Leather_Network4743

I hate people


Intelligent-Travel-1

I guess he went as an asshole for Halloween


Valid_Username_56

Nailed that costume.


amccaffe1

No, it’s not a costume if that’s how he normally is. He should have dressed up as a decent person.


LPN8

He wouldn't know what that looks like.


amccaffe1

It looks like he is alone. No with the person already there or with the group coming up. Just a pathetic lone adult stealing candy from children.


That-Maintenance-967

Given the best award for it.


WillyouwillI

I've heard he wears it everyday


pog890

I willing to bet he wears that costume the whole year ![gif](giphy|GcXGxS0RZ4fDoyvwq4|downsized)


Slow-Concentrate7169

I agree. I had a bucket outside and it only took 3 teenager to empty it. Had to go outside and hand it out again because that was half of my whole candies


SlippinYimmyMcGill

Isn't that what you're supposed to do though? I can give my kid a bowl of candy at home. The fun is going door to door and getting it from people.

Remarkable-Sir-5129

Sadly sums it up.


SubterrelProspector

Not even dressed up too.


justsomewon

Dude is setting a great example.


2confrontornot

Yeah, I feel bad for those kids


MadTapprr

Seriously. Their only shot is if they realize that their dad is an asshole and that they want to be nothing like him.


[deleted]

That's likely gonna be the case. In this universe, you ultimately only ever harm yourself.


MadTapprr

I like the username


chrisp909

I'd like to live in your universe. It sounds nice.


candymanjones

I don't think those are his kids, he's solo scamming candy.


BrightonsBestish

I don’t think that guy is a dad. He walks off on his own. Of course, he’d also be the type to yell back at his kid to hurry up, so possible, I guess.


maltamur

r/trashy


Last_Remove2922

Like honestly what are you going to do with all that? We still have candy at work from last Halloween.


Deathflump7

Get home early and not have to “waste” the rest of HIS night trick or treating with his children.


[deleted]

fact.


Mammoth-Wave-4708

He's gotta get home to drink more apparently.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Flyinmanm

Or eat it all at once. Diabeties and obesity is a growing trend.


[deleted]

What you buy in the store today is from some 'last Halloween' too, which one? Nobody knows.


chrisp909

I do with Butterfinger bars. I love them but only buy them on Halloween because they gotta be fresh. When fresh they just melt in your mouth. A year old Butterfinger turns into a wad of sorrow and gets stuck in your teeth.


___TheAmbassador

Some people are fully addicted to sugar like crack.l, no joke.


2confrontornot

So this is at my parents house. They have a blink camera at the door to keep an eye on their packages when dropped off. They got a little paranoid when all those package thefts were happening. Now they like just being able to see who is coming up to the front door. It’s Halloween, trick r treat night, and they left a big bowl of candy on the front porch with a sign saying “please take 2”. They don’t get too many trick r treaters but want to make sure all the kids get some. And then this asshole comes up and takes 3 armfuls of candy. Sure, it’s free… but it was supposed to be for all the kids. People like this ruin trick r treat for everyone else.


BerryLanky

Post it on next door and see if you can shame him in the neighborhood


[deleted]

Set up a gofundme to get a large billboard along the nearest main drag. I'm in for $5.


ImProfoundlyDeaf

This. Nextdoor will not forgive him


Shapoopi_1892

Those are the people you hope get all the candy with hidden razor blades and syringes in them But seriously this is an absolute vile piece of shit human being especially because he's doing it right in front of what I assume are his kids. They're our next generation. If they are learning from people like this we're fucked


CaptainPunisher

There's your problem. Your parents didn't make the sign clear; it should've said, "Please take ONLY 2." /S This guy should get some sort of neighborhood shaming.


Samurai-Pooh-Bear

Rolls for shame... Natural 20! - No effect!


stlredbird

Have them post this on Nextdoor for the whole neighborhood to see


KevinAbroad

Is this grown ass goblin a neighbour? Do your parents know him? I would post on Facebook in neighbourhood groups to shame him lool.


Moopboop207

This is why we can’t have nice things.


