 is hardly a toddler anymore. And kids are tougher than we like to think they are. I highly doubt the little ankle-biter is going to suffer permanent psychological damage just because someone said boo.

5 is school aged, definitely old enough to be "boo'ed" imo

Way to go dick! The kid had to be young to pee his pants! And it's Halloween just go to the door and give the kid some candy he probably WAS having a good time

Did you miss the part where the kid was constantly ringing the doorbell and running away when OP answered the door? If anything, it sounds like the parent was horribly teaching the kid how to play Ding-Dong Ditch and got mad when OP stood up for her privacy and retaliated.

This is one of those stories that will actually attract people that think the OP was at fault, see above. Yeah, your door rings repeatedly and there's no one there, so it's an obvious prank. And being Helloween you do a harmless payback by waiting by the door. Oh, it was a small kid, honestly too young, who started crying for being spooked on Helloween. Yeah, totally the OPs fault. Ugh, people. FYL.

boycrazy30007, hare to break it to you, but a 5 year old is not a toddler. You're thinking of a 2 year old.
