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

Lol @ some of the newer comments, I didn't realise it was wrong to say "boo" to children on Halloween. Quit being so goddamn sensitive.

Don't worry, people with some sense left are with you.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. They both deserved it and should lighten up. No attorney in his right mind would take that case.

You should have gotten someone to film it! It would have a gotten a lot of views on Youtube!

I swear. People will try to sue for anything.

I'm on the fence in this one. The mother shouldn't have let her child be a brat like that, but if the kid was young enough to pee his pants I feel for the kid. **** the kid's life because of his mom not teaching him and being scared that badly.

Yeah, God forbid a child gets scared on Halloween. It's not like Halloween is SUPPOSED to be scary or anything. Look, I'm not American, and I generally despise commercialized holidays, so I'm clearly not the best judge here - but if you let your child go trick or treating, you should expects that surprises may occur. And I do think that if you ring a stranger's doorbell, it's on your own risk, within reasonable limits. You are on their property. That of course doesn't give you the right to do anything to someone standing at your door, but really, what's the woman gonna say in court, if she does sue? "My kid rang a stranger's doorbell on Halloween, and got scared because they said "Boo"?" I highly doubt answering your doorbell with a "boo" is against American law. I realize that Halloween is a big deal in America and that the legal system in America is very different from the legal system in Denmark, where I come from, but suing over a Halloween prank that scared a child (but was harmless in nature and didn't lead to physical injury), seems very extreme to me.

Trust us, it's quite a petty reaction in the U.S.

Ha! If you're gonna sue me for scary your kid while expecting candy I'm going to press charges for trespassing and disorderly conduct for public urination. Bitch on!

If this idiot does try to sue, you should counter-sue for undue stress of having to deal with a frivolous lawsuit, and ask for twice what they ask for.

That witch won't get a dime, don't worry. She's better off auctioning her broom.