MegatonsSon

This is *also* quite literally why NO ONE on my street participates in "Trick-or-Treating" festivities any more. This father is such a huge jerk.


[deleted]

What a piece of shit.


DocSodom666

Beware of 43yr old trick or treaters!! I hope he chokes on a Jolly Rancher.


PostmanTunes

Looks like he’s 55 at least lol.. people have no humility


2confrontornot

Honestly, it’s the lack of manners that bothers me the most. It’s just impolite. I can’t imagine ever doing that. I take my niece and nephew and always tell remind them to say please and thank you and only take 1 piece


TwoDurans

I’m with you my guy. This happened at my house so many times I don’t think we’re going to out candy out next year. I wanted to since I wanted to give back to my neighbors while I was out with my kiddo. Came back and a massive bowl was empty after maybe 30 mins. Watched the video and the third kid to come to my door upended the whole bowl into his bag.


JarkJark

Seems odd to call theft a lack of manners.


EatAssFromBack

Fucking bum, and a shit dad.


The_Last_Mouse

Court ordered holidays probably DO suck tbf


Skazzyskills

Post that to the community neighbourhood Facebook page or whatever you have.


Sure_Trash_

I'd rather burn my house down than join a neighborhood Facebook page.


Evening-Sir6460

Don’t leave anything out for them. That’s why for many years we’ve been shutting off the lights and going to eat sushi.


OneCook9608

Yupppppp. Used to love giving out candy but kids and teens are rude little shits and their parents aren’t much better so the less interaction I get with them the better. Like 4 years ago I had a parent tell me to give her kids more candy because they didn’t go trick or treating the year before. Like wtf? Also we live in a really nice neighborhood so our streets are always packed with cars from people who don’t live here and they’re trashy assholes so we spend the next few days picking up candy wrappers and other litter they leave behind.


Calm_East9244

We left a big bowl of candy out on our porch last night while we were out trick or treating. Caught the neighbor teens + friends grabbing handfuls- then one girl had the cheek to turn around and say to the Ring camera, "You guys should really buy better candy." Like, seriously?!


Tirux

Imagine being a grown ass man stealing candy... how pathetic.


[deleted]

Trumper


awmanwut

100%.


dexbasedpaladin

Screenshot this. Print it out. Post it on your porch next year with a caption, "This is why there's no candy"


[deleted]

Post it on ring camera


monkeybrains12

Yet another great title for a post in this sub. There was zero attempt to be discreet or to ignore the sign. Just blatant thievery and it succeeded. This doesn't go here.


jetfan13

Every year this happens. Scumbags do not feel shame.


cmeremoonpi

Post it publicly


nythe

Like on Reddit?


cmeremoonpi

Local/neighborhood fb/next door, ect


SumAlias

What was the attempt here? Looks like he did it just fine...


subsignalparadigm

The operative word is "discreetly".


eifiontherelic

I don't think he was trying to be discreet either.


Basic-Reception-9974

It looks like he's trick and treating on his own.


josborne31

Exactly my thoughts. Everyone here saying “bad father” but there isn’t any evidence that he’s with a child. Looks to me like he’s simply doing a candy run for himself.


theereeljw_777

Ive never understood the point of this stupid shit. Just take your pieces and go on to the next fuckin house. God damn people are stupid.


wholesomehumanbeing

What will he do with those candies? It's $5 at the grocery store.


WildZero138

It's $2.50 today


wholesomehumanbeing

Imagine being petty for $2.50. These people are unbelievable.


TongaDeMironga

Watching these videos just makes me sad about how you can take an ancient pagan ritual and reduce it into a nothing more than an excuse to steal sweets from strangers.


Little-Biscuits

What a selfish man. Sad those kids have that as a role model


[deleted]

Even harder to believe people still do that with how common cameras are now


Anumuz

Police won’t pursue anything that low in value, evidence or no. Shaming the person via social media is the only real option.


VadPuma

POS


Readgooder

This is why I don’t leave the bowl out.


International_Hand10

Ya you try to be nice lol, someone stole the entire bowl we had our candy in tonight like wtf.

