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.

The key is to not invite them in, silly. But, then again, who would be inviting trick 'r treaters in? Eh, it's late, don't mind me...

You need to - eventually you'll realize that fun is more important than what other people think. Do what you love at any age!

adults walking around begging for candy with little kids is embarrassing as fuck. If that's their idea of fun then so be it. Won't stop me from laughing and making fun of these dumb asses

Dude, shut the fuck up and go look up the history of Halloween.

It isn't about fucking candy

Nor is lemmy about being a giant douche, but it didn't stop you.

Yeah there’s ‘begging for candy’ and there’s chaperoning your kids.

But then there’s also those shit-rat adults on the doorbell videos pouring whole bowls of candy into their bags and skulking away.

I'm talking about the adults who never grew up. Act like addled mental cases. Usually doped up with Adderall. I'm not talking about parents taking their kids out trick or treating. Anyways, those shit-rat adults taking all the candy are losers.

When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

Good on your sister for not losing track of what makes her happy. Not doing things just because they are "childish" is the most childish trait an adult can display.
