My sister is 23 and still dresses up and goes out knocking doors for candy... and I find it weird but I let her do her. It got me thinking, at what age do you think someone should stop Trick r Treating at? Just curious.

You are asking this on Lemmy? Many of us go to conventions just hoping to see a glimpse of a 23yr old in a costume.

If you still β€œlet” them apparently they are young enough

If you're looking out for your kid/brother for safety, no limits. Otherwise, 16.

Oh of course! 16 OK, got you.

No age limit! I will give ANYONE candy, I don't even care if you're wearing a costume- but I really need you to say trick or treat. Opening my door and everyone just standing there silently is painful.

Anyone of any age can dress up and not have it be weird... but trick-'r-treating? Anything over 12 is just fucking weird to me. I'm instantly sus of any adult doing it (unless they have a kid with them).

When (not if β€” there’s a few every year) clearly adult women knock on the door asking for a treat, I tell them they have to turn a trick first. Gets rid of them pretty quickly.

12-13 in Europe.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago

Thought this said Tik Tok for a second and was going to say 12. Then I realized- that works for both.

I’m thinking before people drive…
