We all do it, come on, what tricks do you do to those houses with no candy? What naughty things have you done on halloween?
I for one, choose a rather unique prank, I rip off the doorbell. I pull off the button. Veryfew people have built in doorbells fastened in with more than two screws, some are the wireless kind,
I figure if your gonna pretend your not home or ignore the doorbell or put up something that says not to ring, then you obviously don't need a doorbell. I've got quite a collection. One house would always try that honor system crap so the bowl would be emptied by the first five kids that got there. First year they did It I took the doorbell. Second year they still had no doorbell and put up a sign saying "not home" so I unscrewed and took the iron doorknocker.
Some say it's mean, I say its just proving some of us are serious about the trick part of "trick or treat"
