And I agree that a note is better than shouting through the door. But why didn't you just turn off the light and take in the pumpkin? That should be* the universal sign for "not participating" and would direct kids away from your place. * Should be, because according to some of the posters in this thread, it isn't in some places!

I did have a flu, but without any fancy test the doctor decided it had to be Swine Flu since "it's going around." It sucked, as I had intended to go to my best friend's wedding around that time and had to cancel. I figured something on the door was better than shouting through it and startling trick'o'treaters. Course, that probably would have been more fun. I put up B) a few years ago.

As an ESL person, I just don't get it. Candy opinions aside, what's wrong with being a douche? Doesn't it go places which one would normally deem desirable?

Probably because it's perfect. Nobody likes to deal with Bible Thumpers, and if anyone were to see that sign on someone's door, wouldn't even take time to read the whole thing; they would immediately turn and head to a non-crazy person's house. No knocking or ringing door bells. Maybe the sign-maker knew this, and used it to his/her advantage. Personally, I think it's brilliant. If I didn't live on a street that no trick-or-treaters came down anyway, I totally would use it. I think the person who made that sign is parodying a religious nutcase. Probably because it’s perfect.

Although nowadays one joke seems to suffice. Here in Scotland, they are supposed to sing a song, tell some jokes, or generally do something to ‘earn’ their Hallowe’en treats.

It’s an urban legend that everyone just does with. Don’t be ridiculous. There aren’t a bunch of Satanists running around on Halloween trying to get your stupid cat." Go ask any vet about the increase in violence towards cats around October. I never said anything about cat sacrifice. I never said anything about Satanists. And, of course the crazies aren't going after *my* cats. My cats live inside and are only allowed supervised outside time. @10.9 “There has never been any documented increase in cat abuse or “sacrificing” black cats.

I didn't realise until I saw a bunch of kids walking past the house all dressed up. My housemates and I quietly turned all lights off and hid giggling in the loungeroom. We were scared someone would knock on the door and we'd have 3 apples and a jar of nutella between us to offer. We were safe tho, no-one knocked (probably 'cause we're in Australia. Not sure how I feel about Halloween increasing in popularity though. On one hand the kids dressing up is cute. On the otherhand, I don't want random people at my door asking for candy. I'm never going to remember the date and half the time i don't feel it. i completely forgot about Halloween (I WAS going to grab some candy, alcohol and horror movies) and had no candy.