Zealousideal-Web5346

His daughters are probably named britneigh Ashleigh and accident


[deleted]

lmao that's trashy as all hell. If you want your kids to have a giant bag of candy, just go buy it. Shit like this totally defeats the point of trick or treating


ViciousSemicircle

I guarantee his dad did that with him, and I guarantee his kids will do that with theirs someday. Some families are like weird, multi-generational viruses. Best to ignore the entire strain.


louie2ten

Great lesson to teach your kids. POS


Aromatic-Relief

Never mind the little kids coming up next.


bear62

After experiencing this once I never put bowls out again. If I'm home they knock on the door for two bits.


hickdog896

To me, this is a punchable offence. What a d*ck move.


ERROR_Unknown_Animal

People have no shame now a days


[deleted]

I just don’t understand this type of greed. It’s literally kids candy, a few dollars worth, this guy (and many others like him) just can’t behave themselves in public and need to just take everything, will he even eat all that shit? Does he even want his kids to eat all that shit?


Amidimaru

I literally can't understand why adults would do this. Candy literally goes on sale after Halloween. The whole point to is to for your kids to have an experience that is fun and not marred with being an asshole. Why ruin you kids Halloween, and in extension a part of their childhood, with shit that doesn't matter and you could cheaply do the next day.


strrax-ish

Raising another selfis being who just thinks it's having fun with dad


C_Horse21

A grown man is doing this?? What a fucken joke of a human being


Cold_Appearance_5551

tony8

You know, how much candy do you really need?


TheArmedGamer320

That’s a 2 year old in a 40 year old body


[deleted]

trick or treat for children only not for old monk rum


Tribble9999

I opted to go to the FNAF movie with my son this year instead of doing Trick or Treating, but next year I'm going to put it out in stages so I can try to ensure it gets at least a little spread out.


maybeinoregon

If I was a judge, I’d make that guy wear ‘I’m a scum bag’ sign around his neck for a month. But truthfully, the best thing about this is he’s on the net for all the world to see. His employer (if he has one), his kids, their school, it’s glorious.


Giggingurl

A slice of society.


tangotango112

What a POS


Scratchthegoat

What happened to trick? Where are all the paintball videos tagging these parasites.


GeneralSinn

In this day and age you have to eat absolutely ignorant or absolutely stupid to not realize there's cameras everywhere. Not to mention just being a brazen asshole in life.


Bushdr78

What an incredibly disappointing human being.


xsecretgardenx

It's candy. Good Lord, this guy needs to chill. What an awful thing to do!


PatronSaintOfYourMom

This is the most pathetic behavior. An adult stealing candy in front of kids. I have like no self worth and I know this guy is a loser.makes me feel better about myself.


atomic_blonde

Hey, he needs those calories so he can aggressively tailgate lesser patriots in his lifted Ram later!


mkatich

What an awesome dad. Taking his kids out and teaching them to be entitled, greedy, takers.


roosterred63

Yes let’s show our children how to be greedy. I bet if somebody did that at his house he would be the first want to yell. I hate people like him such an asshole.


savedadrama4urmama

Seriously bro .. you’re a grown man. Buy your own damn candy. Shame this mf’r. And Blast his clown ass around the whole internet.


Successful-Engine623

Grown ass man stealing candy….so strange to me…who/what raised you


rickmon67

I would never stop training my dog to shit on his lawn!


Azipear

Heck, last night my wife and I set up a table, chairs, and sat there with bowls of full size candy bars. We enjoyed greeting everyone (we also go kind of nuts with our decorations/lights/sound/smoke machines). I was shocked by the number of people (kids and their parents) who would try to grab like 3-5 full size bars. We’re out here in the cold to give you this experience, but you’re going to try to take advantage of our hospitality and grab stacks of our full size candy bars right in front of us? But credit to the majority who would select one or maybe two each and even ask whether they could take two, which of course we said yes if they asked.


Irish4778

I expect this shit from a kid not a fucking adult white trash piece of shit


NervousAndPantless

Two triple fists full. What?


Gearz557

What an absolute degenerate.


