Trick or Treat?

[MistressPage]

Ok this is a rather trivial Aibu but... have seen several posts on social media asking what day people are planning to trick or treat on this year as Halloween is a Monday. Aibu to think it's a bit cheeky and unreasonable to trick or treat any night other than Halloween itself, as it entails me putting out a lantern and being poised to answer the door with a big bowl of sweets. I love doing this on Halloween, but don't really want to devote three evenings to it. Am I an old misery?

Guising and trick or treating are nit the same though!

Anyone coming to my door on Hallowe'en has to do a turn before they get anything from me!

What's the point in doing it on another day, surely the success rate is low! I only give sweets on Halloween, well I say give but no-one ever knocks! So we end up munching them ourselves I don't get it as there are loads of young kids in the area.

It's Halloween only. Any other night you can fuck right off.

Only on Hallowe'en, 31st October.

I also get pissed off with the fuckers who think it is acceptable to have firework parties daily the week before and daily for the week after bonfire night. It's one day 5th November.

You wouldn't have Christmas Day or New Year's Eve any other day than the 25th and 31st December respectively.

I dislike Halloween and am lucky to live in a country where it's barely celebrated (at least in the region where I live) and I've never seen anyone trick or treating.

If I lived in the U.K. or somewhere where it is celebrated more, I would have to diminish my Scrooge-like approach and buy some treats. But only for the 31st. Monday or not, it would be cheeky to T-or-T any other day and expect people to have sweets ready and be "in the mood".

Not at all here. Thankfully.

My three are 21, 17 and 14 and are no longer interested in it.

Another one campaigning to bring back Guising.

It's all but died out here - instead we have the imported "Trick or Treat" nonsense.

If someone knocks on my door and says "Trick or Treat?" I will say to them "I will have a treat please".

Or I might say "Are you not Guising?"
