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.

when i was 13 or so i noticed the looks of the faces of the people giving out candy went from happy to annoyed. It may have also been my low effort costume but that was my last year

I think I was 15 or 16, trick or treating with my little brothers. A guy on a porch told me it was disgraceful to be a teenager trick or treating and asked why I wasn't doing something with a girl instead.

That guy was definitely totally wrong and out of line, but it did make me realize that I don't particularly enjoy going to people's houses and giving them the opportunity to say shit like that. So now I buy candy whenever I want.