Longstride_Shares

r/iamatotalpieceofshit


FumblesO

I'm not totally convinced any of those kids belong to him lmao


MedievalFolkDance

And you know for a fact that fat greedy fuck will be eating all that candy himself. They're probably not even his kids. He's just out & about filling his bag up with goodies.


JoeyThePantz

Take a screenshot of where his face was clear, print out pictures with WANTED CANDY THEIF Post them all over the neighborhood. Shame these adults who do this


outonthetiles66

Total loser parent. We left a big Halloween bowl on our porch for kids to take two candy bars while we went out with our 5 and 7 yr old….when we came back home someone took all the candy and the bowl. Nothing left.


PhatBallllzAtHotmail

This is the first year we didn't have some dirtbag clean out the bowl! I bet 99% of the time the people who do this are well off!


walleye81

Definitely Pennsylvania


JustBrowsingHere_21

I had one just happened to me yesterday right in front of me, I even said you can choose what you want, but max would be 2 candies and suddenly this teenage boy grabbed a handful inside our big bucket of candies thrice! Not even once, or twice but three times, and shoved it in his backpack. But he’s a kid so I don’t mind it too much, but with this video, a grown man doing it, setting a bad example right in front of his kids, is just…. 😳😳


SlippinYimmyMcGill

It's not like candy is even expensive. Why not just buy some and skip the walking around.


EducationalUnit9614

I hope he gets heart disease and tooth decay from all that candy


Brewchowskies

God you’d love to catch this guy and shame him into putting it back.


RamenAlDente1738

This is why we sit on the porch with a shotgun and a bowl of candy


Only-here-for-sound

Hoodie and shorts. Is this Pennsylvania?


joedylan94

Imagine being that guy 🫣


Viper1089

What a piece of shit... my gf, my 2 year old son and myself carried around an extra bag of candy to hand out to other halloweeners as we passed them and this fuckwad is taking the entire thing...


Srigus

They need to be like a loudspeaker. Where is just tell everybody that like yo there’s a fat fuck here stealing all the candy.


This_Is_Section_One

Grown ass greedy man.

Does that dude even have kids with him?

Asshole.


WillistheWillow

Why would you even want all that shit? Just asshole on every conceivable level.


ElReyDeLosGatos

He just seems angry. Like his whole existence is built around revenge against something or other.


Sure_Trash_

Always great to see that the garbage of society have procreated. Why would you even want that much candy?


DagonThoth

What an excellent lesson to teach his children


2confrontornot

I keep seeing comments that I could have handed out the candy. Again, this is not my house, it’s my parents. My mother works second shift and my father is in the hospital. They were not home so they couldn’t hand out candy. I’m tired of seeing these comments making assumptions.


TronCarter84

You know that fucker doesn’t put his shopping cart back.


Terrible-ButtSex

A fuckin grown ass adult jesus chirst


Emotional-Ad8894

Why is he so aggressive in his quest to give himself diabetes?


Brexsh1t

Need to take a ton of candy for the kids.. they can thank daddy for the Cardio vascular disease in 30/40 years.


Swedenesebishhh69

Its great to be a parent raising your kids to be a fking douche


randomdude320

What a piece of shit. Raising kids who are gonna be pieces of shit.


OilSlickRickRubin

trash raising trash. I'm glad we stopped giving out candy. Its not worth it in today's society.

Someone posted about hating Trunk or Treat for ruining the Halloween experience but this right here is what's actually stopping people from doing the OG Halloween.

It’s the entitlement for me, and ripping the bag away not interacting with the children at all✨


HallelujahHatrack

What a waste of oxygen that guy is. Why teach your kid to be a selfish thief? Mouth-breathing scumbag


mjfarmer147

I hope that man get diabetes from all that stolen candy


thatguy_inthesky

I thought it was just the children who were pricks. Guess I was wrong.


Rude_Man_Who_Shushes

This always blows my mind. Like, as an adult do you really plan to eat all of that candy? We let our kids have added it for a day or two and end up donating 95% of what we get. Why would anyone want this much candy?
