Pfft...loser. You're trying to Unite the 'Workers of the World' not realizing that these kids are never going to get jobs!

We are usually ready to go for 5:30, as we have a lot of younger kids around the neighbourhood.

We tend to start seeing people actually coming to the house around 6.


Tonight, we have moved to full sized candybars, in addition to glowsticks.

The kids not working is even more reasoning why they need to fall in love with the virtues of socialism.

Have you seen these clowns? They cant even make their own lunches let alone seize the means of production!

They're too busy meandering around the streets begging for candy in exchange for mere childish tricks!

45 minutes in and I've only had 24 kids come by....weak turnout.

There are some streets in the area that close off and go all in with bonfires, crazy light shows and shooters for the adults and I think that's where they all are. I can't compete.

Only about 20 kids here so far but the last two ####ers took half the bowl and made a mess too.

I’ve had more than a couple older kids just dressed in oilfield PPE. Lazy pricks.

Yeah have had maybe 25 kids so far. No great costumes either. I guess my area has hit the critical mass of kids growing up that it falls off a cliff...

Man I got half the amount of candy as last year and it still looks like the office is getting a lot of leftovers.

We had one at 5pm too.
I wasn't even home yet but my folks are over and gave the early bird a worm.

We took our kid to Yaletown where the businesses do 3:30-5:30. Lots of kids & families, a good haul to get started.
Now we'll hit the home neighborhood.

I'm in an older, inner city community and even though there are quite a few young families it seems like they all head out to the suburbs to trick or treat with friends in those communities. I've had 15 so far and will be eating a lot of candy this weekend.

14 kids so far, which ties our 'quietest year'. Most appear to be 10 and under, all with some decent effort costumes. One kid even made his own shield and Master Sword for his Link costume.

We just had a group of six teenage girls in high-vis vests.
