To ignore the door to trick or treaters

[Burrit]

It's been advised in our area trick or treating is not allowed, we are in tier 3 and I believe you get fined if caught doing so, I'm normally the sort to buys loads of sweets love answering the door to trick or treaters as it's something I never did as a child, but this year I've bought nothing nor have I put any decorations up due to current restrictions and am not taking dc trick or treating, however my neighbours have a Facebook group and someone had posted today saying they are still trick or treating as all the kids play out together anyway, almost everyone agreed, but I haven't bought any sweets for the kids! AIBU to ignore the door if they knock on?

Tier 3 here too, we took our three youngest out for a walk dressed up with their Halloween buckets.... every time they spotted a pumpkin or house that's was decorated I put a sweet in their bucket.
It still felt like Halloween and they weren't bothered about where the sweets came from!!

Sorry and you are not being unreasonable ignore any knockers

we are ignoring the idiots!

quite a few knocking....not bothering to answer them

Well we didn't get anyone knocking! People where out and about though so they have obviously respected the fact we've got no decorations up! Which is a relief! Just have to give out twice as much next year!

We've only had one knock at the door.
Turns out it was a friend of ds1 and his dad and they were giving out sweets! Socially distanced of course.
We don't normally participate and I have to admit most of the kids round here do respect the rule about not knocking where there are no decorations.

We're tier 2 and I've just left a bucket of sweets out for kids to help themselves.

[quote Burrit]@Aridane sounds awful! I take it that's teenagers and not little children doing that? [/quote]
Oh yes - teenage boys! (but happily none came out yesterday 👍 )

We’re tier 3 and I ignored the door. We have decorations up as do many houses in our area (it’s quite popular in this area) but it didn’t mean I welcomed trick or treaters, I just thought children might do a walk around the area to look at people’s decorations... We had about four people knock which is a lot less than usual but still.

Round here the unwritten rule is that trick or treaters stop only at houses that are decorated.

Normally I decorate the house. This year I didn't, but I did put out a Tupperware box with some goodies in, just in case people came round. No one rang the doorbell and when I checked before going to bed it looked like nothing had been taken.

We're tier 1.
