This is "THE REAL" Diva... I'm recuperating from surgery and need to find a way to keep the Trick or Treaters from bothering me Saturday/Sunday. I've tried keeping the lights out but many of them still come banging on the door and ringing the doorbell. I've thought of putting something over the doorbell to keep them from ringing it. I've thought of putting a sign up that says "Do Not Disturb" but figure that wouldn't stop the heathens either. Thoughts? Suggestions? |

*L* One time I taped a sign out saying "Sorry, we are out of candy" and nobody rang the doorbell. I was being truthful, too!

put out a bucket of really nasty candy... word spreads fast ...
Wait that worked back in the 80's/early 90's .....these days that is liable to get you dealt with eh?
Um...turn out all the lights... buy some police tape and rope off your house ala crime scene?

I like Airborne's idea, but these days you never know, the kids might actually enjoy being ambushed!

I could get you some claymores and wire up your front doorstep. Once you blow up one group of kids, the rest will avoid your house like the plague. There will be that mess on the front yard however ...

I like to keep it straightforward. Put a sign that says "FUCK OFF" on your door.

Ironically, we do have a sex offender in our neighborhood.

You would be assuming they can read.... You can just leave a bowl of something cheap on the porch... or a sign that says out of candy....

... or a sign that says "I think it's funny when kids get sick and die, so I put poison and LSD in my trick-or-treat candy. Knock on the door if you want some."

Only if you'll help with setting it up. I can't do squat right now.

Or you could check into a hotel for the night. Get some room service and relax and not worry about the kiddies knocking on your door.

Post a sign saying "Happy Halloween, have an apple" the sugercrazed kiddos will avoid your house like the plague.

Hope you are recovering well. Good to have you back ;)

Two .50 cal machine gun nests with automatic tracking should do the trick. After a few dead bodies, the other kids will get the hint. mmwwwahahahahahaha
I hope your recovery goes well.

turn on the sprinkler and have it aimed at the front door, that'll keep them away.

i Like Lynne's idea best of all.
Or make a sign that says "Flu victim - don''t touch doorbell" ...

I just used to put a bucket out that said "If it's out, you're outta luck. I'm sure other houses will pimp you up" LOL

Hmm I just don't stay home if I don't want to deal with it. No good suggestions here.

I like the sprinkler idea - will keep that in mind next year. I have a sign up in the window for now... If only I had good aim from upstairs, I'd shoot the little wankers with a water gun if they disturbed me.

One year I put a sign out front saying BOO! and we turned all of the lights off. We got egged that year.
